The Martian meets 127 Hours in this “fantastically gripping” (Owen King, New York Times bestselling author) thriller about a scuba diver who’s been swallowed by an eighty-foot, sixty-ton sperm whale and has only one hour to escape before his oxygen runs out.
Jay Gardiner has given himself a fool’s errand—to find the remains of his deceased father in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Monastery Beach. It may be useless, but Jay feels it’s the only way for him to lift the weight of guilt he has carried since his dad’s death.
The dive begins well enough, but the sudden appearance of a giant squid puts Jay in very real danger, made infinitely worse by the arrival of a sperm whale looking to feed. Suddenly, Jay is caught in the squid’s tenacles and pulled into the whale’s mouth where he is ejected into the first of its four stomachs. He quickly realizes he has only one hour before his oxygen tanks run out—one hour to do the impossible and somehow escape the belly of a whale.
Suspenseful and cinematic, Whalefall is “a deeply moving thriller” (Joshua Ferris, National Book Award finalist) about a young man who has given up on life…only to find a reason to live in the most dangerous and unlikely of places.
