This book is about fathers and sons and family and grief. It is about love and loss and guilt and growth. It is about death and the desperate urgency to survive horrifying situations. It is about the ocean and the almost alien life inside it. It is about horrors both natural and man-made in origin and it is about hope.
I like my science fiction best when it is grounded firmly in realistic and believable science and Daniel Kraus met that expectation fantastically. The horror was built in layers of realism I genuinely didn't expect.

Intense and emotional. I wasn't prepared for this. Just as much about Jay's relationship with his dad as it is about being inside a whale. I should have read the author bio first because I also wasn't prepared for the explicit descriptions of illness, injuries, and whale innards.inirac's review
