The Square-Shaped Tear

By T Arab

When marine biologist, Zaid, encounters a leather-back turtle, he names Salt, he is drawn into the life of one of Earth’s most enigmatic marine creatures.

Part experiment, part adventure, his small crew must navigate love, time and the great oceans of the world to protect this sea-giantess and her species from commercial slaughter.

The Square-Shaped Tear questions how far we will go to preserve life and if we will kill to keep it.
