"GRAVITY meets 127 HOURS at sea in Daniel Kraus 's astounding new book Whalefall. Easily one of my favorite novels of the year." —Gillian Flynn
“A crazy, and crazily enjoyable, beat-the-clock adventure story about fathers, sons, guilt and the mysteries of the sea . . . [Kraus] brings the rigor of a scientist and the sensibility of a poet to his descriptions of the undersea world.”—New York Times
