Selected Reviews
“Superb...A fine story of adventure...One of the best nature books of the
year.” — Publishers Weekly
“Hoyt's passionate sense of kinship with orca makes his account effective as
both science and literature. He has chronicled his adventures and
discoveries...with grace, insight, wit – and a comprehensiveness that might
satisfy even Herman Melville.” — Discover, New York
“One of those rare, genuine books about a wild animal.” — Niko Tinbergen,
Nobel Laureate
