MEG(ALODON): the Trench

     Okay so I found the sequel to this book lying on the floor of the family car when we were all going somewhere and i decided to read it.  It was a really good book and I read it constantly!  Although, it kept making references to events that happened in the previous books so I was a little lost there, but it was still an easy read because it would describe the event it mentioned so you didn't feel lost which is a really good idea!  Anyway this book is about the prehistoric shark species, Megalodon.  A scientist who was hired to set up earthquake sensors in the Marianas Trench was doing so with his partner when the vibrations from the mechanical arm which was unwinding some cable attracted a male megalodon, which is around 30 feet long and a few hundred tons, and attacks his partner and kills him.  Meanwhile a female arrives and attacks the male which was wrapped in the cable which was being unwound. The ship above on the surface then started to retract the cable since there was too much tension and they needed to find out what was happening.  As they bring up  the caught male though, the female follows it out of the trench into the open ocean where it then proceeds to wreak havoc on the innocent fisherman and swimmers along the coast.  Its incredibly suspenseful and very well written!  It's one of my all time favorite books and I'd even be up for reading again which I never do.
