Sharkman

By: Steve Alten

Narrated by: Andrew Eiden

Kwan Wilson was a high school basketball star living in San Diego when a tragic accident changed his life in ways no one could predict. He only looked at his phone for a few seconds, but that was all the time it took to crash his car into a telephone pole, killing his mother and paralyzing him from the waist down.

After the accident, his father, Admiral Douglas Wilson, sent him off to live with his maternal grandmother in South Florida. Kwan's new principal, anticipating his depression and isolation, tells him about an internship at a genetics lab in Miami that is testing shark stem cells on rats in an effort to cure cancer and repair spinal injuries. Kwan declines, until he learns the beautiful Anya Patel is an intern at the lab. When Kwan takes the internship, he learns that the good news is that the stem cells are curing their rat subjects; the bad news is it alters their DNA so much, it kills them. But after a promising breakthrough is made, Kwan risks his life and injects himself with the experimental stem cells, forever altering his destiny and the lives of millions in the process.

Too sudden an ending

I felt that the ending seemed rushed, otherwise good overall. Thought maybe the package going back to the abyss, with the Tigress taking care of the Admiral and friends might have been a more deserving fate.

Don’t judge the book by its cover!

I know I got this book on sale because the book cover would have thrown me at a full credit, looks like 50’s sci-fi! But actually it was pretty darn good, very entertaining! Yes it has shades of YA, so what, I thought it was fun! I’d recommend getting it on sale!

9/11 Red Flag

The meteoric tale of a young man who loses the use of his legs in an accident who becomes as the title says the shark man . A whole lot of medical jargon mixed in with family drama that is then muddled by the military is evil, everyone in the military is evil, 9/11 red flag, conspiracy theories, a terrorist chick that never make sense, you name it . It's an okay read, I'm glad I got it on sale .

What would it be to become a shark

Great story of a basketball star that messes with nature to obtain the powers of a shark. #Domestic #Bioterrorism #Suspenseful #Magical #TorturedHero #tagsgiving #sweepstakes
