Orca World - by Peter Roy Clements (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

If humans were to go extinct what would follow? Orcas are the ocean's top predator and as the land is essentially empty they evolve to come on land. Many orcas believe they are the first sentient species on the land but one astute orca has other ideas. He has exceptional sonar abilities and can see the

outline of a bunker left by the last human on earth. What will he find there? How will these orcas, who believe they are the first sentients on earth, handle this new information?

Review Quotes

"The novella touches on many issues relevant to the current culture discourse, including environmental degradation, the longevity of human achievement, and the clash between science and religious fundamentalism. A quick, thought-provoking story of a distant post-human future."

"The story is highly imaginative and genuinely entertaining. The odd practicality of the orca future is charming."
