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. The average prehistoric Meg weighs in at
twenty tons and could tear apart a Tyrannosaurus rex in seconds.
Written off as a crackpot suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder,
Taylor refuses to forget the depths that nearly cost him his life.
With a Ph.D. in paleontology under his belt, Taylor spends years
theorizing, lecturing, and writing about the possibility that Meg
still feeds at the deepest levels of the sea. 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.
