War of the Whales is the gripping tale of a crusading
attorney who stumbles on one of the US Navy’s best-kept
secrets: a submarine detection system that floods entire
ocean basins with high-intensity sound—and drives whales
onto beaches. As Joel Reynolds launches a legal fight to
expose and challenge the Navy program, marine biologist Ken
Balcomb witnesses a mysterious mass stranding of whales near
his research station in the Bahamas. Investigating this
calamity, Balcomb is forced to choose between his conscience
and an oath of secrecy he swore to the Navy in his youth. When Balcomb and Reynolds team up to expose the truth behind
an epidemic of mass strandings, the stage is set for an epic
battle that pits admirals against activists, rogue
submarines against weaponized dolphins, and national
security against the need to safeguard the ocean
environment. Waged in secret military labs and the nation’s
highest court, War of the Whales is a real-life thriller
that combines the best of legal drama, natural history, and
military intrigue.
