Book excerpt: A thrill seeker accepts a million dollar wager to fight a great white shark with only a knife; but things aren't always what they seem, and death plays no favorites. Death Match: The 20th Century Gladiator is a tale of passion, betrayal, and savage revenge. Based on a real event from the author's life, the story made front page headlines of New York Magazine, April 5, 1976. "Man VS. Shark: $1Million Death Match in Samoa" (sponsored by Sargent Productions), was to be a live-satellite, closed–circuit affair broadcast to the US, Japan, and Russia, but the real match never happened. That was the 70s. Now, you will find out what could have happened if world-famous oceanographer Jacques Cousteau hadn't stopped the fight in the eleventh hour.
