Description
Book SynopsisThis novel, the result of extensive research by the author, expands the Jaws universe, and adds crucial backstory that enhances the experience of watching what many still consider to be the greatest movie ever made.
Trade Review'This book is a sparkling read of trauma, tragedy, stoic resilience and breathless high adventure. Staying faithful to the film's universe, the author expands the scope of Quint's backstory with great skill, imagination and brio. Perhaps this book's biggest achievement from a pure story perspective (in the same way that James Cameron achieved with Titanic) is in its ability to hold the reader in rapt attention, despite already knowing many of the crucial plot points.' -- Adrian McKenna, author of Eddie Cochran - A Fast Moving Beat Show
'You have written a five-star book. The thing that is important to me is where that book fits on the bookshelf. Take a look at any library, this book belongs right next to The Old Man and the Sea, Moby Dick, Jack London's seafaring novels.' -- Marty Milner, Construction Foreman on Jaws (1975)
'Offering a meticulous understanding of the character (author Dacko is host of The Jaws Obsession podcast), this (back)story is awash with gripping trauma and tension. It also enriches the original(s) via some valuable, respectful context.' -- Total Film Magazine, Christmas 2023
