From AudioFile:

White Shark is a genetically engineered seven-foot humanoid made by the Third Reich as a pure killer. It was programmed to roam the oceans to kill and spread fear. However, it lay dormant for fifty years, trapped within a sunken German U-boat at the close of WWII, until raised by unsuspecting oceanographers in the late '90's. In the tradition of Jaws, narrator Collins portrays the "monster" with menace and a maniacal lack of conscience. This suspenseful, fast-paced chiller is depicted with danger, horror and bravado, from Mengele-style ex-periments to innocent victims and lots of action.
