They killed us with snares. They trampled us under horses’ hooves.

by I'm a huge Jeff VanderMeer fan, but didn't initially realize this was set in the Borne universe. That should have just been the added bonus, but thing is my memory being what it is and my reading being as prolific as it is, I didn’t remember the minute details of Borne’s plot, such as dead astronauts mentioned in the book. So yeah, after a while, it just gets tiresome. Dead Astronauts is Southern Reach on acid in another time and place.

Dead Astronauts is Southern Reach on acid in another time and place.I can't be honest and give this anything but 1 star. After a while you start realizing the narrative tricks VanderMeer utilizes and he doesn’t just use, he abuses them all.

I can see there is an aesthetic that appears to be a psychedelic new mythology of apocalyptic eco-horror.

Just absorb the imagery and the Dead Astronauts is the second novel in Vandermeer's Borne World.

[the astronauts indeed came from three different timelines and were scouring yet other timelines for a version in which humanity wasn't dying or even dead already [the three somehow got taken from their timelines and put together like rats in a labyrinth and only if they stayed together could they access the next level/timeline.

So when I saw a new book of his come up on Netgalley, I requested it right away without even reading the plot…or finding out that it is, in fact, a sequel of sorts to Borne.

David Bowie had just one dead astronaut, poor Maj. Tom, in his quiver. Download or stream Dead Astronauts by Jeff VanderMeer. They have little memory of their lives before, but they recognize each other as a band of brothers which has failed at a comparable quest multiple times before.I can try to explain, but... 99.999% sure that if one hasn't read I can try to explain, but... 99.999% sure that if one hasn't read I gave this five stars because I thought it was totally original, enthralling, daring, strangely mournful, and very thought provoking.

There is no story, only moods, images, and impressionistic character appearances. There are no characters to care about.

Until now my experience with Jeff VanderMeer has been restricted to reading Borne.

December 3rd 2019 There's something a tad more melodramatic in this book's conception (and resolution) than one expects from Whitehead, giving it a drugstore-paperback glossiness that enhances its blunt-edged impact.

Its fortress “City” seems to be some sort of AI juggernaut with incredible powers to marshal all kinds of forces and biocybernetic creatures to protect itself. edited by I think.
