A gem of a tale in the age of "disclosure"

This book was an unexpected surprise. I had only recently come across the author, and frankly out of the 3 books he has written this one was of the least personal interest to me.

That said, if you look through my reviews it is easy to see that I do in fact have an interest in the UFO phenomenon (I think every book Whitley Strieber has written on the topic is in my collection) and this story took me by surprise.

Perhaps because it is read by the author himself, the authenticity of the story - presented as fiction - shines through. The author turns out to be a very good narrator as it turns out also.

There is a lot to unpack about the book, and I don't want to give away any spoilers. The celestial narrative is juxtaposed with a very earthbound one that seems to balance the whole thing out in a strange, compelling way.

Mr. Brenner is not the first to link cetacean consciousness with ET business, but there are elements of this story - especially the nature of the space craft - that are unique.
