Summary

Orca - the killer whale - is one of the most intelligent creatures in the universe. He hunts in packs, like a wolf. Incredibly, he is the only animal other than man who kills for revenge. He has one mate, and if she is harmed by man, he will hunt down that person with a relentless, terrible vengeance -across seas, across time, across all obstacles.

Obnoxious anti hero

I remember reading a story about a killer whale when I was little, so when I found this I thought I'd enjoy it. To an extent I did, and the story is quite good, but the main character really is annoying. I got more and more frustrated as he kept swaying from actually seeming likeable to the next second being cold hearted and egotistical...the other characters were more interesting, but I think they all lacked substance.

A good seafaring romp for Jaws fans

Would you listen to Orca again? Why?

Yes. It certainly wasn’t a boring listen. Entertaining and a good companion to the old movie.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the man vs beast aspects plus the revenge themes. It was more mature than the film and a bit more believable. (A bit)

Have you listened to any of Mark Moseley’s other performances? How does this one compare?

First time I encountered this narrator. He gave a great performance.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The ending was actually quite profound.

Any additional comments?

Fans of the film will definitely enjoy it.
