About this audiobook
"Bluefish," writes the author, are "animated chopping machines. They will eat anything alive. They have stripped the toes from surfers in Florida. They can't not eat." Hersey weaves fact and legend around his subject, engaging the reader with juicy details of ocean life, philosophy, natural history, and the crises into which man has let his environment slide.
