具体描述
Carcharodon megalodon - apex predator of all time, the most fearsome creature that ever lived - a 70-foot, 60,000 pound Great White Shark. Hundreds of 7-inch serrated teeth filled jaws that could swallow an elephant whole. It could sense its prey miles away, inhaling its scent as it registered the beat of its fluttering heart, and if you ever came close enough to see the monster . . . it was already too late. For Navy deep-sea submersible pilot Jonas Taylor, it nearly was too late. Years ago, on a top-secret dive seven miles down into the Mariana Trench, Jonas came face to face with an ancient monster everyone believed extinct. Having barely escaped with his life, Jonas must prove to the world that Meg still exists. When an opportunity to return to the trench presents itself, he takes it, intent on returning topside with a 7-inch white tooth But man's presence in this unexplored domain releases one of the sharks from its purgatory, and now Jonas is the only one who can stop it.
作者简介
Steve 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 and Mexico. Steve has just optioned the film rights to Manolo Cardova, the #1 actor in Columbia.
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, a thriller about the end of oil and the next 9/11 event. The stress of penning this real-life story affected Steve's health, and three months after he finished the manuscript eh was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. The hardback was released on January 22, 2008 and hit NY Times best-seller status two weeks later. Steve's ninth novel, MEG: Hell's Aquarium, debuted in May 2009 and is considered to be the best of the best-selling MEG series. In June 2009, Steve optioned the dramatic rights to DOMAIN. Steve had previously optioned the dramatic rights to both MEG and The LOCH to Apelles Entertainment and expects a major movie announcement soon!
Steve has written six original screenplays, including three comedies and a psychological thriller, STRANGLEHOLD, which was selected as a finalist in the Philadelphia film festival contest in 2008. He has also created a TV Drama, PAPA JOHN, based on his years coaching basketball with hall of Fame coach John Chaney, and a reality series called HOUSE OF BABEL.
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 9,700 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.

读后感
《巨齿鲨》，一部非常好看的引进版图书，一部颇具想象力的科幻灾难大片。译文准确流畅，内容惊险、悬疑。翻开第一面，一股浓浓的马里亚纳海沟深处的咸腥味迎面扑来，前海军深海潜水艇驾驶员乔纳斯-泰勒 将一只史前怪兽巨齿鲨带到现代人面前。一只史前巨齿鲨，已经被公认灭绝了...
评分孤胆英雄制服史前巨兽、拯救海洋危机，、顺手抱得美人归的精彩故事，最精彩的在于作者如何把握“保护大自然创造的遗产”和“英雄克服过去的梦魇”两者之间的尺度。在同类型小说里是极佳的，也非常期待即将上映的电影。 另外，书中的一些角色并不讨喜，让人想把他们拿去喂鲨鱼的...
评分 评分很久没有看欧美作家的作品了，而且也知道“郭达”和李冰冰拍摄的同名电影颇烂，所以看到这本《巨齿鲨》，起先我是犹豫的，而且开头几十页读得也颇为吃力和无聊，让我担心是不是借错了书。好在坚持往下看之后，才真正发现故事很精彩，很有张力，紧张的气氛营造的很好，各种抓人...
