Eye of the Beast

For centuries tales of its existence have inspired fear and fascination. It is one of the largest creatures on the ocean floor. A massive, tentacled invertebrate that tends to feed on smaller creatures?us. Two teenage lovers have gone missing off the coast of Fells Island, a small Canadian fishing community in the North Atlantic. The next morning, a yacht cruising the same waters loses all of its crew except for one stunned survivor who swears the others were swept away by ?a sea monster.? Then government scientist Dan Leland (James Van Der Beek, Dawson's Creek) arrives to investigate the story and finds an ally in Fishery Officer Katrin Tomah (Alexandra Castillo, The Path to 9/11). She knows exactly what they're up against. The same kind of creature did away with her grandfather when she was just a child?a Giant Squid that appears to be devouring everything within sight?and scent. Now it's left to Katrin to call a local moratorium on fishing. But no fishing means no food. No food means no income, and panic is setting in. Every local who's ignored the warning hasn't returned?at least not in one piece. If Fells Island is going to have a future, it needs an organized expedition into the dangerous waters?a fearless team, fully equipped, and armed with harpoons, blind courage, and a lot of luck. What they're up against is a one-ton, tentacled terror with its eye on a new feast called man. The legend of the Giant Squid comes alive in Eye of the Beast, a rousing thriller rising out of the depths to put the squeeze on you.
