And the Whales Came

By J. S. MORELOCK

It was estimated that six million had died at the hands of man. Hunted almost to extinction they had been inoffensive, had harmed no man, yet were brutalized, boiled down for their essences, and on occasion eaten.

Then they declared war on Mankind.

Cetacea is an Antarctic blue whale, the largest creature on earth, and he becomes the focal point of a battle royale which brings the world's human population to its collective knees. He had been waiting, waiting for the better part of two hundred years to develop the science of genetics to a level that would allow he and the entire whale species to put a stop to the destruction of their kind. They were at least as smart as mankind and it didn't hurt a bit that they were generally bigger. Now, how to go about it?

And the Whales Came is a reflection on the necessities of survival for both Mankind and all the denizens of the oceans, Oceankind. The Whales speak on behalf of all and their interference is sufficiently drastic that Mankind must take reprisal action to prevent the economy of the entire industrial/commercial world from coming to a screeching halt. Or, perhaps, come to its senses and give in to the demands of the Whales. The demands are formidable, oppressive, and potentially disastrous, but equally so are the conditions of the oceans of the world.

Three people take on the challenge presented by Cetacea, Commander Stewart Grey, an officer with Naval Marine Intelligence; Professor Charlez Kristiansen, Dean of Oceanography at Scripts Institute and a Ph.d in the field of cetology; and Ralph "Chip" Mascarell, also a naval officer, genius, and expert in the developing field of computer artificial intelligence.
The three develop a system of communication that allows them to contact, and speak with, the whales following a naval disaster in the Straits of Denmark off Greenland. A nuclear sub is lost with all hands and sent to the bottom by whales of a size previously unknown . The message becomes clearer as a Norwegian whale fleet is decimated, Chinese cargo ships sunk, and British oil drilling rigs capsized.

The Whales are not happy.
