In a hauntingly
beautiful novel, author Patricia Cori knows how to tell a story,
raise an important and vital environmental concern, and keep the
reader’s heart pumping with excitement, intrigue and suspense.
The Emissary is an “I can’t put this down” story that touches
the soul and captivates the mind with a unique plot and unexpected
twists - from the opening chapters to its conclusion.
Almost
simultaneously, three global events occur. While hundreds of
blackbirds mysteriously drop out of the sky in Los Angeles, tens of
thousands of dead fish cover the beaches in Maine, and 150 whales and
dolphins find their way to shore in New Zealand where they lie dead
or are dying on the beach.
Enter Jamie Hastings, renowned
psychic researcher whose deep-soul connection with the dying whales
brings her to the attention of USOIL, a Texas-based oil company and
its CEO, Mat Anderson. Before she knows it, Jamie finds herself on
board a USOIL ship with a cast of characters who range from
infuriating to mystifying to charming to villainous, and a darling
dog named Fin whose love for and interaction with whales transcends
human understanding. Jamie is on a mission against evil in a
way that both surprises and disturbs. Could a secret government
be plotting to silence the music of the whales and dolphins of the
oceans off the waters of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada while
most of the world is unaware or chooses to ignore the signs?
Terrifying possibility.
Attention to detail (vis a vis marine
knowledge), passion (about and for Nature’s ocean life, especially
whales and dolphins), and an ability to weave catastrophic events and
conservationism (with hints of espionage, subterfuge and innocence)
are the marks of an author who knows how to write well and a book
that is an important read. Patricia Cori is such an author.
The Emissary is such a book.
The Emissary speaks to the
soul of Planet Earth in a unique way: via a compelling narrative
whose primary theme is the ongoing destruction of the earth’s
oceans which would silence the music of whales and dolphins (higher
consciousness communication) and never begin to be heard and
understood.
In development to become a motion picture, the
book/movie brings creatures-of-the-deep and human beings together,
poignantly and captivatingly drawing attention to the existence of
souls in both ocean creatures (and dogs) who can be our sacred
teachers … if we let them.
Unique in its ability to
both educate and entertain - challenge and intrigue - disturb and
invite response, this book is not only a “cannot put down” book,
it is a book whose story and message continue to haunt … and compel
this reader to action.
