You think Jaws is bad? Check out Meg by Steve Alten.
SYNOPSIS
Commander Jonas Taylor is tasked with piloting the US Navy’s most advanced submersible, the DSV Sea Cliff, to the bottom of Challenger Deep — 36,000 feet below the surface — into what is very much an undiscovered country. What he finds there — a remnant population of luminous, prehistoric Megalodons — will change the course of the rest of his life.
In this prequel to his New York Times Bestseller, Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror, Alten sets the stage for the popular suspense series to follow. Fans of Meg will find it a must for offering insight into key characters’ backstories, but the novella-length work also stands alone as a bite-sized tale of deep-sea suspense.

Some laughs and giggles – some fear and terror.
“Okey dokey. That’s all the proof I’ll be needing.”
I love Steve Alten’s books and the Meg Series is my favorite. I eagerly anticipate the release of another Meg novel – Meg: Night Stalkers. Just looking at the covers makes me want to grab them and read the series for the fourth or fifth time, which I start again when the next book comes out. I never get tired of reading them. I would love to see them made into movies, but the the cost is probably prohibitive.
Anyone who has read any of the Meg books knows that a person’s arrogance will bring the wrath of Meg down on them. Greed raises its ugly head, taking on the world’s greatest predator. So beware when you enter the water. Do I have your attention?
I have always had a passion for any body of water, be it pool, lake, sea or ocean. I marvel at the great unknown. I used to watch Jacques Cousteau, eager to see what new discovery he would make.
“God will judge you when He’s ready; use the time you have left to give HIM as many positives – your resume – as you can.”
5 STARS (not nearly enough) – Would Buy It For Them (lol)
His upcoming novel – The Omega Project will blow your mind.

I’ve also read this series many times and can’t wait for more. How did you find out by Nightstalkers and The Omega Project?
Excellent post Sherry. I did see where they were talking about making the movie but haven’t heard anything more.
It mentions the upcoming Nightstalkers in one of his books and he talks about The Omega Project on his website. He has a newsletter to keep up with him. I would love some movies, but I wonder what the cost would be to do it justice. I LOVE Jaws, so I would think this would take Sharks to a whole new level. LOL
Yep. There are some cheesy B movies about Megs. I always watch them but I hope they go the extra mile if they make a MEG movie. Anything less would be a huge disappointment.
Cheesy B movies are some of my favorites, but if they were to do Meg, I would hope it would be of the same caliber as Jaws.
I haven’t heard of this book before but I am already creeped out. Sharks scare me.
Steve Alten writes some amazingly good books. All of them are about some kind of scary. I live on the Gulf Coast and every time I go in the water I think about it, but I believe we are not very tasty to them. They seem to bite, then spit us out. LOL
Just checked out his web page and I’m intrigued. Thanks for sharing this author with me, I will have to check out his works. I love the covers of his books, great colors and imagery. I love the variety of his works too. October would be a great month to read one of his books. Thanks!
You are so right about this being a great month to read one of his books. They keep me on the edge of my seat and I am tensed up waiting for the strike. I know something is coming, no matter which book it is. Happy Reading and let me know what you think of whichever book you choose.
