Sounding

""He had a brain biologically identical to man's but seven times its weight and volume," writes Hank Searls of a massive, aging sperm whale whose compassion, fear, and anger at man's attacks on his kind drives the best-selling novelist's intricately researched classic SOUNDING. The young sonar officer of an accidentally sunken Russian spy submarine teetering on a rocky seamount off New York prepares to die with the lovely ship's surgeon and the rest of his shipmates. Everyone has lost hope--until they hear the whales sounding above. Once a Cetacean epic told the tale of man and whale swimming together in harmony. Can these ancient times be revisited? Experience what the Los Angeles Times called " ... a rare success.""@en
"A mighty sperm whale, looking for a chance to meet and understand man, gets his chance when a Russian sub is stranded miles beneath the water's surface."
"Teetering on a rocky sea-mount off New York, the young sonar-officer of a sinking submarine prepares to die. Everyone has lost hope, until they hear the whales sounding above. Once a Cetacean epic told the tale of man and whale swimming together in harmony - now this tale of survival has come to life."@en
