Series: Meg
This is the second book in one of Steve Alten's series. The first book is called Meg and the books are about a prehistoric shark that is the ancestor of the great white. However, these sharks are not your ordinary great white sharks, they are a lot bigger and where the king of all the oceans before they became extinct. These sharks were so enormous that they could easily take down a T-Rex that ventured into waters where they were hunting.
In these stories, this shark that is thought to be extinct is not extinct after all and it surfaces from the Mariana Trench in a freak accident in the first book. The second book continues the story with the offspring of the shark from the first book escaping its tank in California and wreaking havoc. In addition to the creature feature background there is espionage and fight for global power within the book as well as additional animals that are thought to be extinct showing up in the Mariana Trench.
This may all sound a little to far fetched, but Alten has a away of making it sound realistic while also bringing in personal relation problems along the way. He makes it simple to picture this actually happening with the trials that the characters all are going through.
