註釋Saving the Whales is the first in the series of the adventures of Bwana Doc, international environmental pirate, the man that does what needs to be done to stop the destruction of the planet. Protests and laws haven't worked--the devastation of the Earth by man is continuing unchecked, someone has to act--that man is Bwana Doc.Whales are being killed in the Antarctic by a newly invigorated whaling campaign. They say it¿s all for science, but the Japanese are killing whales just to sell their meat in the protein-starved markets of Asia. The Yoshinu Maru, the Japanese whaling flagship is killing these gentle giants as fast as she can. Despite harassment from Oceanwarriors, a radical international environmental organization, the killing seems likely to continue as it has for many years.Outraged by a graphic video of a whale¿s capture and killing, the international environmental pirate N**** N******* , known as Bwana Doc, vows to stop commercial whaling for good. Funded by his vast wealth and aided by his loyal confederates, Wan Fu, Mr. G and Homeless Pete, he hatches a daring plot to stop the senseless slaughter. But when real pirates, Interpol, the French perfume industry and the U.S. Navy get involved, the whole affair becomes a lot more complicated. Saving the Whales is a first in a series of high environmental adventures about one man¿s quest to right the wrongs against the Earth and her creatures. Weaving the history of whaling in with the story, it¿s a non stop tour de force of environmental action in the Antarctic. Bwana Doc is James Bond, Bruce Wayne, the Monkey Wrench Gang and Captain Morgan, all rolled into one!
