Title: The Thinning
Author: Inga Simpson
In The Thinning, bestselling author Inga Simpson crafts a powerful eco-thriller that explores humanity’s fragile bond with nature amid environmental crisis. Set in a near-future Australia, the story follows Fin, a young woman raised in an off-the-grid community led by her mother, a former astronomy expert. With the world facing mass extinctions and widespread loss of biodiversity, survival depends on constant vigilance. When a stranger—a member of the distrusted "Incompletes"—arrives in their remote camp, Fin is drawn into a high-stakes race to reach a monumental solar eclipse.
As they traverse dangerous terrain, Fin and her unlikely ally must overcome mutual distrust to play their part in a daring plan to restore hope to the natural world. Richly atmospheric and deeply urgent, The Thinning is a riveting look at resilience, adaptation, and the strength of the human spirit in the face of environmental collapse.

We haven't always lived like this . . .'
Fin grew up by an observatory, learning about telescopes and planets, inspired by the passions of her parents, then leaders in their fields of astrophotography and astronomy. Those days are long over. Now Fin, her mother, Dianella, and a band of outliers live deep off the grid, always on amber alert and always ready to run.
In the outside world, things are not good: extinctions and a loss of diversity threaten what's left of the environment. With a new disaster looming, Fin finds herself thrust into an unlikely partnership with a stranger who has appeared in their camp - one of a new breed of evolved humans, the Incompletes, who are widely distrusted. But the pair will need to work together during a dangerous journey if they are to play their part in an audacious plan to help restore the natural world - and humankind.
The Thinning is both an exquisitely written novel of nature and urgent thriller by the bestselling and acclaimed author of Willowman and The Last Woman in the World.
