About the author
Steve Alten
63 books1,361 followersSteve Alten grew up in Philadelphia, earning his Bachelors degree in Physical Education at Penn State University, a Masters Degree in Sports Medicine from the University of Delaware, and a Doctorate of Education at Temple University. Struggling to support his family of five, he decided to pen a novel he had been thinking about for years. Working late nights and on weekends, he eventually finished MEG; A Novel of Deep Terror. Steve sold his car to pay for editing fees. On September (Friday) the 13th, 1996, Steve lost his general manager’s job at a wholesale meat plant. Four days later his agent had a two-book, seven figure deal with Bantam Doubleday.
MEG would go on to become the book of the 1996 Frankfurt book fair, where it eventually sold to more than a twenty countries. MEG hit every major best-seller list, including #19 on the New York Times list (#7 audio), and became a popular radio series in Japan.
Steve’s second release, The TRENCH (Meg sequel) was published by Kensington/Pinnacle in 1999 where it also hit best-seller status. His next novel, DOMAIN and its sequel, RESURRECTION were published by St. Martin’s Press/Tor Books and were runaway best-sellers in Spain, Mexico, Germany, and Italy, with the rights selling to more than a dozen countries.
Steve’s fourth novel, GOLIATH, received rave reviews and was a big hit in Germany. It is being considered for a TV series. MEG: Primal Waters was published in the summer of 2004. A year later his seventh novel, The LOCH, hit stores — a modern-day thriller about the Loch Ness Monster. Steve’s eighth novel, The SHELL GAME, is about the end of oil and the next 9/11 event. The book was another NY Times best-seller, but the stress of penning this real-life story affected Steve’s health, and three months after he finished the manuscript he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Steve’s ninth novel, MEG: Hell’s Aquarium, is considered to be the best of the best-selling MEG series. Steve says his best novel is GRIM REAPER: End of Days. The story, a modern-day Dante’s Inferno, takes place in New York when a man-made plague strikes Manhattan.
Steve’s novels are action-packed and very visual. He has optioned DOMAIN, MEG and The LOCH to film producers. Steve has written six original screenplays. His comedy, HARLEM SHUFFLE was a semi-finalist in the LA screenwriting contest, his comedy MINTZ MEATS was selected as a finalist at the Philadelphia film festival as was his psychological thriller, STRANGLEHOLD. Steve’s reality series, HOUSE OF BABEL won at Scriptapalooza. He has also created a TV Drama, PAPA JOHN, based on his years coaching basketball with Hall of Fame coach John Chaney.
Over the years, Steve has been inundated with e-mail from teens who hated reading …until they read his novels. When he learned high school teachers were actually using his books in the classroom (MEG had been rated #1 book for reluctant readers) Steve launched Adopt-An-Author, a nationwide non-profit program designed to encourage students to read. Teachers who register for the program (it’s free) receive giant shark posters, free curriculum materials, student-author correspondence, an interactive website, and classroom conference calls/visits with the author. To date, over 10,000 teachers have registered, and the success rate in getting teens to read has been unprecedented. Steve now spends half his work week working with high schools.

As an author, Steve has two goals. First, to continue to work hard to become a better storyteller and create exciting page turning thrillers. Second, to remain accessible to his readers. Steve reads and answers all e-mails, uses the names and descriptions of his loyal fans as characters in all his novels, and even hires readers as editors, depending on their particular expertise.

For completionists.
The events in this novella take place between the first and the second novel in the series. It starts pretty much where book one ended. Jonas is still digesting his last encounter with the Meg and the main protagonists of the series are trying to figure out how to deal with the captured Meg pup, and how to turn the Tanaka Oceanographic Institute into a profitable business.
There’s also a little bit of action, including surfers that are in the wrong place at the wrong time and helicopters that can’t help exploding. So nothing new really. And while this is only the first of several planned novellas, the question remains how much these books will be able to add to the story of the main series. Probably not much. I suppose they will mainly provide some bite-sized entertainment centered around the characters we already know. This one here was moderately successful in delivering that. There were actually a few too many characters in a few too little pages here. It felt a little disjointed.
2.5 stars, rounded down.
At this point I’d say you can skip this. But let’s see what's going to happen in the next one.

