The world under the sea is as disparate and conflicted as the human race that once walked the land. Warring factions make tenuous alliances and fight for their right to remain in this new world. The whale Tenby searches for the last remaining humans, but do any remain? And if they do, will he survive long enough to find them?
I’ll be honest, the idea of a post apocalyptic science fiction novel written from the point of sealife didn’t inspire. That said I enjoyed the story, it makes a nice change to have major characters that are not human.
The story depicts an undersea animal society run by animals which are uncannily human-like in some places. One example of this anthropomorphism is a library where the whales store their documents. Wei goes to great lengths to details the nature of whale language and documentation in order to prevent this images becoming comical and largely succeeds. The didacticism was a little jarring with its message about the dangers of environmental change but not so much that it impacted on my enjoyment of the story. The ending leaves a little to be desired, but the idea of the whole story makes up for that

Undersea Apocalypse Everyone is familiar with the kind of damage an apocalypse can do to human life and the Earth in general, but has anyone ever wondered what kind of effect it would have on life under the sea? The Whale Kingdom Quest by Ming Wei explores the conflicts surrounding sea life that managed to survive the apocalypse. The underwater world under is just as chaotic as it is for the humans on land. There are several factions fighting to stay alive in this new aquatic realm. The story follows a whale named Tenby who is searching for any surviving humans. The only question is where there are any humans left and whether Tenby will live long enough to find them. I’d be very curious to see what kind of apocalypse the book refers to and how it affects life under the sea, particularly if there are zombies involved, as there might be infected sharks, dolphins and other marine featured as hostiles. Maybe Tenby will be the Rick Grimes of the Atlantic Ocean. The Whale Kingdom Quest was released on November 28.
