Summary: Hunger will have you on the edge of your seat.
Review: A pack of genetically altered Mako sharks escapes into the Florida Keys and wreak havoc, eating everyone and everything in their path. This is a really good read and begs to be made into a movie. And it was, sort of. The movie Deep Blue Sea (which I liked quite a bit more than the author of this book) "borrowed" plot elements from this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WHAT DEEP BLUE SEA COULD HAVE BEEN
Review: A squad of genetically engineered mako sharks escape from their holding pen and turn the seas red with their insatiable wrath. Sound familiar? Yes, it's the same plot as the acceptable "Deep Blue Sea," but handled years earlier and far more adroitley by novelist William R. Dantz. Dantz's characters breathe with realism and the electric prose makes his mako's jump off the page at you. Solid, unheralded page-turner compares favorably to Peter Benchley's "Jaws" and definitely deserves to be back in print. Marred only slightly by a subtle left-wing subtext. Exciting, colorful thriller with a heart. Recommended to fans of undersea thrillers, suspense stories, or anyone who could use a quick but satisfying read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who wants to give me this book?
Review: I used to have a copy but Michael Stephen Houck of casper wyoming took it and lost it. What a chump.

I would love to read this book. Unfortunatly I dont want to go anywhere to look for it. If you have a copy of this book, please send it to me. You probably owe money anyway, and in ten years you won't care about it anyway, but I will. Have a nice day on me.

Summary: A great Shark read.
Review: I was glad to see the author's comment here on his book. I read this about a year before "Deep Blue Sea" came out and was amazed that no credit was given to this book. The story lines are very similar. I'd rate this book right along side Alten's MEG series for suspense, action, and a believable story. I feel it was much more believable than Wilson's Extinct as well. If you can find this book, it's worth picking up.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Highly entertaining read
Review: I'm a huge fan of shark novels, and on a recent jaunt to a used bookstore I found a copy of this book, so I couldn't wait to get home and read it. Dantz(Rodman Philbrick) writes descriptive passages that makes you feel like your actually there in the Florida Keys. The characters are well-written, the action scenes are tense and the sharks are menacing. The writers of Deep Blue Sea shamelessly pilfered the story elements but one can only hope Hollywood has the insight to give this book its due. I highly recommend it and rank it amongst the greats like Jaws by Peter Benchley and Extinct by Charles Wilson.

Summary: An awesome read!
Review: I've probably read this book at least half a dozen times...it's a new spin on the classic "killer shark goes crazy and eats coeds left and right until our hero saves the day and kills it" idea. Don't get me wrong, I love "Jaws", but it's had so many ripoff's it's not even funny anymore. "Hunger"'s got new ideas, new settings, new character-types, and it's just fresh. Not to mention that the writing style is fluid, and highly enjoyable. The best shark-fiction I've ever read; and I'm getting three copies of it from Amazon for my family this christmas.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Deep Blue Read
Review: This book appeared years before the unofficial movie version and it is far superior. A great thriller and a wonderful companion piece to JAWS or BEAST. Superior to both MEG and WHITE SHARK (aka CREATURE). Take it to the beach, but read it only AFTER you go swimming.
