Reviews"A crazy, and crazily enjoyable, beat-the-clock adventure story about fathers, sons, guilt and the mysteries of the sea . . . [Kraus] brings the rigor of a scientist and the sensibility of a poet to his descriptions of the undersea world." --New York Times "This gripping sci-fi thriller from bestseller Kraus takes readers quite literally into the belly of the beast [...] Kraus provides solid nautical science alongside the stretchy coincidences that fuel Jay's survival. Just on the brink of horror fiction, especially for the claustrophobic, Kraus's deep-sea thrill ride will have readers on the edges of their seats." --Publishers Weekly "A moving character study disguised as a riveting, cinematic survival thriller...The pacing is relentless, the awe astounding, and the tension palpably constricting, even as Kraus takes time to provide necessary details both scientific and visceral."-- Booklist, starred review "This hard sci-fi thriller is full of cinematic and wild suspense and would be great for fans of Andy Weir."-- Library Journal, starred review "Picture Jack London, but with a more nuanced handling of broken, damaged men."-- Chicago Tribune "One of the most intense -- and moving -- stories that will grace the bookstores in 2023...what Daniel Kraus has created here is something that can't be quantified." --Cemetery Dance "An absolute triumph, a masterpiece of suspense, emotion, and flat-out terror...It's one of this year's can't-miss books, and a journey you won't soon forget." --Paste Magazine, "A crazy, and crazily enjoyable, beat-the-clock adventure story about fathers, sons, guilt and the mysteries of the sea . . . [Kraus] brings the rigor of a scientist and the sensibility of a poet to his descriptions of the undersea world." --New York Times "This gripping sci-fi thriller from bestseller Kraus takes readers quite literally into the belly of the beast [...] Kraus provides solid nautical science alongside the stretchy coincidences that fuel Jay's survival.

There is nothing else quite like Whalefall." --New Scientist, Brave, bold, epic, propulsive. Whalefall is a deeply moving thriller that holds a planet's worth of hope in the pit of its stomach.

SynopsisThe Martian meets 127 Hours in this "smart, surreal, and powerfully humane" (Owen King, New York Times bestselling author) thriller about a scuba diver who's been swallowed by an eighty-foot, sixty-ton sperm whale and has only one hour to escape before his oxygen runs out., A USA TODAY BESTSELLER Named a Best Book of 2023 by Book Riot , Shelf Awareness , and NPR The Martian meets 127 Hours in this "astoundingly great" (Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author) and scientifically accurate thriller about a scuba diver who's been swallowed by an eighty-foot, sixty-ton sperm whale and has only one hour to escape before his oxygen runs out. Jay Gardiner has given himself a fool's errand--to find the remains of his deceased father in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Monastery Beach. He knows it's a long shot, but Jay feels it's the only way for him to lift the weight of guilt he has carried since his dad's death by suicide the previous year. The dive begins well enough, but the sudden appearance of a giant squid puts Jay in very real jeopardy, made infinitely worse by the arrival of a sperm whale looking to feed. Suddenly, Jay is caught in the squid's tentacles and drawn into the whale's mouth where he is pulled into the first of its four stomachs. He quickly realizes he has only one hour before his oxygen tanks run out--one hour to defeat his demons and escape the belly of a whale. Suspenseful and cinematic, Whalefall is an "powerfully humane" (Owen King, New York Times bestselling author) thriller about a young man who has given up on life...only to find a reason to live in the most dangerous and unlikely of places.
