A nazi experiment, put together during the war falls to the bottom of the sea. Decades later it is found.... and all hell breaks loose.
Benchley follows the Jaws/Beast theme with a sci fi twist.
As usual with his work the pages fly by. My only problem with the book
I believe Benchley may have been seriously ill and at the end of his life, maybe he just wanted to use this novel to get a point across....
Expect numerous killings and plenty of well researched facts. Def worth a read, but try Beast first.
