![]() ![]() ![]() I do remember reading in Ellis’ work that an 18- to 20-foot great white shark’s ampullae of Lorenzini is sensitive enough to “detect an electrical field distributed throughout a 1,000-mile-long copper wire hooked up to a size D flashlight battery.” Now, for some reason, Ellis feels that a 60-foot Megalodon should be deficient in this area. But after reading Ellis’ castigation of “Meg” (Book Review, July 20), I felt a response was in order.Įllis, who authored “The Great White Shark,” vehemently attacks everything from the title of the book to my research, which depicts “sharks and whales behaving like unknown animals from the planet Zargon.” Funny, I don’t remember the planet Zargon being mentioned in Ellis’ book, which was a key source of information regarding the Megalodon’s behavior. I do not write to please literary critics I write to please readers who just want to enjoy the act of escaping in an action-packed commercial novel. As a first-time novelist, I have been forewarned to ignore the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes time for critics to review my work. ![]()
