Preloaded Audiobook, 2011
Current format, Preloaded Audiobook, 2011, , Available .Set on the wild, sparsely inhabited Channel Islands near Santa Barbara, this powerful novel combines pulse-pounding adventure with a richly humane tale about the dominion we try to exert over the natural world. Alma Boyd Takesue, a National Park Service biologist, is leading the efforts to save the islands endangered creatures from invasive species, which she believes must be eliminated. Dave LaJoy, a dreadlocked local businessman, is fiercely opposed to the killing of any species and will do anything to stop it. The conflict plays out in a series of escalating scenes in which the characters violently confront one another. In dramatizing this collision between environmental protectors and animal rights activists, Boyle examines a vital question of our time: Who has the right of possession of the land, waters, and very lives of all the creatures who share this planet?
