ONE of Australia’s best untold, true stories is about to be released, with author, David James retelling a story of ages between man and whale.
Inspired by a true story that heralds from the New South Wales coastal town of Eden and Twofold Bay, Calling of the Killers takes readers on a journey inspired by the true story of Old Tom and his pod of orcas where a profound connection is at the heart of a gripping tale of tradition, betrayal and redemption.
David said, “This true tale is one that I cannot believe isn’t on-screen. Three generations of the Davidson family, who were one of the first on-shore whaling stations in Australia, were given an insight into a tradition that had run within the Indigenous Thaua people.
“I visited the Eden Killer Whale Museum and learned the true story of Old Tom and his pod, the Indigenous connection with spirit and the whales and the story of the ancient ‘Law of the Tongue.’
“It is truly an inspirational true story. I couldn’t stop thinking about it after leaving the museum and decided this tale needs to be told,” David said.
The newest novel from David James follows the journey of George Ericson, a rugged whaler, and the spirited Sandra Galli, who find love amidst the turbulent waters of Twofold Bay. Their bond is tested when Jim Logan, a ruthless rival, threatens the delicate equilibrium between man and orca, especially the enigmatic Old Tom.
Infused with mystery and intrigue, this tale of courage and sacrifice culminates in a breathtaking showdown that will leave you spellbound, forever changed by the timeless lessons of love, loyalty, and the enduring bond between man and whale.
“I am hoping that those who live in Eden and the relatives of those who were a part of this amazing true story will have the chance to relive one of the country’s incredible true stories of the whaling industry and how the connections that bind us all are so impressive,” David said.
