Summary
In this fifth installment of the New York Times best-selling Meg series, Meg: Nightstalkers picks up where Meg: Hell's Aquarium left off.
Bela and Lizzy, the dominant megalodon siblings from Angel's brood, have escaped the Tanaka Institute to roam the Salish Sea in British Columbia. While Jonas Taylor and his friend Mac attempt to either recapture or kill the "sisters," Jonas' son, David, embarks on his own adventure, motivated by revenge.
Having witnessed his girlfriend's gruesome death, David has joined a Dubai prince's ocean expedition, tracking the 120-foot, hundred-ton Liopleurodon that escaped from the Panthalassa Sea. Haunted by night terrors, David repeatedly risks his life to lure the Lio and other prehistoric sea creatures into the fleet's nets, all while battling his own suicidal demons.
Steve Alten weaves these storylines together in a thriller that culminates in a final showdown between the most dangerous predators ever to inhabit the planet.

More enjoyable hokum.
So more creature feature stuff with time travel hinted at….that’s kinda way off centre. Why aren’t the main players dead yet? More lives than a prehistoric cat!…enjoy it for what it is. Fun fun fun…

Fun
I enjoyed relistening to this series, still got issues with the constant push of evolution. But if you can turn that off it's quite enjoyable.
The narrator has some annoying habits, mispronunciation of archipelago and a few other words. Later in the series his accents end up all over the place, especially when he's swapping between Scottish and Arabic accented English.
Will come back to it as and when I want a mindless listen.

extinction isnt forever
the book I loved and made me sad when the sisters died but the fact it links with the loch means there is a shared universe. I mean I want to see a Megalodon fight the loch ness monster

amazing ending
not the best build up and there were moments where it went a little "out there" with the science fiction. the ending however was surprising and very satisfying.

**SPOILER ALERT**
First the non-spoiler part:
It's a typical 'Meg' book in that 90% of the action happens in the last 5 chapters, which the reviews on all the books in the series show.
*SPOILER ALERT - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!*
OK so I've read book 1 (almost 20 years ago!) and 4 recently which I really enjoyed so carried on with the series. Book 5 very much starts off in the same vein as 4, and I enjoyed it as such, until something happens in the final third which just seemed so out of nowhere and quite frankly ridiculous - time travel.
I know this is a sci fi novel and it's a bit rich saying time travel is ridiculous in a sci fi novel, but bear with me here - this is a sci fi novel about giant sea monsters, you accept that level of 'ridiculousness' is normal in this universe when you decide to pick up the book, but to randomly throw in a time travel sub plot practically out of nowhere in book 5 of a series that for 4.5 books has been exclusively about giant sea monsters feels more like a convenient plot point than anything else. It's not very well explained how it happens, and the other characters seem to accept the fact that time travel is possible practically immediately.
I still enjoyed it and basically ignored this sub plot point for the rest of the book, as the rest of the concept is great. I'm going to read book 6 too because I do like this series, but if they try and continue this time travel malarkey if a book 7 ever comes out I won't be reading it!
Oh and on a final note - the narrators attempts at accents, particularly his Scottish one, are comically bad, but just grin and bear it, its still a good book! :)

Superb, one small problem
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is a fantastic addition to the Meg Series, the story is extremely well written as you would expect from Steve Alten. The only draw back to this audiobook is the fact that the rest of the Meg series is not available on audiobook here, also the inclusion of Vostok and the Loch would also be a great addition as it would tie in characters from Nightstalkers. Well worth the investment A+++
What other book might you compare Meg: Nightstalkers to, and why?
The Meg Series, Jaws etc
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The original Meg, is being made into a film, just hope it stays true to the book
