  From shark attack survivor to the shark’s biggest advocate, Paul de Gelder tells us just why these majestic diverse animals need our help as much as we need them. 
  Something happens to you the first time you dive with sharks… 
  We have a perennial fascination with sharks. Portrayed in the media and popular culture as killing machines, we are awed by their power and strength. But the shark is so much more – a marvel of the sea, they have evolved over 450 million years into over 500 species, from the bioluminescent kitefin to the tiny dwarf lantern shark, the sociable lemon shark to the cow shark, which can birth up to 100 pups in one litter. Bringing balance to the ocean’s ecosystem, our planet is at serious risk when these amazing creatures are threatened. 
  Paul de Gelder, who lost two limbs in a shark attack during a mission as an elite Australian navy clearance diver, spent time as part of his recovery learning all about sharks. He became so obsessed that, despite what happened to him, he is now an expert and has dedicated his life to helping save them. Shark is his love-letter to these unfairly vilified animals, and his warning to the world about what will happen if we don’t look out for them. 
  In SHARK, Paul de Gelder, a shark attack survivor turned advocate, explores the intricate ecosystems of the seas and oceans. He emphasises the importance of marine conservation and the protection of the diverse habitats that these misunderstood creatures call home. 
  For fans of Daniel C. Abel (The Lives of Sharks), Helen Czerski (Blue Machine), Brian Skerry (Shark), David A. Ebert (Sharks of the World), and Lee Schofield (Wild Fell).

  I hope that it will interest those who are hoping to make money on line, and those who want to attract more traffic to an offline business by using the often ‘free’ resources that the Internet has to offer. It will also be useful to bloggers who just want to make friends all over the world and chat with them. Luckily, many aspects of the Internet are still free, especially if you don’t allow yourself to be manipulated by the self-proclaimed Internet gurus, who are waiting to pounce on unsuspecting newbies.

  Audiobook Description  
  The sky came down like a knife and took everything Jack Steele loved. 
  Jack is a man of the West  steady, hard-handed, and honest. When the Black Sky opens and ships pour fire on his town, Jack’s quiet life is ripped apart. His wife Emily is taken. His son is gone. The town is ash and smoke. What remains are people who must learn to fight. 
  This audiobook is a fast, hard ride. Expect non-stop action raids at dawn, desperate night escapes, small teams sneaking into alien strongholds, and big set-piece fights where bullets and courage meet strange, unstoppable weapons. You’ll meet tough allies (Lila, Mateo, Sheriff Cole, Mayor Evelyn Harper) and enemies who think like machines. You’ll see rescue missions that cost everything, plans hatched in smoky rooms, and the price of hope when hope looks foolish.

  What to expect  gritty Western grit fused with hard sci-fi threat; fierce small-group tactics; emotional losses that shape the fight; a slow, terrible enemy plan that will force Jack and the survivors to change the rules of war.
