Time is running out for the iconic killer whales of Pacific coast
||| FROM GENE HELFMAN |||
Orca families have been decimated by humanity’s greed and folly, their food supply wiped out, their infants dying from starvation and tainted mother’s milk.
In a new novel from Lopez islander Gene Helfman, Beyond the Human Realm, captive male orca Makai is destined for freedom, when a human-caused tragedy upends his world.
Plotting revenge, acceptance into orca society, and reversal of his adopted family’s decline, his success hinges on fellow orca, whale researchers, and a runaway teenager with Orca Clan roots. But Makai’s radical plan must first overcome millennia of orca cultural tradition.
Profits from the sale of Beyond the Human Realm will be donated to orca conservation efforts. The book is now available at Darvill’s and also on Amazon in print and e-book format. Profits are being donated to orca conservation efforts.
I look forward to reading it!
