Summary: If you want an exciting book, this is the one to read!
Review: This book tells about a man who has devoted his life and career to this gigantic shark, and the horror this man goes through. Not to mention what his wife see's and has to live with, and the adventure she get's placed in.
I love this book because it is very action packed and always makes me want to keep reading, I couldn't put the book down!!!
This book is about a man, Jonas, who has studied this pre-historic shark for years. Ever since he thought he saw it down in the Mariana Trench, 7 miles below the surface of the ocean, while he was piloting a submersible. Ever since then he has found interest in this animal, and has took up a career in caputring this animal and trying to keep it held in a man made lagoon.
This is a very packed book, which makes it fun to read. I have really never found a slow spot in this book. Though some of the technical scientific definitions went right over my head, they were quick to explain what it ment, so you were never left guessing on your own.
I recomend every one who even thinks about reading this book, to do so. Even if you don't like books about sharks, because I didn't think I would enjoy a book about a shark, but this book proved me wrong.
READ THIS BOOK!!!

Summary: Just as good as the first!
Review: I was reading an article updating the movie that is based on Steve Alten's first book "MEG" when I clicked on a link to the website and found that he had a sequel out called "THE TRENCH". I bought the book that very day and what a thrill ride.
"THE TRENCH" starts out a few years after the first novel with Jonas Taylor now watching over Angel, the baby shark born at the end of the first book. But Angel has grown significantly larger than her mother. She is 72 feet in length which is 12 feet longer than her mother and weighs several tons more. She is the main attraction at an aquarium owned by Masao Tanaka who is now his father-in-law. After repeated warnings about the shark banging her head against the steel doors that kept her from the ocean, she finally breaks free and goes on quest to return to her home in the trench. His wife Terry and her father Masao take his place aboard a mission in which subs plant mechanical type robots in the ground at the bottom of the oecean in the trench to record any activity that might alert them to a coming monsoon or earthquake. But there is secret plot involved in this.
With much suspense, action, and mystery, this book will not let you put it down until you find out what is really going on in the trench.
Just a wonderful book that will keep you wanting more, which you will get when the sequel comes out later this year or the next.

Summary: Going Deep with Lizards, Megalodon and worst of all, MAN
Review: Steve Alten has done it again. This uncannily timely thriller includes attempts to obtain fusion weapons by none other than Osama Bin Laden through a man named Benedict and his villainess accomplice, Christine. Neither shows any scruples or mercy in their quest for absolute power. Meg's daughter, Angel has grown and escapes her environs for the freedom of the wide Pacific. There she causes havoc up the Pacific, Canadian Pacific and Alaskan Coasts before proceeding to the Marianas Trench where the above mentioned villains are doing their worst to come up with super fusion material for a terrorist we all know and hate. Anyway, the suspense builds with each shark attack and battle between good men and absolutely horrid men (and women). The deeper the reader goes, the more tense the action becomes. This book is a nail biter, a can't put downer of the most sensational kind. "Domain" was great but "The Trench" is unbelievable. Don't hesitate to purchase this book, you won't regret it.

Summary: Alten Triumphs for the Second Time in a Row
Review: With his debut novel, Meg, Steve Alten chilled us. As we flip the pages to this exciting can't-put-it-down-until-it-is-over-book, an incredibly frightening thought cascades through each of our heads: what if the Charchorodon Megalodon really existed? Anyone who read the book had at least one nightmare after reading it. Now Alten has released the equally terrifying sequel, The Trench. In The Trench, some of Alten's most loved characters return to fight the battle of the deep, such as fun-loving, not-afraid-of-anything Mac; and the knowledgeable Masao. Of course, the main characters are Jonas Taylor and Terry Tanaka. The two sparked a love interest nearing the end of Meg and were married in between novels. Unfortunately in the four years they have been married, they have fallen upon rough times. Terry loses a baby after eight months of carrying and Jonas has become entirely work obsessed. Jonas Taylor's work is focused on Meg's offspring; a 72-foot female Megalodon comically named 'Angel.' The prehistoric monster is being held in captivity at the Tanaka Lagoon. Unfortunately, the lagoon has also fallen on hard times due to many suits from angry family members of Meg's meals in the first novel. As a result, the company has joined with Benedict Singer, an emerald-eyed millionaire. The Trench is absolutely jam-packed with antagonists. Oddly enough, the Megalodon seems to be the least of the reader's worries. Perhaps the most frightening monster in the book would have to be Benedict Singer's protegee, a stunning platinum-blonde beauty queen by the name of Celeste Singer. Celeste's manipulating antics are liable to get someone killed. Also, the newly discovered prehistoric reptile the Pliosaur. This marine-adapted reptile hunts in packs, deadly packs. They have already killed a group of workers aboard the Prometheus, and they are yearning to taste human flesh again. However benign Angel seems throughout the book, she is killing. Jonas and a group of others are tracking the female and attempting to either kill it or trap it to return to the lagoon. Not to mention the fact that while Jonas is chasing the Angel of Death, Terry has been caught in a web of lies and ends up in the Marianna Trench for over a week. Understanding that there are several people who want Terry dead, she begins to show amazing courage and strength while in the Trench. This spine-chilling page-turner makes the reader really evaluate life and what life would be like if some of these mind-boggling predators existed in life today. With only two novels left in his path thus far, Alten has already become a very well known and very well liked author. So cheers to Alten, for releasing an excellent, five-star quality novel for the public to read and enjoy for generations to come.

Summary: A FLACCID FISH TALE
Review: The only thing I disliked more than this book (and the author for cranking out more inane pap) was myself for overcoming my distaste for the inept "Meg" and succumbing to shark-mania and reading it. Not only did Alten provide shark fans with an implausible story, dialogue that oscillates between wooden and unintentionally hilarious, and cartoonish characters, but his narrative is laced with offensive racist and sexist stereotypes. Overall, this book stunk worse than week old fish. Unless you're a pre-pubescent boy (and not a particularly sophisticated one at that), I'd suggest another shark/suspense novel such as "In Harm's Way, the real-life account of the sinking of the Indianapolis (recall Quint's monologue in "Jaws").
