Whales' Angels is corporate-exec-turned-author Paul Mila's second novel. Featuring the husband-and-wife team of Joe Manetta and Terry Hunter, Whales' Angels details the couple's battles with nasty whalers and other bad guys. While simply trying to be good people protecting humpback whales, Manetta and Hunter are inadvertently drawn into the seamy underbelly of international politics, intrigue, and murder.

The fictional novel actually parallels recent non-fiction events. Specifically, the book's heroes work to halt a conspiracy led by Japan, Iceland, Finland, and Norway, as those nations attempt to overturn the International Whaling Commission's ban on whaling. Interestingly, Mila claims that his experience freediving with humpbacks inspired the story, which he hopes will increase efforts to save whales.

With the action taking place from the Caribbean to the North Atlantic, Mila's yarn sounds like a Hollywood film waiting to happen. Until it's on the big screen, however, Whales' Angels is available from Author House and Amazon. From the reviews ("a solid plot, intriguing characters and a realistic depiction of scuba diving and marine creatures"), it sounds like it's worth picking up for your next dive trip.
