Fascinated by this thrashing monster from the deep, Theos obsession with sharks was triggered and so began a lifelong association with these predators. Initially intent killing sharks, Theo earned a reputation as a ruthless and successful shark hunter, and slaughtered many Great Whites.

No longer believing them to be killing machines, he ceased his attempts to destroy them and began to turn his energies into preserving these magnificent creatures. He is dedicated to educating people about the importance of sharks to our oceans at large. This book is testament to his unwavering commitment to this end.
