Wolfgang Ott?

Guten Tag.

I have a question about the author of the book "Sharks and Little Fish". Who is Wolfgang Ott. I can't get over how well this book was written and I read the english translation so I'm guessing the original is even better. It's listed as fiction but it seems realistically compelling that Wolfgang Ott was writing from first hand experience. I see very little reference to his name except in association to his book and I only found that he wrote only one book. This is in itself amazing because of how well it's written. With this kind of talent I can't believe he didn't write any more books which also leads me to believe he was possibly writing under a pen name or that he was writing about his own experiences (heard second hand or experienced personally) as amazing as they were.

Either way I highly reccomend reading it if you haven't already.
