Synopsis

It was the greatest predator of all time, the most fearsome creature that ever lived—a seventy-foot, seventy-thousand-pound great white shark. Its jaws, filled with hundreds of seven-inch serrated teeth, could swallow an elephant whole. It could sense its prey from miles away, and if you ever came close enough to see the monster … it was already too late.Eighteen years have passed since Jonas Taylor last crossed paths with Carcharodon megalodon. Now a middle-aged father of two, he is overwhelmed by mountains of bills and the daily strife of raising a family. But life is about to change. A Hollywood television producer wants Jonas to join his new survival series: Daredevils. For the next six weeks, two teams of crazy daredevils on a South Pacific ocean voyage will try to outperform one another in front of the cameras. Jonas needs the money, and working on the color commentary seems easy enough. But behind the scenes, someone else is pulling the strings. And before it’s over, Jonas will again come face-to-face with the most dangerous creatures ever to stalk the oceans.

Goodreads review by Trish on September 20, 2018

In this third novel old enemies, both human and animal, re-surface to haunt Jonas Taylor and his wife. There is quite the big time jump between the second and third book. JT is 64 now and has a daughter and son with Terry. The Tanaka Institute has failed after the disaster of the second book and whal......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on September 15, 2018

I think I must have been more than usually willing to suffer trash this month. Do I like trash? Well... sometimes... especially when it's horror trash. This fits the bill... a little. :) Jaws on steroids. Chum in the water. A Reality TV show going really, really wrong. Well, that part was pretty cool.......more

Goodreads review by Robert on July 26, 2023

I shouldn't give this book 4 stars I really shouldn't. The story is so far fetched... You ever see that movie Sharknado? If you did then admit you sat thru the whole movie didn't you? For as much ridiculousness as there is in this novel it’s still a lot of fun.......more

Goodreads review by Nick on September 05, 2023

4 stars may be stretching this one. Probably should be at 3 but I do like Alten and this series but this was a weak entry. Definitely a decline in plot, suspense and character building from first 2 books in series. I read the first 5 in this series and after the first 2 I just thought the plots were......more
