About the Author:
Professor Grahame Webb is a leading figure in zoology and in environmental protection. His major interest has been the biology, conservation and management of crocodiles, a group which he has done much to protect. His novel was inspired by three years' work with Aboriginals on the saltwater crocodiles of Arnhem Land where he became familiar with their traditional environmental management
Review:
"One of the best of the reptilian menace novels, this scores bonus points for its use of Aboriginal culture and religion, a fascinating subject not often encountered. The author knows his stuff and it shows, and in what is his first and only novel, he shows that he can also write a good tense yarn. It is surprising that most crocodile horror novels don't play up the gore aspect, and this is no exception, regardless of the lurid title. It is basically an extension of Webb's personal philosophy that crocodiles are feared mainly through public misunderstanding, and he makes a good case. Recommended." - The Last Page Bookshop.
