In the chilling and prophetic sequel to The Philodendrist Heresy, a year has passed since Danielle Gasket miraculously escaped the crypt nation - the subterranean dystopia where she was born. Now Danielle' s fledgling skills in tracking and stealth are pitted against the machines and guns of the crypt nation. Ancient canisters of deadly substances have begun to leak, imperiling all life on the earth' s surface. Danielle must return to the crypt nation to find a fabled elixir, the technological antidote to the poisons. She descends into the underworld with Cougar, Panther, and Jaguar, the three brothers who have been teaching her how to survive in the wild. Though Danielle alone ascends again with the elixir, she bears a message from Panther: ' Our smoke does not rise to the heavens, but at least it perfumes a less odious hell. '
Welcome to the bizarre and chilling world of a subterranean future where all your needs have been anticipated and provided by society' s long dead planners . . . except freedom. You' ll cheer Brody' s plucky heroine on as she makes her break for a rumored heaven somewhere beyond her familiar hell - the very heaven we are now foolishly destroying, tree by tree. -Stephen Wing, Free Ralph! An Evolutionary Fable With her acerbic wit and unsettled intestines, Danielle Gasket may make an unlikely heroine. But her arduous journey, from techno-dystopia to a full embrace of the natural world, offers a necessary parable for our ecologically troubled times. -Kyle Kramer, A Time to Plant: Life Lessons in Work, Prayer, and Dirt Witty, clever, absurd, intricate, compelling. . . delightful. Brody has taken a fresh and engaging approach to ancient storytelling dichotomies of dark and light, below and above, soiled and pure, descension and ascension-both literally and figuratively. The Entropy Heresy is a captivating and complete story in its own right that picks up where The Philodendrist Heresy left off, on a far future Earth of Brody' s wonderful imagination. Brody effectively blends science fiction, fantasy, philosophy, and advocacy into a work that is both fun to read and thought-provoking. -Erik Oliver, Cornerstone and Grove
