About this listen
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.

OK so I watched the movie, which was great fun, but this book is SO MUCH BETTER and has now spoilt the movie for me.
Why couldn't the screen writers even loosely follow the book.
This book is just the right side of scary and funny, the characters are believable and the Meg is just terrifying.
A great book can't wait to hear the others in the series.

A fun listen.
Books like this are proof that they are always better than the movie adaptation. In this case, it is miles better, although the added prologue at the end felt unneeded.

Great Story
I really enjoyed this one, I read it on a recommendation from a friend with the film upcoming. There's just enough science in there for it to feel really believable as if it could happen but not to ground the possibilities of where it can go. It's a shame the second one is not yet available on audio because it would be an automatic purchase for me.

Entertaining yarn, very well read
Highly enjoyable, though over the top story. Not life changing in any way, but a good way to while away some hours on the road. Nicely read by Sean Runnette.

MEG Origins tagged onto the end.
I really enjoyed this book far superior to the film wish I had discovered it before I watched the film. Well read and a good story I sometimes got a bit confused as to what was happening, but that was probably my fault as my listening can be a bit spasmodic thank good ness for replay. Took me by surprise that the prequel novel (written after “Meg”) was added at the end this was great and filled in some background to the initial novel.

Great performance
I first read this book years ago when it came out and decided to give the audiobook a listen after watching the film adaption. I forgot how enjoyable it was. Highly recommend this title for shark fans.
