Chax: A Dolphin's Song

More about the book

The narrative centers around Chax, a dolphin leader in the Gulf of Mexico, whose heroic past involves saving men from sharks. His story is woven into the pod's song, a tradition that connects generations of dolphins. As Chax navigates his role, he is supported by young dolphin Popper and marine biologist Kimberly Barone, who studies the ocean's challenges, alongside Captain Pete Gordon. The plot intertwines their lives with a Navy submarine crew and a morally ambiguous character, Claiborne Chandler, exploring themes of heroism, nature, and the deep connection between dolphins and humans.
