Meg: Hell’s Aquarium

Carcharodon megalodon: A 70-foot, 70,000 pound prehistoric Great White shark — the most fearsome creature that ever lived. . .or is it? In MEG: Hell’s Aquarium, N.Y. Times best-selling author Steve Alten takes readers on a heart-stopping thrill ride of adventure that transcends the boundaries of extinction, offering us a glimpse of Earth’s prehistoric seas and an epic battle between the planet’s two biggest titans . . . modern man just an after-thought on the food chain.

Storyline:

“The Philippine Sea Plate: The most unexplored realm on the planet. Surrounded by subduction zones and no less than six abyssal trenches, the sea is also home to an incredible anomaly. Hidden beneath its ancient crust lies the remains of the Panthalassa, an ocean that dates back 220 million years. Vast and isolated, the Panthalassa is a purgatory of existence, inhabited by nightmarish species of sea creatures long believed extinct.

Now a Dubai royal prince is investing $1.2 billion in what will become the largest theme park aquarium ever conceived. Dubbed “Hell’s Aquarium” the resort will feature six five-star hotels, a monorail linking the park with Dubai’s International Airport and a dozen 2 million gallon tanks — stocked with the most fearsome sea creatures ever to have inhabited the planet…including Carcharodon Megalodon.”
