Its settings range from the waters around the HMS Birkenhead in 1852 to the Tsavo region in 1898 and Sankebetsu in 1915, with sharks, lions, and a brown bear at the center of the threats. The short-story format gives each episode its own place, period, and survival dilemma, bringing animal encounters and historical settings together in a compact collection.

Book overview

"Three young people find themselves face-to-face with deadly animals--and must summon all their courage to survive. From the shark-infested waters of the HMS Birkenhead in 1852 to the haunting roars of the Tsavo lions in 1898 and the ruthless Sankebetsu brown bear in 1915, three short stories bring history's most savage animal attacks to life. Can Kate, Amit, and Osuke survive the wild, or will they become another tragic tale?"--
