MY REVIEW
I have no desire to go deep. Imploding and drowning is a big fear of mine. And let’s not forget that the oceans are one of the last places for discovery on the planet. If you thought a seventy-five foot megalodon was bad, wait til you get a gander at what’s lurking in the Philippine Plate. Or I should say, what’s beneath it.
What does this have to do with Jonas, you ask. Isn’t he busy dealing with Angel and her five female pups? They’re outgrowing their pen and the risk of escape is looming over his head. Jonas sells the two smallest of the litter to a rich Dubai prince but there’s one condition holding up the deal. The prince wants Jonas’s son, David, to come take care of the sharks in Dubai. Distracted and desperate, Jonas agrees. Uh oh.
From both sides of the globe humans were on the menu. The megalodon was believed to be extinct and it made it’s bloody appearance. If you could believe it, what’s discovered next was even more deadly. I said bring it on and Alten did it. The series kept giving me what I wanted.

Synopsis
The Philippine Sea Plate: — The most unexplored realm on the planet. Surrounded by subduction zones and no less than six abyssal gorges — including the seven-mile-deep, 1,500 mile long Mariana Trench — the sea is also home to an incredibly anomaly, for hidden beneath its primordial crust lies the remains of the Phantalassa, an ocean that dates back 220 million years. vast and isolated, the Phantalassa is a purgatory of existence, inhabited by nightmarish sea creatures long believed extinct.
Tanaka Institute, Monterey, CA:
Four years have passed since Angel, the 76-foot, 100,000 pound Megalodon returned from the Mariana Trench to birth her litter of pups — five females — far too numerous and aggressive to keep in one pen. As accidents mounts, one solutions presents itself: 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 twenty-one year old son, David, to be their handler.
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 Earth.
