Distant Echoes is the first tale in Colleen Coble’s Aloha Reef series. On the opening page, you will see Kaia Ona swimming in the turquoise waves of Hawaii alongside her dolphin, Nani, who has joined a pod in these waters. This peaceful day is soon interrupted by an explosion. A tourist boat suddenly goes up in flames. Kaia does not know what to think when she learns it was due to the testing of a missile defense system gone awry!
Lieutenant Commander Jesse Matthews has his hands full trying to clean up this mess. Jesse is amazed when he witnesses Kaia communicate with the dolphins with a whistle. When Kaia and her dolphin, Nani, are brought in to patrol the waters near the base, you will soon see Kaia and Jesse’s relationship grow to something she never imagined!
Not only do Kaia and Jesse need to discover if terrorist activity is taking place on the island, but Kaia will be confronted by her mother who left her years ago!
Hold tight for a surprising ending to this tale!
