A Small Sea Rises: A Novel

De: J.R. Rain

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A year ago, Sheriff Luke Tanner watched the unthinkable: his son Julien torn from his water skis and dragged under by an orca off the Alaskan coast. His body was never found. Kimko-21—the enormous bull whale identified from video evidence—became the first killer whale in recorded history to slaughter a human in the wild.

Everyone called it a tragic accident. A freak, unexplainable moment of nature. But Luke can’t let it go. He can’t forgive. He can’t forget.

Now, as the anniversary of Julien’s death looms, Luke calls in sick to work, loads his battered fishing boat with rifles and an old harpoon, and sets out alone into the icy North Pacific. His mission is simple. Find the killer whale. And end it.

But as he battles freezing seas, failing equipment, and his own haunted memories, Luke confronts the raw, indifferent wilderness—and the truth about revenge, grief, and what it means to be a father who couldn’t save his child.

A Small Sea Rises is a stark, haunting, and deeply human journey into the heart of obsession and loss. Perfect for fans of Moby-Dick, Old Man and the Sea, and Into the Wild, and psychological tales of man versus nature where the real monster might be the one at the helm.

Will he end up shark bait and no closure? Read the story if you want these answers. Its worth the short read.” —Amazon review

★★★★★ “A heartfelt exploration of loss, grief and forgiveness. A great story of how love transcends death and understanding transcends cruelty.” —Amazon review

★★★★★ “This book was not the usual J.R. Rain paranormal book (nothing against Samantha Moon and all the other vampires, mermaids, and other heroes that go bump in the night). It was thoroughly enthralling, keeping me interested in the mental and physical trials and tribulations reminiscent of Ahab and his search for the Great White Whale. The book has no dialog, but the main character’s narrative is true to life and believable. The action is well placed and keeps the reader enthralled. It is a story that easily allows the reader to suspend disbelief.” —Amazon review
