WHY ARE THE JAPANESE KILLING PROTECTED SPERM WHALES? Greenpeace discover that the Japanese research whaling fleet is killing more than the Minke whale. The send American born Canadian John Daroux Lecturer and adventurer with whale researcher Carrie Ardley to investigate. Boarding the factory ship in mid ocean, John finds irrefutable evidence, almost loses his life and becomes Carrie's lover. Together, they go to Tokyo where they evade being poisoned, survive being frozen alive and have to hide to escape the dreaded yakusa. The arrival of Greenpeace Chief Mark Stafford and his associate Petra van de Roer help to organize a counter attack that requires John and Carrie to act as bait. Desperate measures are called for as they endeavor to out wit Takeshi Fujiwara, leader of the cult, League of Blood. They are captured and tortured. Time is critical. Can they succeed? John Daroux......New Age intellectual, martial arts exponent and Reki master, he takes on the project unprepared for the tests he will experience. While he can handle the threats and challenges from the Japanese, can he handle the passion aroused by Carrie Ardley? Carrie Ardley......young, attractive Greenpeace technician, committed to saving whales, takes on this task as an adventure. Savagely attracted to John Daroux she suffers torture to find that he puts the project above her well being. Can she ever forgive him? Mark Stafford......competent, urbane Chief of Greenpeace, he takes on his biggest challenge as he confronts the League of Blood to try to unravel the reason why the giant trading company, Mosaka Corporation, is killing the protected sperm whales. Can he over come the threats? Takeshi Fujiwara......one of Japan's most powerful businessmen, and Chairman of Mosaka Corporation, he controls the lives of many. He holds a secret that dates back many centuries and the time for action is now. Can he succeed or will the persistent efforts of the foreign controlled environmental "do-gooder" Greenpeace upset his carefully prepared plans? From the high seas off New Zealand to the intricate demands in the city of Tokyo, The Minke Connection is a spellbinding saga. Matching business versus environmentalism, big versus small and expectation versus experience, John Daroux must use all his wits and knowledge to save the killing of the sperm whales.
