Ballsy, firebrand, in your face--Dr. Jan Everett needs to be that and more in the gut-wrenching world she lives: the bloody heart of the whale war. She is also America's First Lady. Her militancy clashes with the President's driving ambition and their teetering marriage hits the rocks when she uncovers his backroom deal with Japan to avert a trade war and jumpstart his re-election campaign: a secret kill of 1972 blue whales stranded in the Bering Sea. Enraged, Jan hijacks the ship and services of Arlov Vesprhein, anotorious and dangerous whaling pirate, for an unprecedented rescue: a whale drive from the Arctic to the Antarctic!
Shadowing the drive is a Japanese armada of killer boats led by the last great factory ship, the Rising Sun, with Captain Yamamura, a legend whose tenacity equals his hatred for Jan. Stampeding leviathans, ruthless villains, a failing first marriage, the President's stumbling campaign, Jan's growing attraction for Vesprhein, the constant threat of mutiny, a looming financial meltdown--all dovetail into a sweeping, nailbiting, high seas adventure that builds toward an epic climax with shocking twists you won't see coming!
Slaughter Deck is not for the faint of heart. Fact intersects fiction for an eye-opening journey into a pitiless world of unspeakable savagery against one of the rarest and most spectacular creatures on Earth.
