Meg

Viac o knihe

If Michael Crichton and Clive Cussler collaborated on a summer read, it would be a jaw-dropping and terrifying page-turner about the deep sea. During a top-secret dive into the Pacific Ocean's deepest canyon, Jonas Taylor encounters the largest and most ferocious predator ever: Carcharodon megalodon, the massive ancestor of the great white shark. As the sole survivor of the mission, Taylor is haunted by his experience but struggles to prove the creature's existence. Dismissed as a crackpot suffering from PTSD, he dedicates years to theorizing, lecturing, and writing about the possibility that Meg still lurks in the ocean's depths. An old friend in need compels him to return to the water, alongside a daring female submarine pilot who encourages him to embark on a high-tech dive. As Taylor descends deeper than ever before, he confronts unimaginable terror, with the potential for bloodshed that could last through time. The author, Steve Alten, holds a master's degree in sports medicine and a Ph.D. from Temple University. An enthusiastic amateur oceanographer, he has studied Megalodons for over a decade and resides in South Florida with his family. This marks his debut novel.
