Produktbeschreibung

In the freezing Antarctic, an anti-whaling expedition takes a violent turn when targeted by a massive creature with a murderous agenda.

After a tragic accident ruins her career, primate behaviorist Dr. Sara Pollard joins anti-whaling activists on a round-the-world racing yacht as their resident scientist. Descendant of a Nantucket captain whose ship was sunk by a rogue whale, Pollard aims to sail from Argentina to the stormy Antarctic Sea. There they'll shadow, harass, and expose the Japanese fleet that continues to kill endangered whales in internationally-declared sanctuaries.

But aboard the Black Anemone, everyone has a secret or something to live down. Her crew-including a narcissistic celebrity, an Afghan War veteran seeking the combat buzz, and an enigmatic, obsessive captain-will face hostile whalers, brutal weather, dangerous ice, near-mutiny, and romantic conflict. And no one 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 master novelist David Poyer.
