Description

They thought it was over. But it's only just beginning. For the first time, the captive 20-ton Megalodon shark has tasted human blood, and it wants more... Four years after the incident at the Mariana Trench that unleashed a pregnant Megaladon, Meg, the giant prehistoric great white shark, is dead, and Jonas Taylor now houses her one surviving offspring at the Tanaka Institute. But Meg's spawn is now grown to a monstrous size and she's ready to breed... Deep in debt, Taylor has turned to an eccentric billionaire to help keep the institute afloat, but it doesn't come without a price. Drawn into a web of deceit and lies, plagued by nightmares of his own death, Taylor must once again face frightening monsters of unimaginable power. And this time, it's not just the sharks he has to watch out for...
