The Godwhale

by T. J. Bass

The Godwhale by T. J. Bass was a finalist or poll selection for the 1975 Locus Award for Best Novel and the 1975 Nebula Award for Best Novel.

Rorqual Maru was her name. She was a harvester - a vast plankton rake without a crop, abandoned by Earth society when the seas died. Part whale, part ship, and well over 600 feet long, she was left to rot in the sterile ocean.
