About this listen

From 1945 to 1968, witness Quint survive the greatest naval tragedy in history with the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, and the events that bring him to Amity Island where he becomes a legend of the North Atlantic. A descent into one man's struggle with survivor's guilt from war and dealing with the post-traumatic stress inflicted by losing his friends to sharks leads to a psychological battle against a cunning politician and an island that wields a great secret.

A Jaws universe expansion novel providing details and backstory to enhance the performances in the original movie. For the 50th Anniversary in 2025, after you experience The Book of Quint, watch Jaws again for the first time.

Outstanding story

I feel that I’ve been invested in this book as I’ve been a Jaws fan all my life & I followed the jawsOB podcast since I discovered it shortly after it started.

Ryan has not only wrote a fantastic book that is a prequel to jaws but the detail he is taken in writing this is stunning.

As a veteran myself of a completely different conflict, I can tell you that the way he covers survivors guilt and the PTSD that comes with it is no small thing. I think most Veterans, could put themselves in the place of Quint’s experiences during the story.

This book is brilliant and deserves to be made into a film that would sit amongst the jaws universe which has common source material but is a true original story on its own right.

This is my favourite book on or off Audible.
