Description
The Strange Bird is a new kind of creature, born from the experiments of a laboratory. Part bird, part human, and many other things, she is a marvel of modern science. But when the lab is under siege, she must use her wits and cunning to escape capture. As she flies through the tunnels and dodges bullets, she changes her colors and patterning to avoid detection. But the sky itself is full of wildlife that rejects her, and the detritus of human civilization that threatens to destroy the world. She finds herself in the orbit of the Company, a collapsed biotech firm that has populated the world with experiments gone wrong. In this new perspective, Jeff VanderMeer explores the world from a unique angle, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. The Strange Bird is a powerful and thought-provoking addition to the world of Borne.
