The Book of Quint: A 400+ page novel detailing the events that make Quint into the fearless shark hunter of Amity Island. Follow him from 1945 to 1968, and witness how Quint rises to become a legend of the North Atlantic.

Not only will this story stand alone and create a gripping and dramatic tale of Quint, but also, after reading it, your viewing of the movie Jaws will never be the same. You will notice performances of minor characters and objects in backgrounds that now take on a whole new meaning. This is essentially what a prequel should do—make the original more enjoyable.

Jaws Fans unite and show Universal Studios there is a demand and now a blueprint for a Jaws prequel to be made and released in the summer of 2025 for the 50th anniversary of Jaws.

A great listener comment leads to a Jaws Columbo analogy, which then leads to examining the relationship Jaws history has with the Columbo series starring Peter Falk in 1976.

This leads to a discussion on Director Steven Spielberg's initial instincts for a Jaws prequel.