This is part of a series and it takes place at the end of the first book. The Meg is in captivity but now what? How does the gang handle this new and unexpected situation and what are the benefits.
I liked this short story even though it added nothing new to the lore. It was a little disjointed but I didn't care as once again I was in this universe. The disjointed parts came about as the author introduced new characters. I thought this was a little weird in a short story. I want to know about Jonas, Terry, Mac, and obviously Angel. I don't want to know new characters or about the sister of Jonas' wife contesting the sale of a house. I did like seeing the fist days of Angel in captivity and the struggle of her survival. Also, the point of view from the shark put a smile on my face.
This is not essential reading for this universe. It isn't the greatest written novella either. That being said, I enjoyed it as once again I get to spend time with one of my favorite main characters which is Angel the shark.

Meg, Angel of Death
By Steve Alten
This was very short. I haven't read book 1, but this is book 1.1. This is about a baby pup that was captured, and the people in the story have big plans for it. The pup is confused and malnourished. I can't help but feel sorry for it.

To Repetitive of earlier books, too disjointed
First half of the book the story is too repetitive of earlier books, all the way threw the book I felt it very disjointed. The story would jump to other things without explanation.
I feel the author has written this book to drag out the main series, very predictable, no suspense or excitement that their is in the other meg books.
I read this on my Amazon prime for free, sadly I will not be purchasing this book and dout I will be waiting for the second instalment.
It's annoying when authors have a great series in a book, but end up dragging the whole series out. I'm not sure why he has done this but it's disappointing for authors to do this

The last of the series for me that was waiting to be completed. When the others were all free, this one wasn’t, and as a novella, I didn’t think it was worth a credit. But it was part of that last audible sale for only $2 so I grabbed it.
This is a novella that showcases the struggles behind getting the Tanaka Institute up and running after the capture of the meg pup at the end of book 1.
They are struggling with electrical problems, management problems, and especially financial problems. They have no money and the megalodon’s pen needs an awful lot of work. Just like with many real large sharks in captivity, there isn’t enough circulating water for her, and she struggles to survive. Which is obviously a huge issue in itself, but they also have no money to feed her.
The set up itself is kind of cool, and I’ll be honest, I was definitely thinking about more of the series after some time away from it, but this wasn’t all that great. It seems like the author just can’t leave stuff alone. Outside the institute, one side is covered in sea lions, the other, filled with surfers looking to take advantage of the large waves. Naturally theres a huge great white attacking them. Oh, and a cookie cutter shark bites a diver…because you know, the megalodon isn't enough. Every shark is just super blood thirsty.
The Meg pup gets some food finally and then they are unexpectedly saved by a huge donor. It just kind of tells you how it ends without revealing anything, which makes it super bland.
Apparently this story is actually a part one, with at least two more supposed to be coming out, but that seems to have not happened. Or at least not yet. I saw a reviewer on goodreads saying this is just for completionists, and honestly it isn’t necessary at all, so that’s true.

The first of supposed many novellas describing the in-between stories between the Meg novels, this installment to Meg: Angel of Death 1.1 describes just what happens right after the events of the first book and before the second, Meg 2: The Trench.
Jonas Taylor wakes up in the hospital after being “swallowed by the whale-sized” Megalodon. He just wants to go to his home in San Diego, but political maneuverings and the offspring to the Megalodon keeps him in San Francisco. Soon, people start dying, creating a nightmare all over again. But there are those crazed conservationists who will stop at nothing to save the only surviving Megalodon on the planet.
I’m not really sure why I love these “creature features”, but Alten’s Meg series is among the best! And instead of asking stupid introspective questions, I’m just here for the ride!

