The Whale Spirit

Controversy over whale hunting by the Native American, Makah tribe in Washington State after a seventy-year ban hit the national news in 1999, when the tribe harvested a whale. The author uses a myth among the Makahs that the "Whale Spirit," has protected its warriors in every war they have fought in under the U.S. flag. Set in the rain forest of the Pacific Northwest and the jungles of Vietnam, the book is a combination of culture, action, adventure, romance, and suspense. It is a page-turner that is guaranteed to make you use all your emotions.
