"Eye of the Whale is a page-turning blend of great storytelling and the latest insights of the world's leading environmental scientists. You'll race to the end of Doug Abrams' tense, heart-rending, fast-paced mystery. When you finally put his novel down, what you'll pick up, I predict, is fresh resolve for the fight to save planet Earth."

- Ken Cook, President of the Environmental Working Group

"Douglas Carlton Abrams is the Herman Melville of environmental fiction.”

- Devra Davis, Ph.D., author of When Smoke Ran Like Water and The Secret War Against Cancer

“Thrilling story, believable scientist, and it opens a window on reality that will change readers' lives. I'll certainly never think of whales the same way again -- and I want to know more. I feel that Doug has given shape to a global context. I was so struck by the thought that there's really only one ocean. Immense accomplishment."

- Nancy Ellen Abrams, co-author of The View from the Center of the Universe: Discovering Our Extraordinary Place in the Cosmos

"Eye of the Whale” is a compelling ecological story – whose most shocking facts are true – and modern thriller that keeps you turning pages until after midnight."

Eye of the Whale

Elizabeth McKay is a dedicated scientist who has spent almost a decade cracking the code of humpback whale communication. Their song, the most complex in nature, may in fact reveal secrets about the animal world that no one could have imagined. When a humpback whale swims up the Sacramento River with a strange and unprecedented song, Elizabeth must decipher its meaning in order to save the whale. But as her work with the whale captures the media’s interest and the world’s imagination, many powerful forces emerge who do not want the whale’s secrets to be revealed. Soon, Elizabeth is forced to decide if her discoveries are worth losing her marriage, her career, and possibly her life over.
