A rarity in literature at present,, a book that really engages the reader about the eco struggle without being too preachy (not sure what's wrong with preaching on this particular topic, though) and without shying away from some of the less palatable aspects of human-too-animal exploitation and abuse
The Tourist Trail is an eco-thriller featuring an unlikely but thoroughly entertaining cast of characters—among them a whale rescuer, a penguin researcher, an FBI agent, a computer tech, and an animal-rights activist—whose lives come together in the wild and dangerous waters of the Southern Ocean. All of these characters have secrets that are slowly revealed, and the alternating points of view pull readers toward a cinematic ending.

From Midge's list on saving animals.
