Chax: A Dolphin's Song

Chax: A Dolphin's Song

Sound travels fast in water, four times faster than in the air, and so do stories. This is a story of a dolphin who heard the Speaker of Life and obeyed.

It’s no secret that dolphins are smart. They have huge brains, possess sonar capabilities that technology still can’t match, and talk to each other. They know stuff. Maybe that’s why they smile.

Sailors and swimmers in trouble have been helped by dolphins for as long as people have shared the ocean with them. Despite plenty of reasons not to like us, it seems they do. Stories about the human-dolphin relationship are found in the legends and art of antiquity. And in today’s news cycle.
Yet so much about dolphins remains a mystery, despite research conducted all over the world, for many years.

Chax: A Dolphin’s Song, is an adventure story that considers those things.
The “hero” is Chax himself, a mature bottlenose dolphin who leads a pod based in the Gulf of Mexico. With help from his friends. Chax is a superb listener. Another hero is Popper, a not-quite-mature dolphin. The reader sees and hears what they hear and see.
Or perhaps the hero is Kimberly Barone, M.S. A bright young marine biologist. Kimbie studies dolphins under the direction of a former professor. Another hero might be the former Coast Guard rescue diver who sees so much more in Kimbie Barone than the professor does.
Sonar Technician 1st Class Opie Simcox goes beyond the call of duty while serving aboard a Navy sub, operating in Chax’s neighborhood. In a way, the whole submarine is a hero, but mostly it’s Opie.
Claiborne Chandler, whose choices have led him from privilege to a lifestyle of piracy — and now murder — is no hero. Dodging responsibility has brought him to where he is. Yet even Claiborne knows dolphins are special.
Roughly a third of Chax: A Dolphin’s Song is told from the dolphin point of view. Original drawings my artist Jim Caswell alert the reader when a chapter is told from underwater, from the marine mammal perspective.
