I am pretty sure that this book was the inspiration for the movie _Deep Blue Sea_. But where the movie's setting is one of isolation, the scope of this novel is much larger. It was quite exciting and even better than I thought it would be. The dolphins were a very neat part of the book, and one that I did not anticipate judging from the book's description. Surprisingly, the book did not make any references to _Jaws_. It was a good book, with ample justice for the villains (except perhaps for the Beautiful Six). It was their voice that fave this book a unique edge and really a rather likable set of "villains." All in all, this book was a very pleasant surprise.
