Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin and her husband David (a Djinn) are slowly dying, as they have lost their supernatural abilities. In addition, Mother Earth is waking up, and she is not sentimental about the humans who have so callously trashed the planet. In fact, the Djinns are being pulled back under her command as a superior fighting force against humanity. Joanne and David don't want to see the planet or humanity destroyed so, once again, they have to throw themselves into impossible situations to try to save the world.

Although a great book by itself, as the latest (and possibly final?) of nine Weather Warden novels, TOTAL ECLIPSE presents a fantastic culmination of the action, angst, danger and romance of the entire series. The exposition is well-crafted in this novel, so it is easy to figure out what is going on, but starting from the first Weather Warden novel is advised for the best experience.
