Ivy Moon Total Eclipse - Paperback

Ivy Moon's quest to save her mother and what is left of humanity continues in this compelling post-apocalypse duology of survival, mystery and discovery. Once known as the anti-Greta Thunberg (a title she shuns), Ivy learns about her past, drawing on her passion for truth and science to prevail against all odds. Stripped of her memory, her handful of friends, and Tonka, the West Highland Terrier that became her link to sanity, the girl who can't even remember her age sets off on a journey through a countryside where nature is re-surging with a vengeance. Confronted by growing hordes of animals, decaying cities, and a cult of elites desperate to end her life, Ivy fights to overcome her fears and the horrible truth as to what killed mankind. But will knowing the truth save her and the last remnants of civilization?

More than a tale of survival, Ivy Moon Total Eclipse is a cautionary tale for our times. Furney does an amazing job of pulling back the curtain of contemporary social and scientific issues to afford us a glimpse into a frightening future reflected in today's headlines. While many will consider this to be a work of science fiction, almost all of the science woven into the story exists today. Lest there be any doubts, the caution in this tale (like that in Orwell's 1984) isn't about the misuse of science, it is about the capacity of some people to use science and technology for personal gain, often in the belief that the outcome, as horrible and inhuman as it may be to others, justify the means they employ.
