NOW A MAJOR HOLLYWOOD MOVIE STARRING JASON STATHAM.

THE MEG MAY BE DEAD. BUT HER SPAWN IS BACK FOR A SECOND BITE…

Four years have passed since the death of the Meg, a giant prehistoric Megalodon shark with a taste for human flesh.

Former Naval Commander Jonas Taylor, survivor of the Meg’s wrath, now houses her one surviving offspring at the Tanaka Institute. Deeply in debt, Taylor has turned to an eccentric billionaire to help fund the Institute, but it comes at a heavy price. And this time, it's not just the sharks he has to watch out for.

Soon, Taylor must once again face monsters of unimaginable power. The Meg may be dead, but her spawn has now grown to a monstrous size – and shares her mother’s bloodthirsty tastes…

A high-stakes, fast-paced adventure thriller, perfect for anyone who loves disaster movies or authors like Matthew Reilly and Michael Crichton.
