Obligated Whisper

With a Foreword by Captain Paul Watson, Founder of Sea Shepherd and The Captain Paul Watson Foundation and Co-founder of Greenpeace and an Afterword by Paul Gunter, Director, The Reactor Oversight Project, Beyond Nuclear. When an underground nuclear test in the late 1980s blasts away the last vestiges of their secret homes, the Iffs (known for centuries to indigenous tribes as 'the little people') are forced to confront the atomic radiation fallout and emerge. Hidden for centuries, they seek new refuge in unheard of beauty further south in Carlsbad, New Mexico's glorious caverns and caves. But new dangers lay ahead. They are snap-shotted, filmed and stalked. The populace is convinced they are alien invaders from another galaxy determined to take over the world. Jokes are made on late night talk shows. They must make new allies to avoid modern man's eternal conquest for nuclear domination, poison and power. + + + Ever since 1945, the atomic tests, explosions and power plant leaks, along with their near and realized calamitous catastrophes, have awakened a most unexpected sound from the depths of New Mexico. A mere whisper. And yet this unusual encounter might soon send a clear message to the nuclear power industry: not every creature on this planet can be fooled.
