Review
An intensely personal account ... Scientific, political, and historical details are woven into a highly readable narrative ... Recommended. (Library Journal )

Superb ... A fine story of adventure ... One of the best nature books of the year. (Publishers Weekly )

There is nothing wildlife needs more urgently than truth... Hoyt tells the truth about the orca in his fascinating book. (Roger Caras ABC-TV News )

A well-compounded blend of close-up nature observation, scientific knowledge, and history. (Elizabeth N. Shor, Scripps Institute of Oceanography San Diego Union Tribune )

An enchanting story of adventure and discovery, one told with style, insight, charm and thoroughness. (Akron Beacon Journal )

I have never read a better book on whales, partly because Hoyt writes so well. (Philadelphia Inquirer )

Engaging picture ... Hoyt's style is easygoing and comfortable, and as well organized as it is informative. (Cleveland Plain Dealer )

A well-written, balanced account ... interspersed in the story are excellent summaries of our current knowledge. (Edward Mitchell, Arctic Biological Station [Canada] Canadian Geographic )

Monumental achievement...the best whale book in years. (Ronn Patterson Oceans )
