Security consultant “Jane Smith” receives an envelope with a key to a storage unit that holds a taxidermied hummingbird and clues leading her to a taxidermied salamander. Silvina, the dead woman who left the note, is a reputed ecoterrorist and the daughter of an Argentine industrialist. By taking the hummingbird from the storage unit, Jane sets in motion a series of events that quickly spin beyond her control.
Soon, Jane and her family are in danger, with few allies to help her make sense of the true scope of the peril. Is the only way to safety to follow in Silvina’s footsteps? Is it too late to stop? As she desperately seeks answers about why Silvina contacted her, time is running out—for her and possibly for the world.
Hummingbird Salamander is Jeff VanderMeer at his brilliant, cinematic best, wrapping profound questions about climate change, identity, and the world we live in into a tightly plotted thriller full of unexpected twists and elaborate conspiracy.
I’ve only just got around to reading my first VanderMeer but I’m super excited to read more! Also, I just LOVE the cover to this one. Very much looking forward to this story. Hummingbird Salamander is expected April 6th, 2021.
I’m really curious to see what you think of this one! I love that cover too though 😃
The covers is amazing! Thanks, I’m hoping I love it. 🙂
Such gorgeous cover!
Isn’t it?! I love it. 😀
I’m excited for this book too! Although the last VanderMeer book i read was a DNF, I have high hopes for this one😁
I hope we both love it! Maybe this one will redeem him for you haha. 🙂
I’ve yet to read VanderMeer, but I have a few of his titles on my shelf (his takedown of JKR impressed me), and I’ve been looking forward to this too.
I recently read Borne and loved it, I really want to check out more of his stuff now. Hope you get a chance too!
That cover is jaw-dropping, oh my gosh! I haven’t read anything from this author, but this book sounds amazing.
I’m inclined to get a copy just for that cover haha. I really want to read more VanderMeer though. 🙂
Vandermeer’s stuff is a bit too strange for me, but hope you’ll enjoy!
Well, I like weird stuff so I hope I enjoy this one! 🙂
Bit of a ‘marmite’ author but one that works for me – so yes, love to see this one.
