Story
A series of violent shark attacks off the shores of northern California draw the attention of pessimistic Detective Luke Jansen. Despite reports of shark sightings, the injuries are more reminiscent of a chainsaw-wielding maniac. Things get stranger when marine biologist Elise Sheldon encounters the creature. Exhausted and traumatized, her claims that the beast is a Helicoprion are dismissed. With little help from the police department, Luke and Elise form an unlikely alliance that puts them face-to-face with a violent man-eating shark, and its terrifying reason for existing.

A winter storm has buried North Dakota in snow and ice. With accidents being reported across the region, Deputy Ron Weller must patrol along the main road through a normally tranquil forest in Beeman County. The night grows menacing as he discovers vehicles that have been run off the road, their drivers mysteriously missing. Strange tracks lead through a region of thick forest known as Devil's Rock. There, Weller makes a horrifying discovery. A monster has awakened. Its hunger is insatiable, and its ferocity has no limits.

Publisher's Summary
In the aftermath of a hurricane, a series of strange events plague the coastal waters off Florida. People go into the water and never return. Corpses of killer whales drift ashore, ravaged from enormous bite marks. A fishing trawler is found adrift, with a mysterious gash in its hull.
Transferred to the coastal town of Merit, police officer Leonard Riker uncovers the horrible reality of an enormous thresher shark lurking off the coast. Forty feet in length, it has taken a territorial claim to the waters near the town harbor. Armed with three-inch teeth, a scythe-like caudal fin, and unmatched aggression, the beast seeks to kill anything sharing the waters.

WHAT A BRILLIANT SURPRISE!
I want to begin with the fact that even when I love the book, I normally do NOT write a full review! However, I could not stay silent about this!! I LOVE books like this!!
When I was much younger and the book “Meg” first came to the store shelves, I became addicted to this type of book. I honestly gave up on finding any other books that were like “Meg”, the “Loch” by Steve Alten, or like “Below” and “What Lurks Beneath” by Bryan Lockwood.
These books, while fiction, make you think that it actually COULD BE possible for these creatures to exist! These are the best type, in my opinion, and sadly, not every author can make the reader believe it the potential “what if’s”.
To my extreme surprise, Michael Cole and the “Thresher” lives up to Steve Alten, Ryan Lockwood, as well as Greg Beck with “Fathomless”, Paul E. Cooley with “The Black” series! Michael Cole was brilliant writing this book and Matt Godfrey remains one of my favorite narrators! Godfrey even pronounces the scientific terminology correctly! This book is worth the read and in listening!

A rare unable to finish title.
The story might have had some potential. But it's poorly executed. The characters are bland. The situations are cookie cutter. The dialogue is cheesy. And every aspect is highly predictable. The performance doesn't help much either, it's pretty sub-par. I tried to give it a chance I really did but with 4 hours to go I just couldn't do it anymore.

Bloody Brilliant!
What a story! I was a little concerned in the first minute or 2 that it would be too vanilla. Just another giant animal story, and it is... but in a great way! The characters are deep and set up well, each with a rewarding back story. It has heroes, villains and anti-heros. There is a good twist and plenty of well paced action. I even got a shiver at one moment, no spoilers, but kids, boat, drone... chills!

A great shark tail!
I was running out of creature feature books on audible and decided to give Michael Cole a try and I'm glad I did! I loved this along with Megalodon Bloodbath. the creature sequences are up there with that of Steve Alten's Meg and cole succeeds where many authors in this genre fail, firstly, Making the creature a character and second, the attack sequences, which he manages to make unique and tense every time.
The performance is ok even if the reader sounds like he's going through some form of emotional distress and manages to make most of the characters sound like geriatrics, I was legitimately shocked to find the main character is only 35 after assuming he was in his late 60s for most of the book. But even with everyone sounding old and in pain he still manages to keep you engaged. Definitely looking forward to more Michael Cole. Hurry up and get his other books up audible!!

This is Jaws on steroids. Great characters of which I cared about/disliked/wanted to survive/wanted to be eaten.

Hmmmm......
Wanted to like this book, I love a creature feature but this book really does not offer anything new that has not been done better many times before. Stereotypical characters much like in a cheesy B movie, clunky dialogue and not enough shark. The story gets a little lost in the problems of the characters and where Benchley cleverly blurs the lines between who is the bigger Shark between his Great White and the greedy profiteers on the land unfortunately this is mess of “Dirty Harry” meets Jaws.

Not quite as good as Scar, but still a great book.
Michael Cole has another book, of a similar sharky theme called Scar. Of the two, Scar is my preferred story, but this should not take away from Thresher. It's still great. It's still fun, lots of crazy things happen, and there is a lot of sharky goodness.
There is no reason why you won't like this book if you like books like Jaws etc.
