Publisher's Synopsis
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
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. Praise for 'Obligated Whisper': Another masterful tale from the mind of Gullerud! It reminds us in a Tolkein-esque way, nuclear power plants are never to be trusted, no matter how modern or how hyped up by a TED Talks' speaker. Paul Buhle

The "Obligated Whisper" is a novel being introduced to the world this year. It will be an epic three volume story. This book is an introduction to a very real world being faced by actual events which have left their imprint upon the direction we're all headed towards at warp speed. Through fictional characters, the depths of these real and dangerous happenings will occur almost in chronological order.
Someday soon the "Obligated Whisper" which initially sounded during that early morning test at Trinity Site, in July of 1945, on the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, will be heard again, this time by all. When it becomes perceptible and undeniable, all will hear the sound which will grow as loud as rolling thunder.
"Obligated Whisper", the series, as created by Peter is unique in that it touches all ages. His message throughout the process is timely, interesting and thoughtful. It is a telling statement. Rufina Maria Laws
