About this listen

A space yarn, with teeth.

It's the year 2124. Twenty years have passed since terraformers crossed the galaxy to find a new home on Centauri Prime.

One by one, the human colonies have been taken over by Earth corporations. Only the settlement of Kinship remains untouched by galactic credit.

By using the anticoagulant and antibacterial properties of shark skin tissue, Hank Cranford hopes to manufacture a vaccine that will enable long-term survival in the strange waters and atmosphere, and he hopes also to finally escape Earth's clutches and lead his colony into a new world.

Captain Banyard, a seasoned smuggler, crosses space with a precious and unusual cargo. Enormous tanks in the hold of the Bayonet store a variety of sharks that are to be delivered to the domed habitat.

When one of the Earth sharks escapes from captivity, blood is spilled, lives are lost, and a new breed of shark is spawned.

Welcome to Centauri Prime, an aquatic paradise - at least that's what it says in the brochure!

This is a great little story about sharks in space. Now that sounds like a crazy idea, but the author has done a very clever job of pulling this off, with suspense and thrills all the way through the story. Just like his previous books on sharks, namely Sharc and the sequel Sharc Bait, the author really knows his stuff with every detail is so vivid it's like you are there with the heroes and villains of the tale. The book is narrated very well and you get a great sense of feeling and suspense and just like Game of Thrones you never know who is going to make it until the end.

A tale about sharks in space, its genius.
