In The Ice at the End of the World, Robert Siegel brings the Whalesong trilogy to an exciting conclusion as Hralekana, the white humpback whale, and his human friend, Mark, struggle to prevent a... This description may be from another edition of this product.
None of the reviews do these books justice. The first book, Whalesong, is a very good book. The next 2 books get better and better. But you really need to read Whalesong before going on the others. Yes, 'saving the whales' is an obvious theme, and for good reason! Maybe if more people thought about what we are doing to the planet from the whales' point of view, they would change. But, that is not really what this trilogy is about. These books are about the spiritual journey, about visionquests, about life and death. Each book in the trilogy gets better. Start with Whalesong and by the time you finish Ice you will not be the same. Allow this beautiful, spiritually uplifting tale to inspire and transform you! Very consciousness-raising, and by that I mean spiritually. Also poetically written. You'll shed some tears, but you will feel enriched. What if...just what if...it's true??? What if whales really do have a culture as emotionally and spiritually rich as our own? You think that sounds far-fetched? You won't after you read these wonderful books.

All three of the Whalesong books are wonderful, including this one. The also almost poetic and beautfil way each novel is written is astonishing. It's the view from a pod of Humpback whales and their lives. In this one, Hralekana leads his pod to find food, but ends up saving most of the ocean and sea life. Even if you haven't read the first two, read this one, it's more than worth it ;)