It's always the same. I get tired of sea and deep sea creatures and stop reading this genre. And after a while I come back and it just feels like home. I really love this series so much not just because the story is mostly great but also because it's one of the few bonds I've to my Dad who recommended me the first book of the Meg series when I was a teen. :')

The events in this novella take place between the first and the second book in the series.
It starts, where book one ended. We get glimpses into Angels(the baby Meg) life in capture.
I still need to read the rest of this series, but I really enjoyed it.

This book is not necessary and adds nothing to the MEG story of substance. Perhaps bits and pieces of this could have been included in MEG 1 as an epilogue, but this stand alone midequal (a sequel story set between one book and another in the series) was just I feel a money grab.
August 18, 2023
The pup's first sensation following its birth was pain. Daylight scorched its sensitive nocturnal eyes and it fled, instinctively following its older sibling into deeper waters. And as the pain subsided and it inhaled the ocean there was only the Now.
I'm not exactly sure why this short novella was published. It's set between the first and second novels of Steve Alten's monster shark series called Meg, two books that came out more than two decades earlier.
It's hard to find much about this spin-off gap-filler called Angel of Death: Survival, focusing on the surviving offspring of the original megalodon after it was captured at the end of the first book. Googling around, I saw old notes that there was something like a trilogy planned at some point of which this would have been the first part, but I genuinely can't tell if this is even still planned or if this project was completely abandoned by now.
Anyway, as it stands now, Alten's late short story continuing right off where the original book ended is a pretty lackluster little extra journey. While I was actually genuinely interested in reading about the management and establishing of the giant aquarium tourist attraction that's meant to hold this megalodon baby, the story didn't give enough substance to really hold my attention. Alten attempts to bring in new characters and adds more backstory to some already existing ones, but most of it feels like telling instead of showing in a way that it seems like a rushed waste of potential. At one point he introduces a new character by recapping their entire life over several pages and I just thought this was a terribly dull way to introduce a potentially interesting character. It felt more like reading the backstory notes an author might put to paper before writing a character into the actual story.
The action is also not as captivating as most of it focuses on some random surfers and divers, which doesn't make for much variety. At least one of the diving teams had an encounter with a goblin shark which is a rare thing in fiction and a very cool choice.
Alten also goes a bit too hard when it comes to the romance with this one. While romantic trouble was already a thing in the original novel, here the main character and his romantic interest from that previous book are in full bloom and it makes for a bunch of awkwardly sexual writing. Definitely not Alten's strong suit.
This wasn't terrible though and it had some decently interesting bits. I still really like when Alten writes from the point of view of the animals and the megalodon baby Angel makes for some interesting paragraphs in that regard.
But in the end, this odd bonus novella in the franchise fails to really add something very memorable to the series and doesn't really enrich the already existing elements.

Author Steve Alten brings us the beginning of a Meg story that takes place in between the events of Meg Book 1 and Meg Book 2: The Trench. Jonas Taylor is having nightmairs from his time in the belly of the Meg that broke through the thermal cline at the challenger deep. Little did we know at the time that Meg was pregnant with pups. Now her surviving pup Angel is at the Tanaka lagoon and Terry and Jonas along with their other business partners are doing all they can to keep the pup alive. Even with the course of events that have put Jonas at odds with his ex-sister-in-law. The meg that birthed the pup has changed their lives forever and there's no going back. One incident after another shows the four of them that caring for the Angel is going to take a lot of work. This is a great novella and I'm looking forward to reading the second one in this sub series of Meg books. I highly recommend this novella to all Jaws and The Meg fans.

