Synopsis

The Philippine Sea Plate is the deepest, most unexplored realm on the planet. Hidden beneath its ancient crust lies the remains of the Panthalassa, an ocean that dates back 220 million years. Vast and isolated, the Panthalassa is inhabited by nightmarish species of sea creatures long believed extinct.Tanaka Institute, Monterey, CA: Angel, the recaptured seventy-six-foot, one-hundred-thousand-pound Megalodon, has birthed a litter of pups—five females—far too numerous and aggressive to keep in one pen. One solution: a Dubai royal prince is building the largest aquarium in the world and seeks to purchase two of the “runts.”The deal hinges on hiring Jonas Taylor’s twenty-one-year-old son, David, to be their trainer. Jonas reluctantly agrees, and David is off to Dubai for the summer of his life—not realizing he is being set up to lead an expedition that will hunt down and capture the most dangerous creatures ever to inhabit the planet.

Goodreads review by Taylor on April 25, 2013

The Meg series has always been a guilty pleasure. No one will mistake these as high quality American literature, but lets be honest, it's the summer popcorn action movies that make all the money, while the December dramas garner the Oscars. That's what I equate Steve Alten's Meg series too, a string......more

Goodreads review by Russ on September 08, 2020

A rebound for the series after the disappointment of Primal Waters. This one had some genuine deep-sea thrills like the original MEG or even Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Jonas, in his 60s, mostly passes the action baton in this installment to son David, coming into his own as a submersible......more

Goodreads review by Scott on October 29, 2018

I haven’t seen the film adaptation of Steve Alten’s “Meg” yet, but I think it would be difficult, as a film producer, to simulate the winning formula of Alten’s series of giant shark thrillers, which is an unlikely pairing of pulpy action-adventure silliness with intelligent science. Think Michael C......more

Goodreads review by Anne on July 29, 2009

Sometimes a girl just needs the good old-fashioned mayhem that only prehistoric biologicals on a rampage can provide.
