Description for FLUKE: OR, I KNOW WHY THE WINGED WHALE SINGS by Christopher Moore: Just why do humpback whales sing? That's the question that has marine behavioral biologist Nate Q uinn and his crew poking, charting, recording, and photographing very big, wet, gray marine mammals. Until the extraordinary day when a whale lifts its tail into the air to display a cryptic message spelled out in foot-high letters: Bite me.Trouble is, Nate's beginning to wonder if he hasn't spent just a little too much time in the sun. 'Cause no one else on his team saw a thing--not his longtime partner, Clay Demodocus; not their saucy young research assistant; not even the spliff-puffing white-boy Rastaman Kona (ne Preston Applebaum). But later, when a roll of film returns from the lab missing the crucial tail shot--and his research facility is trashed--Nate realizes something very fishy indeed is going on. Show more
