Publisher's 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. 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 PhD 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.

Alternate title: “Humans: Just A Bunch of Dummies Being Dumb.”
Whoooeee. Don’t expect anything real revelatory here, this Moby Dick 2.0 barely passes the Bechdel test, but it’ll make you laugh at human stupidity and talk out loud while you’re listening. Go for it!

A good way to remember Jurassic Park.

Since Jurassic Park I was searching for a book on this style, I believe Meg is a fun summer read. A little more of a scientific view would make me happier, but overall the book is pretty enjoyable. #Audible1

Meh

Between the weird Asian stereotyping/descriptions and the over the top ending, I will be passing on the rest of this series. I really had high hopes but I honestly just wanted this book to end.

Its a lot to unpack

At first I didn’t notice it, but the closer I listened the more I noticed....this is literally self servicing for the author. He is venting a lot through thing and loving it, I feel.
It’s also kinda sexist. Kinda racist.
