Book excerpt: I was busy swimming out my bait in a one-man life raft and was about 200 yards off the South Padre Island jetty. I had the bloody tail half of a Tarpon there in my lap as I leaned back to paddle the raft with my arms. Instant fear gripped me when I saw the big dorsal fin of a Great Hammerhead Shark slicing through the water right for me. The blood in my veins froze instantly! The shark started circling my raft about 10 or 15 feet or so from me and made about three complete circles around me. I remember his eye. His head was tilted somewhat and his eye was just above the surface, just watching me. I felt his dorsal fin scrape across my back as he dove under my raft. He was in the 10 to 11 foot size range. I remember the feeling the sheer terror. It almost freezes you in place. And I was fearful that his dorsal fin would scrape a hole in the bottom of my raft as he swam under me. Believe me that feeling of terror is a feeling that you never forget, never ever. I looked back toward the jetties and there stood Don Monroe frozen and pointing like Ahab did when he saw the white whale. I could barely hear Monroe's words, "Thaarrrrrr she blows!"

Download or read book The Great Shark Hunt written by Hunter S. Thompson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume in Hunter S. Thompson’s bestselling Gonzo Papers offers brilliant commentary and outrageous humor, in his signature style. Originally published in 1979, the first volume of the bestselling “Gonzo Papers” is now back in print. The Great Shark Hunt is Dr. Hunter S. Thompson’s largest and, arguably, most important work, covering Nixon to napalm, Las Vegas to Watergate, Carter to cocaine. These essays offer brilliant commentary and outrageous humor, in signature Thompson style. Ranging in date from the National Observer days to the era of Rolling Stone, The Great Shark Hunt offers myriad, highly charged entries, including the first Hunter S. Thompson piece to be dubbed “gonzo”—“The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved,” which appeared in Scanlan's Monthly in 1970. From this essay, a new journalistic movement sprang which would change the shape of American letters. Thompson's razor-sharp insight and crystal clarity capture the crazy, hypocritical, degenerate, and redeeming aspects of the explosive and colorful ‘60s and ‘70s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHARK! The cry that strikes fear into the hearts of beach lovers around the world. It carries a chill of terror, that death is nearby and waiting. Or injuries so shocking that the mind recoils from the thought. This book chronicles shark attacks both on Australia's fatal shores and overseas. It also records miraculous escapes - some so bizarre they defy belief, and some that display extraordinary courage in the face of extreme peril. Robert Reid interviews famous shark hunters and other adventurers who speak for the first time about their dangerous encounters with these fearsome predators. Reid investigates the phenomenon of the so-called 'rogue' sharks, those that stalk and kill humans in numbers, in the same place, at the same time. These are gripping stories that will both fascinate and frighten, stories that will take the reader into the realm of these strange but terrible creatures. They have ruled the oceans with ruthless efficiency for more than 400 million years. They are the silent killers of the deep.
