Ocean is Everyone's But It Is Not Yours

The sixth short novella or long short story in Dave Eggers's The Forgetters series.

Aurora Mahoney runs one of three whale-watching businesses on the Monterey coast. It's a life of great beauty, wonder and camaraderie, but after one of her fellow captains retires, a new, and decidedly different, sort of captain takes his place. What had been a simple and charmed life is clouded by a sinister, and yet aloof, new force on the waterfront. This is a page-turning examination of what makes a paradise, and how easily one human can destroy it.
