MARQUETTE — At 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, the Peter White Public Library will host a meeting of its science fiction book group, Klava Klub, at The Crib, located at 401 N. Third St. Marquette.

For this meeting, the group will discuss Jeff Vandermeer’s novel, “Annihilation.” In this first book of the Southern Reach Trilogy, a group of four women–an anthropologist, surveyor, psychologist and biologist–are sent to map terrain and collect specimens in Area X. Cut off from the rest of the world for decades, Area X has been reclaimed by nature. Yet something strange is going on. People need to be hypnotized to get into it. Furthermore, when they leave, if they survive, they don’t remember leaving or even what happened. This is the twelfth expedition.

Come to The Crib, grab a cuppa, and discuss sci-fi novels old and new. There is no admission charge to attend. For more information, visit www.pwpl.info or call 226-4318.
