THE CLASSIC THRILLER THAT INSPIRED STEVEN SPIELBERG’S HIT FILM WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON AUDIO
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… On April 7, 2009, BBC Audiobooks America will release the first-ever US audio recording of Peter Benchley’s classic novel Jaws, the basis for Steven Spielberg’s hit film and the original summer blockbuster. Benchley also co-wrote the screenplay for the film.
The suspense. The shocks. The shark. It’s all here in this unforgettable novel of death from the depths narrated by veteran actor Erik Steele. Jaws, nature’s most fearsome predator, fears nothing. It attacks anything, devours everything and the seaside community of Amity is at its mercy. A small-town police chief, a marine biologist, and a modern-day Ahab must try to stop it. But they are only three men, alone against the Great White Death.
Peter Benchley (1940–2006) also wrote The Deep and The Island, which were adapted for film. The Deep will be available as a digital download from BBC Audiobooks America later this year.
