The Everglades-Floridas Green Hell, a kingdom of infested swamps ruled by a hideous reptile king ALLIGATOR!The gator was a twenty-foot giant. His jaws could crush a powerful man to pulp. His lashing tail could smash a tree to matchwood. And his brutal, mindless lust for killing was insatiable.No man who had gone hunting the devil of the Everglades had come back alive. But Lee Ferris and Rye Whitman were different. Violent death to them was a challenge and they were drawn inexorably together by a mutual hatred and need that would give them no rest. Until they had met -and conquered-the most savage nightmare the swamps had ever known...ALLIGATOR is a drama-filled saga of savage action and nerve-wrenching suspense-the greatest novel of courageous man against murderous beast since JAWS.
