"If our Oceans die, we die"

Past weekend I read Mark Caney's volume Dolphin Way: Rise of the Guardians and it was AMAZE-Balls!

Dolphin Way: Rise of the Guardians is a piercing observation about the state of our biosphere and how our lack of response to environmental issues is touching other species.

But this is a charming coming of age story set in the sea.

The dolphins were released to Born free just in time as much longer in the pool and they would have died.

Dolphin ethos developed over zillions of centuries so they could remain flawlessly familiar with their sphere, the Ocean.


Unlike man, they have fashioned a virtually ideal civilization without feeling the need to influence their atmosphere, collect belongings or battle.

Sky, a male dolphin reluctantly finds himself wedged up in the vicious moments. To save the lives of his closest friends he will have to risk the worst retribution his clan can inflict and must decide between the two females who challenge everything he believes in.

This is a book one of those this writer created worlds so different from the world we live in.
Mark Caney is one of those novelists that blow me away! He has fashioned a whole civilization that includes an art, music, and literature, makes up a fully developed society.

As silly and soppy as it sounds, Dolphin Way was clearly written with a lot of heart and ambition. Caney is clearly enthusiastic about his book’s subject matter. In fact, part of why I loved Dolphin Way so much is that it reads exactly like a great SF novel.

Mark has clearly done a load of investigation and has completely done fairness to these bright, erudite mortals.

I one day read a comment!!!!!!!!!

That dolphins rape each other?

I had to do some investigation on the matter as surely that can be either a fact or not, it is a actually not a proved fact!!!

But A MYTH read the rest of my review, they use this type of encounters to ensure reproduction, which was developed over millions of years!




The “Dolphin Rape” Myth

Google the term “dolphin rape” and you’ll find countless references to male dolphins raping female dolphins, males raping other males, gang rape, and even dolphins raping humans.

You might even find this hoax webpage claiming that dolphins regularly kidnap swimmers and take them to a “rape cave.”

Head over to Google Scholar, however, and you will find exactly zero references to “dolphin rape” in the scientific peer-reviewed literature.

The reason for this discrepancy is quite simple: the term rape cannot be used to describe the kinds of behavior scientists have observed in dolphins

Let me explain what I observed with my studies, see look for facts before making statements

Sexual Coercion:

Sexual Coercion is a term describing a suite of behaviour’s observed most frequently in the bottlenose dolphins of Shark Bay Australia and Sarasota Bay Florida.

Individuals or groups of males use a variety of coercive tactics to increase their chances of mating with females.


SO SEE ONE THING I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE

Do not make ASSUMPTIONS if you do not have FACTS!

If we find a mutual conversation I will talk to you about it !




OK now the fun part in the dolphin society you get – Pirates, like real life dolphin pirates almost like captain Jack

Male Pirate dolphins steal female dolphins – and then hide her away from the rest of the world!

Sometimes these males begin the consort ship by herding (i.e., chasing and corralling) the female, although other times the female appears to enter the consort ship willingly. These males sometimes use aggressive behaviour to keep the female close to them and to fend off rival males, and it’s during these consort ships that mating takes place.

When I first received a request to review Dolphin Way: Rise of the Guardians I was intrigued by a book written from a dolphin's point of view that was for adults. Could go either way but I was willing to give it a try. After reading it, I'd say it is appropriate for anyone from about 16 years and up.

There are certain things that amaze me about authors. One of those is how some amazing writers can create worlds so different from the world we live in. Mark Caney is one of those authors that blows me away! He has created an entire society that includes a culture, music, stories and legends, poetry, etiquette and all else that makes up a fully developed society. That this society is underwater in the oceans we all know, and populated by dolphins, makes it all the more amazing to me. He has all the details worked out - right down to the quotes at the start of each chapter that are 'from' ancient dolphin poets, scriptures and other writings. It's a little embarrassing to admit, but about half way through the book I realised I had wandered to a place in my mind where I was accepting the story as true. Had to stop for a reality check.

The descriptive prose pulled me in until I could see the scenes of the book playing out in my mind as I read. Never once did I forget that the characters were dolphins but they were so well developed that I had my favourites and was trying hard to figure out the secrets and mysteries of the plot right along with them.

The issues of the day, in the dolphin world, revolve around the changing ocean and resultant loss of food sources. Something must be done but some dolphins have gone too far in looking for a solution. With members of the Dune Coast clan being murdered and the renegade Guardians living too close for comfort, things start to spiral out of control. Touches the Sky looks for answers and finds betrayal.

Dolphin Way: Rise of the Guardians is a pointed commentary about the state of our world and how our lack of response to environmental issues is affecting other species. But it is also a charming and involved coming of age story set in the sea. This is so far out of the box I usually choose my books from that I had no idea, when I started, that I would be in tears by the end, waiting anxiously for the next instalment (yes there's more!) and adding another book to my favourites list. I am now eagerly awaiting Dolphin Way: Captured.
