Imagine facing a belligerent, one-ton monster with four, six-inch long, interlocking canines and another 2000 pounds of pressure per square inch in his jaws. His eyes look demonic and his paralyzing roar louder than that of a male lion. As swift as he is agile, the Steller sea lion can outrun a human and scale vertical rock walls. Goliath, a Steller sea lion pup is rescued off the coast of Alaska after a violent tsunami devastates the Steller population. The animal is sent to the Ocean Beach Aquarium in New London, Connecticut. At first, he is cooperative, but things change as he matures. Soon his natural instinct to breed and rule his harem take over. Goilath escapes after a strong New England hurricane and causes mayhem and death wrought from frustration. Help comes from a most unlikely source.

Reviews

"Fast-paced and gripping, Benjamin has captured the kind of excitement reminiscent of Peter Benchley's classic, 'Jaws'." (Brian Judd, author of "Beyond the Bookstore"). Riveting! Like a freight train. Beachmaster starts off slow, speeds up and never slows down until the end." (Dr. Jerry Lariola, MD, author of "The Budapest Connection" with Dr. Henry Lee).
