unters of the Dark Sea is a classic story of adventure in the tradition of Melville's Moby Dick and Richard Henry Dana's Two Years Before the Mast . . . with a compelling and scary twist. Whaling was not the safest of professions. In addition to the occupational risks of the job itself, there were the dangers of pirates as well as unscrupulous captains who were willing to lighten their crews in exchange for a larger take of the hold. A young mate knows the dangers but is willing to chance all for one last whale to top off their catch before they set sail for home . . . but there is something unusual about this last whale. And before you can say 'thar she blows,' they are being stalked and hunted by an unknown horror. Rich in historic and technological detail, Hunters of the Dark Sea is a classic pageturner of nineteenth century man battling both the forces of the known and the unknown on the deadliest of the high seas.
