Needs more action less romance
- By Robert hughes on 21-04-22
Summary
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.
Written off as a crackpot suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, Taylor refuses to forget the depths that nearly cost him his life. 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. MEG is about to surface. When she does, nothing and no one is going to be safe, and Jonas must face his greatest fear once again.

Let's pretend Sex Trafficking is funny
I had to stop reading this book when I got to Jonas' reunion with his good ole buddy Mac, who is now a sex trafficker in Saipan, only the author would have us believe that Mac isn't exploiting his "girls". Unlike all the other traffickers in Saipan, Mac is a genuine employer, presumably paying a living wage, and no doubt also offering paid holidays and a pension plan. We are told they have families to support. How he competes with the other traffickers who infest the CNMI and don't pay wages, selling young women until they can be thrown away I have no idea, but hey, this is a work of fiction, isn't it? Let's pretend there are good brothel keepers and go along with this and ignore it, along with all the other deeply troubling red flags that keep cropping up. Except of course when he has Mac say about some women he was exchanging with another trafficker, "Girls, Philippe: you sent me livestock. The fat broad weighed more than me, and the older one had no teeth." In other words, you cease being a human being when you gain weight and lose your teeth? If you still think referring to trafficked human beings as livestock is funny, visit the "Unheard no more" website and read about the reality of buying and selling people for sex in the CNMI from people who escaped. This one passage in the book is far more nauseating than the previous description of a shark attack. At least that wasn't played for laughs.

Simply Brilliant
I had this book on paperback in the early 2003, it got me hooked, and much to my delight it turned into a series.
I have been waiting extremely patiently for this to come to audible, now if we could just have The Trench, and for Meg Generations to stop being pushed back and back and back I would be really impressed.
As for this Book it’s a true modern day epic, the new jaws, and yes, the film is coming out this year, so only 5 years later than was suggested!!
I love the effort that Steve puts into the research of the different elements, from marine life, to minerals and vegetation. The characters are nicely built up, with just the right amount of action and dialogue.
I have now bought all of Steve Allen’s books on audible except 2012 as I don’t speak German.
Many thanks for a great series, and really can’t wait for Generations

Painful narration
The book is as you'd expect - lots of teeth. Great idea for a story and enjoyable enough. The narration however was terrible. So monotonous that it was actually hard to follow what he was saying as there was no expression at all. And a weird timbre which was most distracting. Ruined the book for us unfortunately.

Great book, Terrible narrator
I read this myself before the movie came out and loved it, it's way better than the movie. Got this audiobook to listen to while I was working and man, it's difficult to stay engaged due to the narrator. I'd often find myself forgetting I was listening, even during the action. This is a story about a 70 foot maneating megalodon terrorising the seas but the way it's read you'd think it was about a Basking Shark floating about the sea filtering plankton and minding its own business.
The reader sounds like he'd much rather be narrating a gardening catalogue or something. Read the book, avoid the audiobook.
