SYNOPSIS
In The Wizard of Oz, a runaway finds herself transplanted to a strange land, only to learn it was all a dream. In Planet of the Apes, an astronaut awakens to find himself in a strange land, only to realize he is still on Earth. The Omega Project ups the ante, and neither the hero nor the reader will know the true reality until the very last page. In 2028, twelve astronauts and a scientist are cryogenically frozen for 30 days beneath the Ross Ice Shelf to prep for a mission to Europa. Only one will awaken… 12 million years in the future!
EXCERPT
When the oil stopped flowing death became a game of musical chairs. Accepting isolation over the insanity of anarchy, I remained alone in my fortress of solitude, waiting for the world’s population to drop from seven billion to just under six hundred million, knowing that if I could safeguard my chair then maybe I’d live to see a different, wiser world. Instead, I found myself quarantined against a society gone mad in every sense of the word. After sixteen months of rationing, I was forced to venture out of my prison — and that’s when I met my new companion.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Steve Alten earned his Bachelors degree at Penn State University, a Masters Degree in Sports Medicine from the University of Delaware, and a Doctorate of Education at Temple University. Struggling to support his family of five, he decided to pen a novel he had been thinking about for years. Working late nights and on weekends, he eventually finished MEG; A Novel of Deep Terror, a thriller about Carcharodon megalodon, the 70-foot prehistoric cousin of the great white shark. MEG went on to become an international best-seller, with movie rights sold. The Mayan Calendar plays a big part in his Domain series — another international best-seller sold in the U.K. as THE MAYAN PROPHECY series. Steve’s other work includes The LOCH — a modern-day thriller about the Loch Ness Monster, The SHELL GAME — about the end of oil and the next 9/11 event, and GRIM REAPER: End of Days — a modern-day Dante’s Inferno which takes place in New York when a man-made plague strikes Manhattan. His best work yet, THE OMEGA PROJECT – was released in August 2013. As an author, Steve has two goals. First, to continue to work hard to become a better storyteller and create exciting page turning thrillers. Second, to remain accessible to his readers. Steve reads and answers all e-mails, uses the names and descriptions of his loyal fans as characters in all his novels, and even hires readers as editors, depending on their particular expertise.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s an easy one. SHARKS!! More specifically a Great White, or if they do exist, a Megallodon! I can’t imagine anything scarier than that.
However did you find this giveaway?
I found a new tour group to join, Partners In Crime. Look at the sidebar on my home page for their link. I love it! The books are so ME. ^_^ Sharks are scary, but I love them. I swim in the Gulf without a second thought about danger, unless it is the dreaded jellyfish.
Hmm … probably jellyfish. Too hard to see, too easy to get stung in the water. Thanks for featuring this book and all the information associated with it!
Hi Lance. I’m with you about the jellyfish. I have been stung, but still swim in the Gulf. I am more cautious and if I see a jellyfish, it is sunning only. Or maybe a cocktail at the beach bar. ^_^ Thanks for stopping in.
Love the trailer. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool. I loved it too. Steve Alten’s books are fantastic. I love anything to do with the sea and his books will leave you wanting more. Happy reading Jennifer.
Gonna have to say sharks! They want to eat me and I don’t wanna be eaten.
As for the trailer, WOW! It was more like a movie trailer. I hope it’s all just a dream. Sounds like a fascinating book.
LOL. That would be a terrible way to go. I thought the same thing about the trailer. It is awesome. I can hardly wait to read the book. Steve Alten is a great writer and I will always grab whatever he puts out. If you aren’t afraid of the water before you read his books, you probably will be after. ^_^
Thanks for the trailers. Looking forward to reading his book…B
I love his writing and am eager to begin reading the book. Thanks for stopping in Brian. Have a great weekend.
I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I have a huge fear of drowning, so most sealife terrifies me. I would have to say that I would be the most afraid of the large whales and sharks.
I really enjoy your books and can’t wait to read this one. Thanks for sharing 8)
Those are all legitimate fears, for sure. Thanks for sharing and I’m glad you like my selections. Happy reading.
I would say I have a fear of jellyfish. I’m not a good swimmer and I hate to say I have lived in Florida for many years and it is known for jellyfish and not good when stung by one. Wonderful trailer. Thank you for a chance to win
I found the trailer fantastic too. Like a mini movie. My biggest fear, I am also in Florida, is jellyfish. I also have been stung and it is very unpleasant. Still doesn’t keep me out of the water. ^_^
