Sea Monsters: A Terrifying True Story of Survival at Sea (The Mystery of the Seas and the Nightmare of Sailors) - Paperback

by Eduardo Wilson (Author)

The true story of a deeply murderous intent that lurked menacingly beneath the waves during world war two. The torpedoes strike explosively and nine thousand people die - five thousand of them are just defenceless children. Another ship founders after being attacked by a brutal submarine commander and the ship's crew and passengers are used in a murderous kind of blood-sport. Merchant seamen are savagely machine-gunned in the water, callously slaughtered with hand-grenades or simply left to the circling sharks.

Inside monsters & marine mysteries you will find:

• Research on mysterious land cryptids like sasquatch as well as deep-sea life
• More about sharks - is megalodon alive or is something even nastier out there?
• Compelling images backed by scientific evidence
• Interviews with eyewitnesses and much more

If you're avoiding fiends that swim with fins, the wagon trail is where you'll fit in! Scaly beasts from the deep try to find a home among the tumbleweeds and desert ranches of the old west. Intense sunshine, sneaky bandits, and angry farmers make it difficult for the monsters to feel welcome, but the locals soon accept the lonesome creatures and throw a shindig in their honor. Whimsical rhymes over thirty full-color illustrations explain why there are no sea monsters in the wild west!
