Maneaters

By: Peter Hathaway Capstick

Narrated by: Paul Maitrejean

Originally published in 1981.

Capstick will stun you with these true accounts of the most notorious and often unexpected maneaters from around the world. After listening to them, you'll think again about that docile elephant in the zoo, or about deadly piranha escaping into Florida's waterways. Your nightmares will be complete when you read about the greatest maneater of all the cannibal including such civilized legends as Jeremiah Johnson!

With the style and wit that have made Capstick the acclaimed heir to Hemingway and Ruark, he again delivers a masterpiece of true adventure that's almost as scary as being there.

Critic reviews

"IF HIGH ADVENTURE TEETERING ON THE EDGE OF ABJECT TERROR..IS YOUR BAG, THEN CAPSTICK IS YOUR MAN. NOBODY DOES IT BETTER!"-Denver Post

Respectful and academic with humor

First, I recommend listing at x1.2 or higher. The narrator is good, however, his pace is a bit slow for my attention. Overall, this book was really very good. Better than expected. Tense with plenty of anxious inducing moments speckled with humor. I recommend this one and will read his others as well.
