About the Author
Novelist and screenwriter Hank Searls, author of the bestselling Overboard, Jaws II, and Sounding, is creator of the New Breed TV series and writer of Fugitive TV episodes. His novel Pilgrim Project became Robert Altman’s film Countdown. He has lived most of his life on, under, or over the ocean, having been a world-cruising yachtsman, underwater photographer, and navy flier. He lives in Gig Harbor, Washington, with his wife, Bunny.
From the Inside Flap
es us into the extraordinary mind and emotions of the magnificent sperm whale, an aging bull roaming the waters of the Atlantic. Troubled and separated from his herd, the whale wants to fulfill his one obsessive desire -- to communicate with the human race and learn why they can be both vicious hunters and frolicking playmates.
Far away, on a doomed Russian nuclear submarine, Lieutenant Peter Rostov, the sonar officer and a classical musician, is spending what he's sure are his last days listening to the beautiful "sounding" of the whale.
In the amazing climax to this unique novel, man and whale come together -- and a magnificent destiny is fulfilled.
"Searls is remarkably eloquent. . . . you'll stand up and cheer." -- The Washington Post Book World

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Fair. A New York Times-bestselling author's intricately conceived, remarkably eloquent response to Moby-Dick a story of harmony between man and whale (The Washington Post). This unique adventure tale follows two characters: one a sonar officer aboard a sinking Russian nuclear submarine; the other a massive, aging sperm whale swimming nearby. As the young man spends what may be his last days with the ship's lovely surgeon, he listens to the plaintive calls of the whales sounding--calls of compassion, fear, and anger at humankind's attacks on his species. Little does he realize these fellow creatures may also provide his only hope of survival. Giving voice to these magnificent mammals, Hank Searls--who in addition to his work as a writer has also been a yachtsman, underwater photographer, and Navy flyer--taps into our ancient connection to the natural world in a fascinating, suspenseful, and provocative drama.
