出自普立茲獎得主、《Angel Down》作者之手，《Whalefall》是一部兼具科學真實性與強烈張力的驚悚小說。故事描述一名潛水員意外被一頭長達八十英尺、重達六十噸的抹香鯨吞入腹中，而他只有短短一小時的氧氣可用，必須在窒息之前設法逃出生天。
傑伊．加德納（Jay Gardiner）替自己安排了一場近乎不可能完成的任務，並前往太平洋蒙納斯特里海灘（Monastery Beach）外海，尋找已故父親的遺骸。他明知道成功機率微乎其微，卻認為唯有如此，才能擺脫自父親於前一年自殺離世後，一直壓在心頭的愧疚與自責。
起初，這趟潛水進行得十分順利，直到一隻巨型魷魚突然現身，讓傑伊陷入致命危機。而更糟的是，一頭正在覓食的抹香鯨也隨之出現。轉眼間，傑伊被魷魚觸手纏住，連同獵物一起被捲入鯨魚口中，最後滑進牠四個胃室中的第一個。
很快地，他意識到自己只剩下一小時的氧氣存量——只有一小時，去面對長久以來糾纏自己的心魔，並設法從鯨魚腹中逃脫。
《Whalefall》節奏緊湊、畫面感十足，是一部兼具驚悚冒險與情感深度的小說。正如暢銷作家 Owen King 所形容，這是一部「充滿人性力量」的作品。它講述一位對生命失去希望的年輕人，如何在最危險、最不可思議的地方，重新找到活下去的理由。
From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Angel Down comes a scientifically accurate thriller about a scuba diver who’s been swallowed by an eighty-foot, sixty-ton sperm whale and has only one hour to escape before his oxygen runs out.
Jay Gardiner has given himself a fool’s errand—to find the remains of his deceased father in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Monastery Beach. He knows it’s a long shot, but Jay feels it’s the only way for him to lift the weight of guilt he has carried since his dad’s death by suicide the previous year.
The dive begins well enough, but the sudden appearance of a giant squid puts Jay in very real jeopardy, made infinitely worse by the arrival of a sperm whale looking to feed. Suddenly, Jay is caught in the squid’s tentacles and drawn into the whale’s mouth where he is pulled into the first of its four stomachs. He quickly realizes he has only one hour before his oxygen tanks run out—one hour to defeat his demons and escape the belly of a whale.
Suspenseful and cinematic, Whalefall is an “powerfully humane” (Owen King, New York Times bestselling author) thriller about a young man who has given up on life…only to find a reason to live in the most dangerous and unlikely of places.
