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.

A+

Very interesting story that keeps you wanting to continue. Characters are well thought out and interact great together. I found myself rooting for some characters and wishing death on others, which is the point in stories. Also the ending was great and hope there will be another.

AMAZING A MUST READ!!!!!

This book had my son staying up late to read it he couldn’t put it down! It’s not just another jaws but like a cousin of the novel. This book contains horror and action around every corner, the book does however the book does contain some language that I got a little worried about. Other than that the book is amazing

REALLY Good!

Fans of Jaws will notice many similarities, but this story also has some influence from Moby Dick.

The story is very detailed in the description of the shark, how it swims, resting patterns, etc, etc. I do not enjoy stories that involve animal cruelty and warning, there are a few times when this happens but it’s only to illustrate man’s greed. If you’ve ever watched any National
Geographic documentary about ocean life and apex predator behavior, then you won’t be surprised about some of the book, but it’s still hard to listen to.

This book is well paced and narrated. Very action packed and vibrant. Loved this book!

Outstanding character development.

I enjoyed this book a great deal. Character development very good. The narrator sounded like Clint Eastwood, which was great. A well done Dirty Harry clone.

Hmm

The book showed signs of being good. But you can pretty much guess what will happen next not alot of surprises.

A Great Creature Feature

This book will not win any prizes but if you are looking for a man vs monster book that is shallow and hits all the tropes, then this book will satisfy.

fits into the Jaws trope.

I really liked the book and it should appeal to Jaws fans. Would of liked more fishing action.

Great from start to finish

I enjoyed the story and the narration. I was entertained the whole time. The characters were easy too root for and the villains were easy to dislike. I would recommend this book to anyone.
