White Gladis

Gladiator of the Sea

By: Tom Wheeler

Narrated by: John Potito

Icelandic waters, 1983. Gladis shines with innocence. Just two-years-old, the young killer whale learns the ropes from the pod’s matriarch—her beloved Granny. But when heartless whalers catch her brother for SeaWorld and slaughter Granny and the rest of her kin, the terrified animal flees into the unknown. Saved by a fellow orphan from a great white shark, the grieving youngster is adopted and grows in strength, intelligence, and a hunger for vengeance from the evil forces that rule the surface. But once she becomes a mother herself, a chance encounter with a caring conservationist brings Gladis face to face with a different side of the two-legged predators. Can the courageous Gladiator of the Sea prevail over a deadly bounty and discover mutual respect from a selfless human who puts her life on the line to save her? White Gladis is an emotional adventure. If you like stories of bravery, protecting nature, and breathtaking peril, then you’ll adore this thrilling tale.
