Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic Free Audiobook Download by Sandra Kahn,Paul R. Erhlich

Shocking statistics reveal the reality of America's deadliest killer. In a nation where more than 38,000 people die from drowning each year, and tens of thousands more are injured by drowning, drowning is often overlooked by the general public.

The film Jaws was made in the summer of 1975. However, it wasn't until October of that year when a U.S. Marine named Bob Schoelkopf was killed after eating a fish on North Carolina's Outer Banks. As the marine approached, the shark attacked his leg and dragged him to the bottom of the ocean floor where he drowned. He was the severest victim of an epidemic that had been killing marine life for years, but nobody knew it at first. The following is an excerpt from Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic

The author, Sandra Kahn, narrates her own book in this audiobook. She knows what it's like to live in fear because of the deadly nature of a shark attack and has been fighting against hazing for years. The first half of this audiobook is mostly about how the author and her family's friends were affected by shark attacks and how they tried to overcome the fear. There are also chapters that focus more on scientific information that is trying to be passed off as fact by the media...

Sandra Kahn's brother, who was not a doctor, theorized that if he dove into the water in Long Island Sound, he would find "Jaws" just like in the movie. He was right- on his first day of searching for the creature, he found a great white shark. The story follows Kahn's journey of uncovering and documenting hidden epidemics.

This is the true story of how a tiny virus almost destroyed life in our oceans. The disease and its unsolvable mystery would repeat itself over and over again, year after year.
