War of the Whales is the gripping tale of a crusading attorney who stumbles on one of the US Navy’s best-kept secrets: a submarine detection system that floods entire ocean basins with high-intensity sound - and drives whales onto beaches. As Joel Reynolds launches a legal fight to expose and challenge the Navy program, marine biologist Ken Balcomb witnesses a mysterious mass stranding of whales near his research station in the Bahamas. Investigating this calamity, Balcomb is forced to choose between his conscience and an oath of secrecy he swore to the Navy in his youth.
When Balcomb and Reynolds team up to expose the truth behind an epidemic of mass strandings, the stage is set for an epic battle that pits admirals against activists, rogue submarines against weaponized dolphins, and national security against the need to safeguard the ocean environment. Waged in secret military labs and the nation’s highest court, War of the Whales is a real-life thriller that combines the best of legal drama, natural history, and military intrigue.

Where does War of the Whales rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is the most informative audio book I've ever listened to. While it's a great dramatic story and and an interesting read, it also provides a wealth of information about whales, how they are being endangered by both commercial and military underwater sonar technologies, and the dedicated whale researchers and environmental activists that are working hard to save them. It is both fascinating and heart-breaking.What does Holter Graham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Holter's style brings to life all the drama, mystery,sadness and wonderment that this story contains.What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
That whales are being endangered and killed by human-produced sonar systems, that this has been going on for several decades, and how the Navy and even the Supreme Court has turned a blind eye to their plight.Any additional comments?
While this book is a true story and very informative, it's a great page-turner and reads more like a dramatic fiction.Excellent story, a real eye opener

Would you consider the audio edition of War of the Whales to be better than the print version?
This is not a 5 star for just this reason; the book jumps through many different time frames to tell anecdotes and give background, all of which are useful and appropriate, but which are harder to pull off in an audio format.What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
Legal drama, like it really is. Its all about risk, shades of grey and hard work.Legal Drama - better than fiction

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
This "story" never took off. The extreme detail and lack of any character development made it a chore to listen. I was interested in whales. I like science. This story just didn't have any characters that I could relate to or find any human interest in their adventure.What do you think your next listen will be?
I enjoy a wide range of books.What do you think the narrator could have done better?
The narrator did a good job with boring material.What character would you cut from War of the Whales?
The characters were not interesting in the leastSo boring I couldn't finish
