The Day Of The Dolphin

Description for THE DAY OF THE DOLPHIN by Robert Merle:

Against the cool, precise backdrop of a government-sponsored laboratory in Florida, THE DAY OF THE DOLPHIN unfolds the drama of a brilliant and charismatic scientist on the brink of a world-shaking discover. Intent upon his private dream he is unaware that he, his laboratory, and his accomplishments are pawns in a savage game of espionage and nuclear terror.

THE DAY OF THE DOLPHIN is a novel of man's first successful attempt to communicate with another species. It is much more than a chilling suspense thriller. It is a haunting and powerful portrayal of humans and dolphins, caught in the net of man's mindless and violent thrust toward his own extinction.
