"In this action-packed ocean-going adventure, disgraced primate behaviourist Sara Pollard joins a handful of anti-whaling activists to sail a racing yacht into Antarctic waters to expose the illegal activities of a Japanese whaling fleet. But their fortitude is tested by the desolate environs, brutal storms, hostile adversaries, and romantic conflicts - and that's before encountering a sperm whale with a seemingly murderous agenda of its own. The vivid depictions of life at sea (author David Poyer is a retired naval officer) might have you grateful for dry land (and warm weather) while grimly anticipating the next disaster to befall the crew of the Black Anemone."
