Shela

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

Shela is an ocean cowboy, genetically-engineered to live a peaceful life at sea herding tuna.  Human traffickers are intent on capturing her and selling her into the sex trade.  Their efforts to kidnap her and collect a substantial bounty leads the reader on a chaotic journey involving scheming dolphins, a bevy of misfit pirates, and the determination of Shela's friends to rescue her from terrible danger.  Everyone's life hangs in the balance as each person must decide what they are willing to sacrifice to save Shela and themselves.
