Soon after it becomes clear that Megs have survived in an unusually warm area of the Mariana Trench, one manages to escape the depths and begin feasting on humans.
When Jonas sees an image of a giant tooth embedded in another submersible too large for any known shark species, he joins a private expedition to investigate.
Seven years earlier, while piloting a Navy submersible in the Mariana Trench, Jonas thought he saw a “Meg” and, in his panic, rushed the sub to the surface, causing the death of two civilians aboard from “pressurization problems.” After spending three months in a mental hospital, he was dishonorably discharged from the Navy. Paleobiologist Jonas Taylor believes that Carcharodon megalodon, a gigantic ancestor of the great white shark, still exists. This reissue of bestseller Alten’s 1997 Meg novel, the first in the series, shows how the original hasn’t aged well.
