Nature of the Beast

By Adam Mansbach, Douglas Mcgowan, Douglas McGowan, et al.

Book Overview

When the world is threatened by an alien force, a Florida gator wrestler is all that stands between survival and total annihilation.

Though humans have never heard their name, mankind's greatest enemies are called the Zawa. A race of alien zealots, they crisscross the stars on a bloodthirsty crusade, destroying life on other planets in service of their sinister galactic god. And Earth is next on their list.

They offer mankind one hope for survival: They will engage in hand-to-hand combat with Earth's chosen champion to determine the planet's fate. To find the world's deadliest creature, Earth's richest man--media titan Milan Marlowe--organizes a no-species-barred fight to the death, pitting sharks, gorillas, and polar bears against one another in a gruesome knockout tourney. No one bets on the alligator, but that's because no one has heard of his trainer. Bruno Bolo is an alligator wrestler, blues singer, and whiskey-hound from the humid Florida swamps. He has a quick temper, quicker fists, and courage that is unmatched in man or beast. And he might just be humanity's last chance . . .
