Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Aug 07, 2023, 09:05:10 AMJust confirmed it, this was an adaptation of the anime.
Oh crap... I remember hearing the name
Annihilation floating around in regards to an AVP novel a couple years back (it popped into my mind again when the anime was revealed to have had that title), but I assumed that was more just coincidence than anything. I also had no clue that the
Annihilation novel never actually came out.
Was a synopsis for this book ever released? Or, erm, leaked?
The timing of this is also pretty interesting. We know the anime was both commissioned and later killed all during the Fox era, but Cadigan's
Alien 3 novel that this book was first teased in released in 2021, well into the Disney era. So someone in the relatively recent past had tried dusting
Annihilation (if not the anime itself, at least its story) off, before it got snuffed out again...
