By: Steve Alten

Narrated by: Keith Szarabajka

Length: 12 hrs and 42 mins

Publisher's summary

The Philippine Sea Plate is the deepest, most unexplored realm on the planet. 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 inhabited by nightmarish species of sea creatures long believed extinct.

Tanaka Institute, Monterey, CA: Angel, the recaptured 76-foot, 100,000-pound Megalodon, has birthed a litter of pups - five females - far too numerous and aggressive to keep in one pen. One solution: a Dubai royal prince is building the largest aquarium in the world and seeks to purchase two of the "runts".

The deal hinges on hiring Jonas Taylor's 21-year-old son, David, to be their trainer. Jonas reluctantly agrees, and David is off to Dubai for the summer of his life - not realizing he is being set up to lead an expedition that will hunt down and capture the most dangerous creatures ever to inhabit the planet.

MOVIE

I hope this gets made for a movie or a three part mini series because all the meg series have to be included.

Fun read

narrator is decent, better than first 2 books of the series, like the new charactor,David's buddy.new Creatures are cool .I like the new subs and Technology

Underwater adventure with giant dinosaurs.

This one introduces huge new beasts of the deep and they are amazing. The amount of research that had to have gone into this story is very exciting. Alten's book are always adventurous and well paced. Highly recommend.

Excellent!!

By far my favorite of the entire MEG series! I also enjoyed this narrators performance much more this time than I did in MEG Primal Waters. Definitely recommend this book!

Awesome book. Love the series.

Cannot get enough of this series. It's jaw dropping action and horror. 10/10 Cannot recommend enough.

: I never thought I would Get attached to some make believe sharks but I did

good book

loved it. it left me in suspense, and I can't wait for the next one

Wanted Deep Blue Sea meets Meg

Where’s the fast paced, pulpy goodness of the movie Meg? This summary teased a bunch of giant, killer sharks running amok in a huge aquarium, and I immediately shipped Meg with Deep Blue Sea. But, between the writing and the low, gravelly voiced narration, this book just dragged. Yes, it’s free, but it still wasn’t worth the 13 hr listen.

Excitement and suspense!

MEG: Hell's Aquarium
by Steve Alten
One of my frivolous delights is a monstrous-type book to read at night like a late night B movie I use to watch as a kid! Popcorn and a monster book at night is so devilishly fun! A no-brainer, just lots of thrills and fascination! Especially if it's an extinct creature! This is perfect for that category! Lots of suspense, giant megalodon, and more giant creatures! Unpredictable and exciting! Great narration!

Really great read

I loved this story and the voice of the reader is outstanding. The plot is preposterous but it works. Can’t wait for the next story.

what a narrator

this had me gripped from start to finish awsome a must listen great book loved it

love this book

I've read this book several times and was ecstatic to find it on here. I'll definitely be listening to it again and I can't wait to finish the rest of the series

great story and performance,

Fantastic story!!
there's a few errors that were missed in editing but great! five star

Great book

This is, as always with the 'meg' series a great book, maybe the story jumps locations back and forth a bit much, but that does not detract from a fascinating story.

If you enjoy the other books in the 'meg' series you won't be disappointed Steve Alten has conjured up another deep sea nightmare.

I am seriously happy that 'The Loch' and 'Vostok' have been released as these will nicely join a few of the Meg books and characters together.

Thank you, please release the rest of the Meg Series soon!!!!!

Great

Loved it. A little slow in the start but shark vs dinosaurs what else do you need to know.

Fantastic

I am gripped by this series of books. Fantastic. Well worth the listen. On to the next book

Unbelievable yet brilliant

A great story for lovers of this series, Jaws, or similar! Accurate with technical details too making it a great listen!

Best of the series

Great story telling,let your mind and ears take you there.GREAT! I loved it.you will too.

Loving the series

Enjoyed the book but there were some factual errors contained within….didn’t matter though. It’s a load of enjoyable escapism which passes my dog walking time …not to be taken seriously just enjoyed for what it is. On to the next one.

What the...

OK, I've always been a softie when animals are concerned, anything from Watership Down to King Kong real or animated, can't watch/read, won't watch/read. So bad, that no newspapers or TV here, between the donkey adverts and RSPCA etc just too much for me, people, nah, not bothered, and love a good gory thriller. So I thought, Megladon, it'll be OK, they're not exactly cuddly huh! Oh the tears! Won't give the plot away, but my eyes leaked more than once (yep, I'm that soft) Mr Alten has researched his subjects and listening to any of the Meg books is a lesson, yes he has his little annoying things as I find a lot of authors have, using same descriptions etc, but oh how he made me feel for some characters, despise others and fall in love with the majestic Megladon! Not recommended for the faint of heart as there's graphic descriptions, but these don't seem to have been to shock for shocking sake, but more to make the listener understand just how powerful, and diverse Mother Nature is and we're really not all that. We've interfered and destroyed for knowledge seemingly, and for whatever reason believe we're the higher power. Sometimes I'm embarrassed to be called a human being. Everything has a purpose and the balance shouldn't be interfered with.
Mr Alten you are amazing, and thank you audible. Rant over.....carry on. 🤗
