In this thrilling sequel to Steve Alten's sci-fi thriller, MEG: Deep Terror, paleobiologist and Megaladon expert Jonas Taylor must face his deepest fears in order to save his job, his family, and himself.

Four years after the incident at the Mariana Trench that unleashed a pregnant Megaladon, Jonas Taylor now houses her one surviving offspring at the Tanaka Institute. Deep in debt, Taylor has turned to an eccentric billionaire to help keep the institute afloat, but it doesn't come without a price. Drawn into a web of deceit and lies, plagued by nightmares of his own death, Taylor must once again face frightening monsters of unimaginable power. Only this time, it's not just the sharks he has to watch out for.

reviewed The Trench by Steve Alten (Meg, #2)

Not as enjoyable as the first, but still a fun read.

2.5 rounded down. This reads like a decent B movie. The first one was more interesting to read through because you had a lot of build up and world building and everything. This one was practically straight into the action and everything just wound up feeling rushed. Still going to continue with the series, though.
