An NPR Best Book of 2023 “full of cinematic and wild suspense” that “would be great for fans of Andy Weir” (Library Journal starred review): Scuba diver Jay Gardiner is swallowed by a sperm whale — and only has one hour before his oxygen runs out… “Listeners will feel like they themselves are gasping for air” (AudioFile).

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 California. 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 the previous year.
