THE WHALE WARRIORS The Battle at the Bottom of the World to Save the Planet's Largest Mammals

The crew of the R/V FARLEY MOWAT, owned by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, sail the Antarctic Ocean to destroy the property of people involved in illegal whaling. They kill no one. The author, aboard on assignment, describes an adventure more gripping than any novel. Narrator James Boles pronounces each word as if it were the most important. His distinctive manner of speaking adds color to the clever similes and portraits of the motley sailors out to save every creature in the sea. His deep voice will hook the listener to a lesson on the environment that seems of little interest to the world so far. The author’s descriptive ability and a narrator who can hone it to vocal rapture make for a listening experience that never stops being captivating and informative. J.A.H.
