A young woman geneticist combines human and hammerhead shark DNA, but a slight error has her injecting herself with the shark genetic code. Man becomes shark, perhaps, in this novel of hubris and power and a shark's eternal quest for fresh squid.
Ron Dakron is the author of four novels--infra, Newt, Hammers, and Mantids--. His work runs the gamut from surrealism to sci-fi pastiche. Point No Point tagged his novels as a cross between jive bullshit, hip-hop Henny Youngman, and full-tilt Rimbaudian street-smartass sublimity. Raven Chronicles judged him as sinister as a thirteen-year-old with a lighter and a keg of butane. Publishers Weekly deemed him a writer with a fine ear and plenty of gusto.
