| Best I can think of are: Godwhale by TJ Bass I thinks. Haven't read it, but
there is a whale involved.
Startide Rising, by David Brin, intelligent dolphins,
and some of the larger cousins, killer
whales. No humpbacks or rights though...
perhaps something by S.P. Somtow seems to me that
maybe Starship and Haiku had a whale
on the cover, though then again,
maybe I'm crossing memory with Godwhale.

| You may also want to try Soundings by Hank Searls, 1981. It
deals with a male sperm whale that has become fascinated with a
Soviet submarine stuck on the bottom of the Atlantic. One of the
crew passed the time by playing classical music and the vibrations
through the hull attracted the whale. The whale is also curious
about humans in general and we get to see 'his' insights into
human beings.

Sorry, but I can only search for titles containing the word `WHALE'.
Thought they may help to jog a memory or two.........

| 1239.7 | Maybe it was this one... | QUARRY::petert | rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty | Thu Aug 25 1994 10:58 | 12 |
| Taking this from the review of a book of short stories by
Alexander Jablokov.
"A Deeper Sea," with its intelligent cetaceans, was
probably expanded into Jablokov's novel of the same name, but stands
perfectly well on its own here, and again has the non-linear narrative
that Jablokov seems to like.
This would be a fairly recent book. I've read his book, CARVE THE SKY and
liked it a lot. He's definitely an interesting writer.
