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.… (mehr)

"...it was in this area that they netted some of the biggest fossilized shark teeth of the entire voyage, including a few that dated back less than ten thousand years."
"How big were the teeth?"
"Six to seven inches, the edges all serrated. Like a steak knife."
"What kind of--"
"Megalodon. A prehistoric relative of the Great White shark. If you figure an inch of tooth equals ten feet of shark...well, you get the idea."
"That's a big-ass shark."
"Here's the real scary part: if the teeth were less than ten thousand years old, then that means some of these sharks survived the last Ice Age by going deep to inhabit the warm layer heated by the volcanic vents."


That would be these teeth:


From this jaw (the big one, not the little one):


So basically, this is a [b:Jaws|126232|Jaws|Peter Benchley|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327958767s/126232.jpg|2318370] retread, right down the the sharks eye view. But I missed Shark Week this year, it was short, and I was in the mood. And really, all you need to say to me at times like that is this:

Giant. Angry. Prehistoric. Albino. Shark.



Yum!

Of course, this is a teaser for the rest of the series, so nobody actually gets eaten. I regard this as an unfortunate failing. But I expect the rest of the series remedies that, right? Surely it must.

A set of bonus chapters that don't quite add up to a novel of their own, but are a fun read - and hold up well if you're going to read the Meg series in series order, rather than chronological order. There are some curious disconnects between Meg: Origins and Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror - but it introduces the series in a way that adds to it, and doesn't dumb it down at all in the process. Steve Alten is a capable writer whose greatest accomplishment may be having devoted himself to making reading for pleasure a part of the lives of many young people and readers who otherwise wouldn't be.

A semi-entertaining origin story of the characters in the Meg series. Don't bother unless you are really invested in the characters and even then I wouldn't bother unless you had nothing better to do. ( )

Highly Entertaining!! ( )
