Thriller
An antiwhaling expedition to the freezing Antarctic
takes a violent turn in this powerful novel from bestselling
author and sailor David Poyer.
After a tragic
accident maims her laboratory assistant, Dr. Sara Pollard’s
career as a primate behaviorist lies in ruins. With nothing
left to lose, Pollard – descendant of a Nantucket captain
whose ship was sunk by a rogue whale – accepts an offer to
join anti-whaling activists on a round-the-world racing
yacht as the resident scientist. The plan is to sail from
Argentina to the stormy Antarctic Sea. There they'll
shadow, harass, and expose the Japanese fleet, which
continues to kill and process endangered whales in
internationally-declared sanctuaries.
But everyone
aboard Black Anemone has a secret, or something to
live down. Her crew—including a beautiful but
narcissistic film celebrity, an Afghan War veteran in search
of the buzz of combat, and an enigmatic, obsessive
captain—will confront hostile whalers, brutal weather,
dangerous ice, near-mutiny, and romantic conflict. But
no one aboard is prepared for what Nature herself has in
store . . . when they're targeted by a massive creature with
a murderous agenda of its own.
Filled with violence,
beauty, and magical evocations of life in the most remote
waters on Earth, The Whiteness of the Whale is a
powerful adventure by a master novelist.
