This was certainly interesting! When I started out reading this, I thought it was going to be a humorous satire similar to Carl Hiaasen's novels. In fact, I had just finished Hiaasen's "Native Tongue" a few weeks ago (highly recommend). It started out that way with the story of Nate Quinn and his crew studying the songs of humpback whales with a lot of humor thrown in. Some of it was laugh out loud funny such as the story of the women researchers being assaulted by a pair of whale "willies". But then the story went to bizarro land! I must say that Moore has a heck of an imagination and strayed way outside the box with this one. I don't want to spoil this for other readers so I won't say too much about what happened, but you do find out the fate of Amelia Earhart! Overall, a moderate recommendation. I will look out for Moore's other works to see how they compare.
