The Whale Song Translation is a story about sound sounds of
language, sounds of songs, and the sounds that kill . . . When the
Navy's controversial sonar experiments begin to destroy Maui's
whales, an unlikely hero emerges. Inspired by his mentor's
paradigm-busting challenge to open a communications channel with
other big-brained species, acoustics professor David Dmitri begins
analyzing the songs of humpback whales. The quest to decode their
mysterious language leads him to an astonishing revelation. With
more proof, Dmitri realizes he could rally public opinion and
stanch the bloodshed. But as his team prepares to launch a voyage
of discovery in the Straits of Lahaina, others are determined to
stop him-whatever the consequences. In the spirit of Carl Sagan's
Contact and Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters, The Whale Song
Translation is a voyage of discovery into a new frontier: the
excitement of first contact and the recognition of the
intelligence, dignity, and wisdom of another earthly species. Built
on fascinating, believable science, Part I of The Torch of
Prometheus trilogy delivers thought-provoking "breakthroughs" about
language and intelligence in earth's other big-brained beings, and
explores the intertwined existential crises of humans and whales.
