Synopsis

On a top-secret dive into the Pacific Ocean's deepest canyon, Jonas Taylor found himself face-to-face with the largest and most ferocious predator in the history of the animal kingdom. The sole survivor of the mission, Taylor is haunted by what he's sure he saw but still can't prove exists—Carcharodon megalodon, the massive mother of the great white shark. The average prehistoric Meg weighs in at twenty tons and could tear apart a Tyrannosaurus rex in seconds.

Written off as a crackpot suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, Taylor refuses to forget the depths that nearly cost him his life. With a PhD in paleontology under his belt, Taylor spends years theorizing, lecturing, and writing about the possibility that Meg still feeds at the deepest levels of the sea. But it takes an old friend in need to get him to return to the water, and a hotshot female submarine pilot to dare him back into a high-tech miniature sub.

Diving deeper than he ever has before, Taylor will face terror like he's never imagined, and what he finds could turn the tides bloody red until the end of time.

Goodreads review by Matthew on September 14, 2018

I had some high hopes for Meg. I love a good action/thriller that could be described as a get away from complex literature – i.e. a fun read. For the most part I was satisfied. The concept was cool and original. Any time a book has a “maybe this could really happen” thing going on, and it is freakin......more

Goodreads review by Trish on August 30, 2018

I love sharks. They are among the top three of my favourite animals (alongside owls and Komodo dragons). And Great Whites are probably the best ones among them. Naturally, little Trish always loved to see sharks in illustrated childrens books or on television. I cried at the end of Jaws, mourning th......more

Goodreads review by Waffles on July 18, 2009

This book/series deserves 529 stars! Seriously! Any book with a jacket blurb stating "I have just two words for you: JURASSIC SHARK!" deserves the Nobel Prize for first class airport literature. This is what pulpy, guilty-pleasure reading is all about. You've got action, sex, and PREHISTORIC SHARKS! D......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on August 27, 2018

Everything in me wanted to either rebel against reading this or just submit to the gleeful horror of a shark who's head is as big as a truck. Obviously, I had to submit. And you know what really caught me off-guard? The plausibility. Yeah, a 65-foot albino shark from the deep trenches, or rather, the o......more

Goodreads review by ♛ Garima ♛ on October 16, 2023

I don't care if you judge me for giving 5 stars to this one. I absolutely enjoyed this, there is nothing I would like to change. There is correct chemistry between characters (that includes the Meg) and appropriate people are being killed and eaten. What's not to like? Update 6/9/2018- I watched the m......more
