Monster: A Terrifying True Story of Survival at Sea
In June of 1941, at the height of World War II, something ancient and terrifying surfaced in the Pacific...
On the verge of abandoning his life in Los Angeles, brash arms dealer William Curtis is given the chance for the biggest score of his career. What he has to do is simple: deliver arms smuggled out of Germany to the British aboard a passenger liner, the SS Britannia. But when a German Raider destroys the vessel, Will must fight for his life on the open ocean. And the elements are not his only worry.
Those that survived in lifeboats are silently and inexplicably disappearing every night, and Will comes to the horrific conclusion that something is stalking them.
Based on true events.

Simple and effective storytelling!
I thought that the story would jump suddenly to a different theme, frustrating my desire to remain with the original characters. It stayed the course, finishing the tale of the shipwreck, fully developing the small cast and their motivations. Great job!

This author is a true writer
In a genre that is full of pulp I come across Shigeru Brody. The books are well written, well paced and fun. The characters, for the part, are believe and the giant squid was great. So 👍 Mr Brody long may you write. Oh, one more thing: Only 2 typos, surely a record.
