  1. 1. North Sun

    North Sun follows the whaleship Esther’s 1878 voyage from New Bedford toward the Chukchi Sea. As Captain Arnold Lovejoy and his crew hunt northern waters, their journey grows increasingly brutal, uncanny, and mythic. Part sea‑voyage adventure and part allegory, the novel explores endurance and the human and environmental costs of industrial whaling.