The good: I really liked the continuation of the story from book one and the evolution of the community coming together to care for Angel. There were still some elements of horror mixed with suspense; you never knew what was going to happen next or to whom.
The not-so-good: The amount of plot development was minimal compared to the number of plot threads. Overall it was a bit distracting since there wasn't a lot of time for the numerous side stories. It felt like there were enough threads in this short story to have covered in a full-length novel.
The really bad: The interactions between Jonas and Terry felt like a middle schooler wrote it. Terry came off as a competent, mature if brash young woman in the first book, in this short story there is none of that confidence and instead, she acts like a love-sick thirteen-year-old girl. Also, the story ended abruptly with lots of loose ends - hopefully, The Trench will resolve some of these open-ended plot threads.

Very groovy! I like all the pictures. I also like Terry. Where can I find a woman like that? And that Russian woman! Yikes! Who needs that? This story centers around a baby shark (doo doo doo doo doo doo). Lots of folks interested in that shark - I tell you what! If you like the series, this is pretty darn good. It's also short. Great beach reading. Some beach on the Australian coast. I dare you to wiggle your toes in the water while reading it. Well, hell - what can I say but that I enjoyed it. But, I'm me and you're you, so you could probably decide whether or not you should invest the time and ennergy based on the book description. Have at it! And I do hope you enjoy!

As much as I love this series, I don’t see the point of this novella. It takes place during books 1 and 2, but as far as I can tell there was no new storylines.
I guess maybe Maggie’s sister going after Jonas might have been a new plot, but it’s possible that was addressed in book 2. It’s been so long since I read it that I truly don’t remember. But even if that is new content, it doesn’t seem to be enough to carry an entire novella.
Still, I love Angel, so it was nice to be back with her as a baby and remember how it all started.

I'm not sure why this novella was written tbh. It didn't seem to add anything to the overall story especially since the first four or so chapters were a recap of the first book.
The description of women and their strange behaviors continued into this novella as well (i.e. all the women are bombshells and act in ways that either serve men or blatantly trying to make their lives harder)
I also didn't really like that other shark species were attacking humans as well. Kind of felt like we lost the plot there for a second.

I enjoyed relistening to this series, still got issues with the constant push of evolution. But if you can turn that off it's quite enjoyable.
The narrator has some annoying habits, mispronunciation of archipelago and a few other words. Later in the series his accents end up all over the place, especially when he's swapping between Scottish and Arabic accented English.
Will come back to it as and when I want a mindless listen.

I read The Meg and have watched the movie many times. I am super excited to see The Meg 2 and wanted to continue reading the series. This is a short novella that takes place after The Meg but before The Meg 2. It is a quick review of how The Meg ends and focuses on the pup that was caught. Now the challenge is how to keep the pup alive and thriving. Food, finances, and people all are making that difficult.

Man nostalgia really hit with this series. I remember picking up the first book in 6th-7th grade and being obsessed for a book series that was a shark horror and scientific. The author was even kind enough to email me back when I had questions as a kid.
That being said, DAMN these first two books/novellas are so misogynistic and HORNY and I think little me just didn’t even process that there’s a lot of spit swappin and sex talk lmaoooo

Honestly, I'm not sure what to think since this was written quite a bit after the first and second books were out. As someone who hasn't read The Trench yet, I just have to wait and see about how it ties them together. Though I am annoyed that the ending refers to "1.2" book but there IS NO 1.2 BOOK!
February 1, 2024
This is supposed to be set between Meg and Trench, both late 90s. So when he went on about the 2013 car and kids being glued to their phones I was thrown a bit. It could have been so much better by focusing on the challenges of the young Angel instead of padding it out with other small characters.

Filling in the gaps
A great short story in the tradition of all the great Meg novels. Providing
Angel's backstory and filling in the timeline of the previous Meg novel.
Thoroughly enjoying! Can't wait to read next part.

I'm hooked.
As much as I enjoyed the Original novel, MEG, I was not sure if I was going to continue in the series but I am so glad I chose to do so. Steve Alten knows his craft. And I love how he has a talent of using humour among the chaos of the story.

A fun jaunt into the meg universe
