false 6315119 1 A young, beautiful eco-terrorist, the American president's wife is determined to stop the over-hunting of whales by the Japanese, the Norwegians, and others, so she embarks on a daring plan to drive a stranded herd of blue whales from the Arctic to the opposite end of the earth—the Antarctic. Her husband, the President, has promised to let the Japanese take the blue whales in exchange for their support in a looming economic crisis. On board a hijacked whaling factory ship, the First Lady defies her husband and—with the help of the ship's captain, a recently reformed whaling pirate—confronts the Japanese fleet and threatens to sink it. This big, bold rescue adventure blends romance with a generous dose of dirty politics. 6500354 1 4 2009 Save the Whales Please total:15|5:3|4:5|3:5|2:1|1:1| 15 53 70 10 3 0 false false Mon Nov 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Oct 30 11:30:30 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 02 10:45:42 -0800 2009 1 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Apr 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 20:47:41 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 10:11:19 -0700 2009 1 The premise of the book has the First Lady, Jan, as an eco-warrier (aka "radical" environmentalist) and her husband is up for re-election.
