Chronicle To Books Extinct
Charles Wilson has received the highest praise from authors such as John Grisham and from reviewers, including being termed "Wizard Plotter" by the Los Angeles Times. Now, he has created his most chilling story yet—a fast-paced thriller so realistic it will take your breath away and keep you riveted to the page.From the Gulf of Mexico's warm shallow waters ... to the deepest parts of the Pacific ... terror comes to the surface...
Six-year-old Paul Haines watches as two older boys dive into a coastal river ... and don't come up. His mother, Carolyn, a charter boat captain on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, finds herself embroiled in the tragedy to an extent she could never have imagined.
Carolyn joins the marine biologist Alan Freeman in the hunt for a creature that is terrorizing the waters along the Gulf Coast. But neither of them could have envisioned exactly what kind of danger they are facing.
Yet one man, Admiral Vandiver, does know what this creature is, and how it has come into the shallows. And his secret obsession with it will force him, as well as Paul, Carolyn and Alan, into a race against time ... and a race toward death.

I loved this book! Couldn't put it down. I really want to believe these sharks are still with us some how and this author throws in the intelligence theory to back it up. A winner in my book club of shark fans!WOW WONDERFUL HORROR STORYI liked the story. It kept you attention and sent chills down your spine. I should get this book and read it. You might never go back in the water again. READ THIS.
What should you put into your shark novel? Well, sharks, for one thing. Wilson accomplishes that, giving us a 25-foot Great White prehistoric shark that somehow finds itself in the Mississippi River basin and causes havoc.Another thing? Shark attacks. They don't have to be described in detail, but something needs to happen. Here, they're fairly weak, with people simply being pulled under and never resurfacing or broken surfboards being seen drifting in the water. You need a good hero. Here, you
Jaws, with a big, prehistoric shark. Bad screenplay masquerading as a bad book.
Wow! As a huge fan of shark stories, this title naturally caught my eye. And though this didnt replace my favorite shark titles, it certainly joined them a bit. It was a lot of fun to read. And all in all, this was a pretty entertaining book - similar, of course, to Steve Alten's Meg series. Despite the anatomically strange cover, the book felt very well researched. And it was certainly entertaining, and exciting. And the book included references to all four of the Jaws films, for a little bit
This book was a serious letdown. I was told that it was different from other books in the giant shark killing people genre. But its not. It is exactly the same as every other book on the subject out there, but with even more confusion and irritation.Let me start off with a bit of a rant. I NEVER EVER EEEEVVVVVEEERR want to see any of the following in a monster megalodon shark killing people book/movie again:Read the rest of this review at Written Among the Stars
If you like Jaws then this is a good book for you. The action doesn't stop.
