It was the apex predator of all time, the most fearsome creature that ever lived -- a 70-foot, 70,000 pound Great White shark. Hundreds of 7-inch serrated teeth filled jaws that could swallow an elephant whole. It could sense its prey miles away, inhaling its scent as it registered the beat of its fluttering heart, 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 the job of doing 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 Earth.

Format:Hardcover
Adventure No 3 for Jonas Taylor and his Family(Will there be a fourth?)
Primal Waters is a action packed, thrill a minute book, but what would you expect with a 74 foot Shark swimming around!.
You can tell that Steve Alten is writing about something that he is in complete awe of, the attention to detail about the Shark's body, how it works, and how it eats!, is something else.
Even though there is so much going on towards the end, you never lose track of what's happening, due to Alten's superb planning of the story.
All in all, a great book, and if you've not read MEG or THE TRENCH, what are you waiting for, buy them too!.
Keep an eye out for the Rumoured MEG Movie too, it will be a cracker!

Format:Hardcover
A thrilling read from beginning to end. This third book in the Meg series surparses its predecessors and once you begin the adventure you don't want to stop reading until you've finished it. An excellent story which not only gives a glimpse of prehistoric Earth it also gives a truly terrifying illustration of the hidden creatures of the world's seas and oceans.

VINE™ VOICE
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The third in series following the caracharodon Megalodon, the "Jurassic Shark" (Meg and The Trench, being the first two). Primal Waters continues to offer the consistent level of science, human interaction and outstanding adventure that previous Alten books have delivered. So how does Alten keep the story going without rerunning the same ground? More than just Angel (the Meg from the last book) this time around. So with multiple Megs, you get multiple storylines, diversifying the action across the Ocean and across a wider spread of characters, although all the old core characters are present. This book seems more Indiana Jones (and even a little James Bond) than the previous books, yet the plot is well conceived and will keep you interested until the very end. A great read for any adventure fan, although you'll get the most from it by reading the previous books first.
