- Synopsis
- Available for the first time as an eBook, here is the classic suspense novel of shark vs. man that inspired the blockbuster Steven Spielberg movie. This edition of Jaws contains bonus content from Peter Benchley's archives, including the original typed title page for the novel, the author's notes on the script for the movie adaptation, and two articles written on the twenty-fifth and thirtieth anniversaries of the release of the film. It's out there in the water . . . waiting. Nature's most relentless predator. It fears nothing. It attacks anything. It devours everything. The seaside community of Amity is at its mercy. A small-town police chief, a marine biologist, and a modern-day Ahab must try to stop it. But they are only three men . . . alone against the Great White Death. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Powerful . . . [Benchley's] story grabs you at once."--The New York Times Book Review "A tightly written, tautly paced study of terror . . . that still makes us tingle."--The Washington Post "Relentless terror . . . You'd better steel yourself for this one. It isn't a tale for the faint of heart."--The Philadelphia Inquirer "Pure engrossment from the very opening . . . a fine story told with style, class, and a splendid feeling for suspense."--Chicago Sun-Times
