About this listen

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 by witnesses, the injuries appear to be more reminiscent of a chainsaw-wielding maniac rather than shark bites.

Things get stranger when marine biologist Elise Sheldon encounters the creature. Exhausted and traumatized, she is quickly dismissed, after she makes the claim that the beast is a Helicoprion. Thought to be extinct, the creature wields a spiraling set of teeth that can dice anything caught in its path. Unable to convince anyone of its existence, Elise turns to Detective Jansen for assistance.

With little help from the police department, Luke and Elise form an unlikely alliance to uncover the truth. Their investigation puts them face-to-face with a violent man-eating shark, and the terrifying reason for its existence.

Very, very long winded story, winding through horror, thriller, sci-fi and drama. I enjoyed it but it was a marathon. I felt like I could’ve snipped 3 or 4 hours off the total time and still gotten the story across. Good character development, very decent narration. 4 stars because it was long enough to test the patience of a saint!

Very good but very long winded!

This is a really great action adventure story. It is a little slow to come together but when it does, it really does!! Well worth a listen.

Stick with it

l liked this, narration was good (apart from the attempt at an English accent). Sloppy science though, the author should know basic stuff like antibiotics are no good against a virus and that viruses do not lurk in DNA. Other than that, it's an enjoyable bit of escapism

Loved the story. This is a superior 'sea beast' tale of a decent length. Starts 'Jaws-like' and becomes something else. I enjoyed the narration (including dodgy accents). A highly recommended listen.
