Steve Backshall's Deadly 60

Product Information

My parents both worked in the airlines, so we were lucky enough to travel from a very early age – Africa, Asia, South America and the Mediterranean. Steve Backshall’s new book, Deep Blue: My Ocean Journeys, begins with a waltz beneath the waves off Vancouver Island off the coast of Canada. Also an author, he has written numerous nonfiction books and a fiction series, The Falcon Chronicles. In reality it was a black-tip reef shark and about the size of your average haddock, less danger to me than a house rabbit. Back home, at his idyllic eco-house beside the Thames, the naturalist and presenter of the phenomenally popular Deadly 60 television series is wrestling with a rather less appealing apparition: the sewage flowing down the river.

It all began after a rainy-day visit with his family to an exhibition of artefacts from Papua New Guinea. A lot of those trips were about getting in the sea and being transported into that different world where everything is new and fresh and exciting, and a colour you can barely describe. But with the majority of ocean species, even really iconic ones, we almost certainly will not have seen courtship, breeding and giving birth. Steve Backshall joins Anthony Horowitz and Charlie Higson writing the best adventure fiction with his third adventure in the gripping Falcon Chronicles, filled with intrigue, adventure, exotic wildlife and dramatic locations.A wide variety of insects, reptiles and amphibians use toxins to subdue their prey or to stop becoming prey to another predator. Backshall hopes that writing more books could be a future career path, but he speaks with such passion about environmental issues that he would make a brilliant politician.
