Summary: Outstanding!!
Comment: Steve Alten has once again written a white-knuckle page turner, from the first page to the last, I could not put it down. Alten really delivers with Primal Waters and doesn't skimp on the details of locations, action, or gory deaths. The most outstanding thing of all about Primal Waters, and Alten's other work, is that he gets his fans involved with what he's doing...that's something that isn't too common. If you are a fan of MEG and THE TRENCH you will not be able to put PRIMAL WATERS down.

Summary: THIS OLD SHARK STILL HAS PLENTY OF BITE!
Comment: MEG: Primal Waters is the third novel in the MEG series (and a fitting wrap up to a nice trilogy). The first two parts MEG and The Trench had their share of strong and weak points. I'm happy to say that Steve Alten's work as an author continues to grow and MEG: Primal Waters excels at delivering lots of fun. This is the perfect novel to read on a beach, next to a pool, or even in the bathtub...if you're near water you'll get goosebumps.
The story revolves around all of the characters from the first two novels in the series and nicely wraps together old plot points while feeling fresh the entire time. Our hero Jonas Taylor (older than the standard American protagonist) gets tangled up in a reality show that wants to incorporate MEGs into the entertainment. At the same time Jonas' wife Terry and their friends and children deal with the appearence of a couple other MEGS. The three stories contiunally entertwine and cliffhang keeping the reader in a perpetual state of suspense. Alten does a nice job of creating new scenarios where bait (usually people) and the Meg(s) continually meet up for a meal. Any fans of the San Francisco Giants will enjoy one chapter in particular.
The pacing and action are top notch and make for one of the fastest 300+ page reads I've had in a long time. The only area that detracts somewhat from the enjoyable story is the character of Danielle (Jonas' daughter). She is so completely out of control and unlikable that it becomes impossible to want to see her in any scenario except being served to a MEG. Protagonists need to have at least a couple of positive features...she has none. But one character does not stop a novel this entertaining.
Swim out to a raft in a big lake and enjoy an afternoon of reading...and hopefully you'll have enough courage to swim back to shore.

Summary: Alten casts his line for huge thrills and lands a big one!!!
Comment: Steve Alten is one of the most thrilling action writers out there, and in Primal Waters he does not let his fans down (many of which are characters throughout)!
From the first page to the last Primal Waters delivers everything a GREAT action novel requires. Good characters, intense action, good writing and not to mention, a HUGE shark!
Once again Jonas must face his fears and dive headfirst into a battle with the most efficient killing machine to ever wander the ocean. This time it's a bit more personal and his family depends on him to come out on top!
If you have not read anything by Mr. Alten then you have missed out, this is just one of the many novels he has churned out that leave you wanting more.
Don't miss Primal Waters or for that matter, any of Altens novels!
