Book Cover & Preview Text
Suddenly an enormous finback whale erupted from the depths like a missile launched from some underwater silo. The head of the thirty foot beast shot high out of the water with jaws opened wide. The entire ball of sardines was being devoured in a single gulp! At the apex of its leap, ten feet above the surface of the ocean, the whale slowly closed its mouth. Water streamed from the corners of its jaws. Terrified sardines flapped wildly along the sides of the whale's airborne head trying to escape ingestion. Three white marlin and two tuna, all caught in the explosive surge of the finback and tossed in the air, beat their tails frantically while they attempted to snatch the petrified bait dribbling out of the corners of the whale's mouth.
