The Trench (MEG, #2)The Trench by Steve Alten
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Oh, wow, what did I just read? Was this about a megashark or was it REALLY a discount-rate James Bond adventure under the sea?

Hmmm. Not telling!

*looks to either side, then up and to the left*

Really! It's NOT just a discount-rate James Bond adventure with hokey science, stretchable wild situations, Russian femme fatales, or overblown (and frankly boring) manufactured pathos.

Truly.

Ah, well, my megashark has interesting competition/snacks. Am I talking about another Trench species, or am I talking about the poor peeps in the novel?

I will leave you with that image.
