Christian Is Back To Save The Sharks

Christian Roberts, a handsome, young Floridian, has retired from horse racing and sets off with his wife, Allie, to cruise the Caribbean on his new sloop. Tragedy strikes, ending the dream vacation, and Christian becomes the prime suspect in a murder.

Shattered and guilt ridden, Christian believes his actions caused the death, and suicide lurks in his thoughts, a way to end his pain, but he can’t act on the impulse, at least not yet.  He must honor a dying request, “Save the sharks. Do it for me.”

Every year, one-hundred million sharks are killed for their fins that are used in a Chinese soup, a symbol of wealth in Asia. Within the next ten years, one-third of all shark species will be extinct, and without these ocean predators, the reefs will decline. Christian embraces the impossible task of stopping the shark slaughter. Under the alias of Captain Nemo, he becomes an eco-terrorist while a suspicious FBI agent dogs his every move.

Will Christian be caught and imprisoned? Will the fin traders kill him? Could despair win out, causing him to take his own life? Or will Christian succeed and save the sharks?

“Blond and good looking, Christian Roberts takes on the killing of millions of sharks for shark fin soup, a practice that threatens the balance of nature. Fin traders would kill him. Agents of the law would imprison him. Women love him. Ecology-minded folks applaud him. Readers have a new super hero. Susan Klaus is one of the most creative story tellers to surface since Ian Fleming, David Baldacci, and Michael Crichton.”

Kim Cool, award-winning author and feature editor of the Sun Coast Media Group.
