"When you read a novel about a man who is accidentally swallowed by a whale – yes, a modern version of Jonah’s tale – you probably expect strangeness and gore, and Daniel Kraus’ narrative delivers plenty of those. However, it’s the book’s wealth of scientific facts and emotional content that makes this a must-read. An enthralling, claustrophobic, action-packed thriller that is also a love letter to the ocean and a beautiful tale that explores the broken relationship between a man and his dead father, this is Kraus’ best novel to date."
