<p>“Action-packed environmental thriller” --Kirkus Reviews“Swift-moving story of adventure and redemption” --Wayne Ude, Northwest Institute of Literary Arts“Covers critical issues about Southern Resident orcas” --Howard Garrett and Susan Berta, Orca Network “Captures the roles of protest in making public policy” --Allen L. CarpenterOrcaSpeak is a Pacific Northwest orca protection organization created by Ben and Frances Singleton. A ferry crash occurs at a local dock when a peaceful protest against fossil fuels conducted by eco-activist Donal Hopkins is sabotaged by a violent teammate, Nick Malit. Donal kidnaps Frances on the ferry and steals her car to carry out the next phase of his protest. When Frances and her car apparently disappear in the crash, police think she’s dead but Ben searches for his beloved wife helped by marine biologists Selena Campbell and Gabriel Jordan. As Donal tries to block Nick from worse acts of terrorism and plans a new mission to protect orcas and whales from sonar tests by the U.S. Navy, he falls in love with his prisoner, Frances. This novel is a moving story that conveys the urgency of containing impacts of the military-industrial-political complex on orcas, whales, and ocean pollution, and the dedication and personal sacrifice that public protest can require. OrcaSpeak’s prequel, “Frankenfish Code,” Selena and Gabriel’s first adventure together, will be available in 2014 from Whidbey Publishing. “A swift-moving story of adventure and redemption” --Wayne Ude, Northwest Institute of Literary Arts “Covers critical issues about Southern Resident orcas; a suspenseful thriller with fun characters” --Howard Garrett and Susan Berta of Orca Network (photos at www.orcanetwork.org) “Captures the roles of protest in making public policy”--Allen L.
