The first volume, Transformation (0741418673, $11.95), finds a dolphin who has been rescued from being stranded on a beach experiencing an intense epiphany and vowing to remedy ills affecting dolphins. Released by his rescuers back into the ocean, he meets two other dolphins and they join him in his odyssey. The three become dolphin rebels as their unorthodox association and strange ideas exile them from the mainstream of structured, traditional dolphin society. The three rebels meet a reconnaissance party of aliens seeking to hide from their own enemies. With advanced technology and limited assistance, the aliens form a bond with the dolphins. They help the dolphins undergo a unique transformation including the ability to communicate telepathically. The dolphins then go on to encounter their most dangerous adversary -- humans. The second volume, Impossible Dreams (0741418681, $13.95), finds the dolphins walking on land as "finmen" where they meet humans and undergo still another transformation, to the awe of scientists and create a media sensation. They are exploited and admired, but determined to purse their ultimate goals and in the process, find obstacles blacking their quest including personal depression, rebellion, and strains upon their dolphin unity. The third volume, Hannibal Invades Washington (074141869X, $13.950), finds the finmen quietly gather allies, forming an alliance to demonstrate their concerns, being frustrated with the limits of a nonviolent approach, getting caught in a crossfire between human zealots, corporate interests, and governmental agencies that don't share the dolphins’ environmental ideals. With the FBI and the CIA hunting them down, can the dolphin finmen even survive, let alone accomplish their world changing mission? Writing under the pen name of Mookeeo, the author writes with creative originality, engaging imagination, and an undeniable story-teller's skill, while weaving into this outstandingly entertaining trilogy complex elements and dealing with animal rights and environmental awareness issues. |
