Just why do humpback whales sing? Thats the question that
has marine behavioral biologist Nate Quinn and his crew
poking, charting, recording, and photographing very big,
wet, gray marine mammals. Until the extraordinary day when
a whale lifts its tail into the air to display a cryptic
message spelled out in foot-high letters: Bite me.
Trouble is, Nate's beginning to wonder if he hasn't spent
just a little too much time in the sun. Cause no one else
on his team saw a thing -- not his longtime partner, Clay
Demodocus; not their saucy young research assistant; not
even the spliff-puffing white-boy Rastaman Kona (né Preston
Applebaum). But later, when a roll of film returns from the
lab missing the crucial tail shot -- and his research
facility is trashed -- Nate realizes something very fishy
indeed is going on.
By turns witty, irreverent, fascinating, puzzling, and
surprising, Fluke is Christopher Moore at his
outrageous best.
