Meg: Nightstalkers

By Steve Alten

Book Overview

In this fifth installment of Steve Alten's New York Times bestselling MEG series--the basis for the feature film The Meg, starring Jason Statham as Jonas Taylor--Nighstalkers picks up where MEG: Hell's Aquarium left off.

Bela and Lizzy, the dominant Megalodon siblings from Angel's brood, have escaped the Tanaka Institute to roam the Salish Sea in British Columbia. While Jonas Taylor and his friend Mac attempt to either recapture or kill the sisters, Jonas's son, David, embarks on his own adventure, motivated by revenge. Having witnessed his girlfriend's gruesome death, David has joined a Dubai Prince's ocean expedition, tracking the 120-foot, hundred-ton Liopleurodon that escaped from the Panthalassa Sea. Haunted by night terrors, David repeatedly risks his life to lure the Lio and other prehistoric sea creatures into the fleet's nets, while battling his own suicidal demons.

Steve Alten weaves these storylines together in a page-turning thriller that culminates in a final showdown between the most dangerous predators ever to inhabit the planet.

Customer Reviews

More prehistoric sea beasts... continuing an amazing story.

With very little time gap between the end of Hell's Aquarium and Nightstalkers, it truly felt like a seamless continuation and the beginning of a revenge mission. No matter what, it feels like our characters can't ever get their happily ever afters, we just keep hoping. Still looking for Liopleurodon, tracking down 2 Megs, happening upon an upset Mosasaur, and finding a grouchy grand-daddy of prehistoric whaledom.... this is a high velocity ride by a superb storyteller!

Exciting action~ will make a great movie

A lot of action. You feel like you're in the tank with the megalodon.
