A Fantastic Book,
This book is a fantastic read. It has action and romance. The descriptions of the locales transported me to Key West, Las Vegas and the Serengeti. I could not place the book down as I was nervous to see what would happen next. I like the use of flashbacks in the novel which allow you to know the font (how they met and forged relationships).
The thought of a world everywhere animals and humans would live collectively is a fantastic premise to the tale and brings many morale themes to the tale.
If you are looking to be entertained this is a must buy.

|Now I Know This May Sound Crazy…..,
Daniel Shields has made a masterful thriller, which is not just a fantastic vehicle for reminding us all that we are the worst predatory species on planet Earth, but also the species that threatens the existence of all others. But don’t reckon for a second that here is any preaching here, here isn’t. This is just a fantastic adventure in which the human cast comes off second best to most of this book’s sentient animals.
The words flow easily, in a style that paints a vivid framework into which one’s imagination can build. I felt his words effortlessly brush me over the threshold of a Disneyesque cartoon world that became more believable with every page I turned. The figures may start out from comic invention, but here is nothing shallow about the information in which we are drawn. The emotions are those of us all, and carry as much weighty sub-text as one finds in bounty of more traditional adult books.
If in the second chapter you can’t reasonably believe evolution can throw up the Fantastic White Shark that walks tall, plays pool, falls in like with a vixen, and grows into one of the world’s most heroic figures, then within a few more pages of engaging reading you will. If you can’t reasonably see we present humans as the same low life that loved the butchery of the Roman Colosseum, you may soon.
This is an exciting tale for all to take pleasure in, from reading teenagers to time worn adults. A vaguely mad vision, certainly it is, but one that most can slip into. One may even grow to get a least a glimpse of why the author and his star font are so engrossed by the game of pool-billiards. I know such a game seems an unlikely backdrop to a book that points up the evils of creature exploitation and slavery, but then I was already snookered by Shields’ tale long before the eight-ball slammed into any pocket.
All the locations are well painted, especially for me an exotic beach-bar on the Island of Viti Levu, Fiji. By the time I was caught up in the interplay of font around the cool-blue, velvet, of that bar’s pool-table, here was not the least opportunity of me putting down the book before its exciting end.
Obviously this book is going to be best loved by those who can easily go with the flow of the absurd. If you really are not able to see the comedy in a shark riding a chopper motorcycle, or feel an empathy with an elephant watching its parent being carried away by trophy hunters, or even suspend rational belief for long enough to see yourself as some other sentient creature, then don’t bother with this book. If you are anyone else, then grab a copy and take pleasure in.

|Incredible Tale by a New Author,
Shark & The Wolf: Predators and Prey by Daniel D. Shields is an incredible and really unique read. If you are a fan of adventure, billiards, sharks, wolves or animal rights, then this book is for you. And don’t let the cover or title fool you, this book is a present fable written for an adult consultation. It takes on the themes of slavery, trafficking, and mans inhumanity to the other creatures we share this planet with in a way that no other book I’ve ever read has done. At its core the book is a like tale between Shark and Vixen, a heartbreaking buddy tale about Shark and his golden retriever best friend Dog Z Boy, and an adventure tale that transports the reader to exotic destinations with breathtaking action and excitement along the way. I was hooked from page one and read the entire full length book in a single day. Take a opportunity – You won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait for a sequel.
