On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment eBook magazine UK“, The Summer Of The Shar by Alexander Carr is a thrilling, conservationist twist on the classic shark tale, where wildlife expert Nick Martin and his assistant Emma Warren race to save both lives and a Great White Shark in a gripping, fast-paced adventure set against Britain’s coastal waters.
The Summer Of The Shark

In Alexander Carr’s exhilarating novel, The Summer of the Shark, readers are plunged into a pulse-pounding adventure that redefines the shark thriller genre. Set against the dramatic backdrop of British coastal waters, this standout holiday read combines fast-paced storytelling, gripping suspense, and a thoughtful conservationist perspective that sets it apart from traditional tales of oceanic terror.

The story follows Nick Martin, an internationally renowned wildlife presenter and shark expert, who is called to investigate a rare Great White shark attack in Scottish waters. Joined by his determined new assistant, Emma Warren, Nick tracks the predator’s movements south to the bustling north Cornwall coast during peak tourist season. As sightings and attacks escalate, panic grips the public, and the government scrambles to keep beaches safe. With tensions at breaking point and danger mounting, Nick and Emma face a race against time to protect both human lives and the shark itself.
What makes The Summer of the Shark truly unique is its fresh take on the shark thriller. Unlike classics like Jaws, which often portray sharks as villains to be vanquished, Carr’s novel advocates for the protection of these misunderstood creatures. Drawing on a deep, authentic understanding of shark behavior, the author weaves a narrative that is as thought-provoking as it is thrilling. Inspired by the real-life 1916 Matawan Creek incident in New Jersey, the story is grounded in realistic detail, brought to life through short, punchy chapters and sharp, evocative writing.
This irresistible blend of action, realism, and conservationist themes has captivated readers, making The Summer of the Shark a must-read for fans of thrillers, marine science enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a compelling holiday escape. As Nick and Emma risk everything in their mission to save lives and the shark, readers are drawn into a razor-sharp tale of survival and the sea that lingers long after the final page.
Whether you’re lounging on a beach or curled up at home, The Summer of the Shark delivers a gripping, thought-provoking adventure that will leave you hooked. Dive in and discover why this novel is making waves as the holiday read of the season.

Alexander Carr
Alexander Carr’s fascination with sharks was sparked in the early 2000s by a television documentary about the chilling 1916 Matawan Creek Incident, where a shark swam eleven miles up a freshwater creek in New Jersey, claiming the lives of a ten-year-old boy and the man who tried to save him. This haunting event left such an impression that, during a trip to New York, Carr ventured to the small town of Matawan. Battling through dense brambles and nettles, he stood at the very spot of the tragedy, gazing across the creek and imagining if such an event could unfold in the UK. It was there, amid the quiet of the creek, that the seed for his gripping novel, The Summer of the Shark, was planted.
Now living in the picturesque Shropshire countryside with his wife Jane and their cocker spaniel, Molly, Carr resides far from the sea—though he notes with a wry smile that the nearby River Severn keeps him on his toes. A self-professed landlubber, he admits to rarely swimming in the ocean and finds the idea of skydiving terrifying, humorously clarifying that he’s never served in the SAS. With The Summer of the Shark, Carr channels his deep curiosity about marine life and his knack for suspenseful storytelling into a novel that blends thrilling adventure with a thoughtful conservationist perspective.
