For twenty-five years, I've explored our planet's remotest rivers and lakes, hunting for monster-sized fish. It's become something of an obsession for me. . . . \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Called the greatest angling explorer of his generation (\u003ci\u003eIndependent on Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e), Jeremy Wade, host of Animal Planet's wildly popular TV series \u003ci\u003eRiver Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e, takes viewers where no wildlife program has gone before, revealing the creatures that lurk in the murky depths of our planet's inland waterways. Now, Wade goes truly beneath the surface, disclosing full details of how he tracks down and catches each species while also recounting the off-camera highlights of his extraordinary life. From his arrest as a suspected spy in Southeast Asia to a plane crash in the Amazon, every page of \u003ci\u003eRiver Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e is packed with adventure. Each chapter unfolds an enthralling detective story, where fishermen's tales of underwater man-eaters and aquatic killers are subjected to scientific scrutiny. Follow Wade step-by-step as, armed with just a fishing line, he closes in on his prey and separates fact from fiction. From the heart of the Congo, where he wrestles with supernatural goliath tigerfish, to the depths of the Amazon, where the most feared creature is one that could fit in your palm, the results are fish of staggering proportions and terrifying demeanor. Wade also reveals monsters from upcoming episodes, including deadly electric eels, a giant described as a cross between a shark and a chainsaw, and a snake-like beast that truly is the stuff of legend. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the tradition of the most gripping adventure writing, \u003ci\u003eRiver Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e shows that there's more to this world than what's visible on the surface. As Wade says, with a fishing line anything is possible--sometimes it can even reveal the future, or at least one possible version of it. In similar fashion, Wade's writings are much more than exhilarating stories: they reveal a vision of the world more awe-inspiring than any individual myth made flesh. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eRiver Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e explores the real mysteries that still exist, capturing the story of one man's obsession -- and his relentless pursuit of the truth.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeremy Wade\u003c\/b\u003e was the host of \u003ci\u003eRiver Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the most watched, most successful programs in Animal Planet's history, and the current host of \u003ci\u003eMighty Rivers\u003c\/i\u003e (Animal Planet).
