PETER BENCHLEY
American writer
(1940 - 2006)
  CHECK READING LIST (2)  

The great fish moved silently through the night water, propelled by short sweeps of its crescent tail. The mouth was open just enough to permit a rush of water over the gills.
      - Jaws [Books (First Lines)]

In sea water more than a few feet deep, blood is green. Water filters the light from above, seeming to consume the colors of the spectrum shade by shade. Red is the first to succumb, to disappear. Green lasts longer. But then, below 100 feet, green, too, fades away, leaving blue. In the twilight depths--180, 200 feet, and beyond,--blood looks black.
      - The Deep (ch. 1) [Books (First Lines)]

It was ten o'clock in the morning when the captain noticed that the wind had begun to die.
      - The Deep (prologue) [Books (First Lines)]
