Synopsis"Makes the shark from "Jaws" look like a pet goldfish . . ." USA Weekend Straight from the cutting edge of science and the logs of ancient mariners comes an immense horror -- a creature that rises up from the well of an ocean gone mad with an insatiable hunger and an endless lust to kill. One man leads a harrowing struggle to defeat the beast amid a threatened Bermuda paradise. His name is Whip Darling, a down-and-out sea dog who doesn't know where he'll get his next meal -- or whether it will get him first. From the Paperback edition.
Beast is actually better than Jaws. The main characters are more compelling than those in Jaws. You care about their situation. The entire story flows at a good pace. The beast...well you wouldn't want to mee it on or under the water. It is a real page turner. I have read it at least six time. I am passing this book on to one of my grandchildren. He like me loves monster stories.
