The Ice at the End of the World Paperback – July 28, 2016

This book is part of a triology of environmentally sensitive, biologically sound fables that combine mythology, philosophy andan undeniable plea for intervention for the protection of the seas and the creatures therein. All three books are treasured in my personal library

None of the reviews do these books justice. The first book, Whalesong, is a very good book. The next 2 books get better and better. But you really need to read Whalesong before going on the others.Yes, 'saving the whales' is an obvious theme, and for good reason! Maybe if more people thought about what we are doing to the planet from the whales' point of view, they would change.But, that is not really what this trilogy is about. These books are about the spiritual journey, about visionquests, about life and death. Each book in the trilogy gets better. Start with Whalesong and by the time you finish Ice you will not be the same. Allow this beautiful, spiritually uplifting tale to inspire and transform you!Very consciousness-raising, and by that I mean spiritually. Also poetically written. You'll shed some tears, but you will feel enriched.What if...just what if...it's true??? What if whales really do have a culture as emotionally and spiritually rich as our own?You think that sounds far-fetched? You won't after you read these wonderful books.

All three of the Whalesong books are wonderful, including this one. The also almost poetic and beautfil way each novel is written is astonishing. It's the view from a pod of Humpback whales and their lives. In this one, Hralekana leads his pod to find food, but ends up saving most of the ocean and sea life. Even if you haven't read the first two, read this one, it's more than worth it ;)

The Whalesong trilogy came under my radar following my deep fascination with whales following some random searching for anything related either fact or fiction. I read some reviews of this set of fictionalised books and just had to track them down. They were originally published in 1981. I managed to purchase the first two books and was delighted to find this one ..the final book in the set at EliteDigital UK. Robert Siegel’s imagination and story telling is riveting bearing in mind that you are virtually inside the mind of a Humpback whale...powerful innovative and utterly enthralling. I adore this trilogy and was hooked from reading the first pages. Books are one of my passions and this wonderful trilogy has a special place in my little library.
