Eye Of The Whale – Novel
Eye Of The Whale is an ecological suspense novel by national bestseller Douglas Carlton Abrams. This thriller is about a marine biologist whose fate is altered after the unexpected appearance of a humpback whale sends her on a race to discover the meaning of its mysterious song.
The main character, Elizabeth, is studying whales and their speech patterns. During her exhibition she hears an unusual pattern change in the whales song (the most complex in nature). Upon her return, her life begins spinning out of control as she receives a notice from her professor that her funding has been cut, and her husband has grown tired of her absence and leaves her. Then, when a humpback whale, Apollo, swims up the Sacramento River with a strange and unprecedented song, she makes it her mission to decipher its meaning in order to save the whale. Soon, Elizabeth is forced to decide if her discoveries are worth losing her marriage, her career, and possibly her life.
This complex book is packed with romance, science, suspense, and ecological facts, as it delves into the lives of its characters, including Elizabeth, her husband, her ex-boyfriend, her best friend an animal rights activist, whalers from around the world, professors, Apollo the whale, and a chemical company CEO. As timely as today’s ecological challenges and as timeless as the whales themselves, this novel takes readers into the mysterious world of humpback whales. In writing Eye of the Whale
