Search - Primal Waters (Meg #3)
Book Description:It was the apex predator of all time, the most fearsome creature that ever lived -- a 70-foot, 70,000 pound Great White shark. Hundreds of 7-inch serrated teeth filled jaws that could swallow an elephant whole. It could sense its prey miles away, inhaling its scent as it registered the beat of its fluttering heart, and if you ever came close enough to see the monster...it was already too late.
Eighteen years have passed since Jonas Taylor last crossed paths with carcharodon Megalodon. Now a middle-aged father of two, he is overwhelmed by mountains of bills and the daily strife of raising a family. But life is about to change. A Hollywood television producer wants Jonas to join his new survival series: Daredevils. For the next six weeks, two teams of crazy daredevils on a South Pacific Ocean voyage will try to outperform one another in front of the cameras. Jonas needs the money, and the job of doing the color commentary seems easy enough. But behind the scenes, someone else is pulling the strings. And before it's over, Jonas will again come face to face with the most dangerous creatures ever to stalk the Earth.

This is the first book I've read by Steve Alten. Hope the others he's written are as good. Plan to read more from him.

Good writer and fairly decent storyline. A good read.
This book has a lot of technical information in it. If that's not your cup of tea, this probably isn't for you...
This book was an engaging read and a revisit of familiar and well-developed characters. Those who enjoyed Jaws and Meg:A Novel of Deep Terror will enjoy this book.
It was the most fearsome creature that ever lived--a 70 foot, 70,000 pound great white shark. Hundreds of 7-inch long serrated teeth filled jaws that could swallow an elephant whole.

The shark attack scenes are numerous and exciting. An adventure pitting man against beast!

This latest novel in Alten's MEG adventure-thriller series concerns a 57-foot, 64,000-pound prehistoric shark loose in the South Pacific. The "most fearsome creature in the sea," the Megalodon shark has ruled the planet's oceans for millions of years, surviving the cataclysms that wiped out the dinosaurs and adapting to climate changes that devastated other prehistoric marine species. Alten begins with an informative description of the Pacific Ocean and its inhabitants, the Monterey Bay off California, and the islands of New Guinea and its surrounding waters.

Just when you thought you could go back in the water - the Megalodon puts the Great White shark to shame!
