{"product_id":"2940170572342","title":"The Whale Warriors: The Battle at the Bottom of the World to Save the Planet's Largest Mammals","description":"In the tradition of \u003ci\u003eThe Perfect Storm\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Whale Warriors\u003c\/i\u003e takes us on a hair-raising journey aboard a whale-saving pirate ship with a vigilante crew whose mission is to stop illegal Japanese whaling in the stormy remote seas off Antarctica.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor two months, journalist Peter Heller rode aboard the vegan pirate ship \u003ci\u003eFarley Mowat\u003c\/i\u003e as it stalked its prey-a Japanese whaling fleet-through the storms and ice of Antarctica. The ship is black, flies under a jolly roger, and carries members of the Sea Shepherd Society, a radical environmental group who are willing to die to stop illegal whale hunting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sea Shepherd ship, led by the charismatic Captain Paul Watson-a modern-day anti-Ahab-takes extreme risks in defense of whales and ratchets up the stakes. The ship is almost sunk twice, once in a force gale. Heller re-creates a nail-biting showdown when Watson and the crew attempt to ram an enormous Japanese whaling ship on the high seas, trying to tear open its hull with a steel blade called a \"can opener.\" The crews on board both ships know that there will be no assistance in this desolate part of the ocean. In thirty-five-foot seas, it is a deadly game of Antarctic chicken and a fast-paced, rollicking adventure in which the stakes cannot be higher.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156616397040,"sku":"2940170572342","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170572342_p0.jpg?v=1763712875","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170572342","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
