George Smathers scarcely missed a dance, raced to and fro between his table...
...crew when their destroyer sank in the early days of World War II, and now Mature is grimly determined to make every carchariid in creation pay the reckoning. Assigned to accelerate research on shark repellents. Mature moves in on a sluggish school of scientists like a shovelnose on shrimp. Everything from poison to ultrasonics has been tried, but only copper acetate and octopus juice seem to have much effect on the brutes. However, neither of these is strong enough. What...
