Default Repellent enough?

"Thar she blows!"
If these words fill you with the irresistible urge to sail off in pursuit of the great leviathan, this is the book for you! With a genius for meticulous detail, the author re-creates, in little more than 600 pages, the squalor, the terror, the tedium, of an actual whaling voyage. Enjoy the thrill of piercing the flesh, of witnessing the death throes, of watching the sea turn red with the blood of the fierce behemoth! Wade knee-deep in blood and gore, gag on the stench of burning flesh, as you stir the boiling blubber in the great trypots! In this era of "whale watches," of ecological awareness, of international bans on whaling, it's hardly possible to experience first-hand -- short of signing onto a Japanese whaling fleet -- the lost art of hunting down these mighty monsters of the deep. This book is the next best thing.
