Megalodon

Very unusual and entertaining novel about things which live in the sea ... Robin Brown is an expert on marine biology, particularly that of cetaceans such as whales and dolphins, and uses some of his knowledge to create this fascinating story. The Megalodon was an immense prehistoric shark which is known to have existed millions of years ago; fossils of its enormous teeth have been found in rocks which are now on land but formed part of the seabed long before man existed. The premise of the story is that a small group of these enormous creatures, currently believed to be extinct, have survived like the coelacanth in the depths of the oceans. The first that humans know of something very large and powerful in the sea is the unexplained loss of a nuclear submarine. When a giant shark's tooth is found in the wreck, a team of marine biologists are brought in to investigate. The real heroes of the book are the cetacean members of the team - dolphins Doris and Macho, and a killer whale called Morgan. Strongly recommended.

So, you've waited a full five years for the JAWS craze to pass, and you think you can do better, so what do you do to make your own super-shark book original? Simple! Multiply the shark's length by 8, add a very different setting, and let the carnage begin! This was actually the first of the fictionous MEGALODON books ever around, and it really isn't a bad one. Its got this really big research boat over this really deep ocean. The americans on the really big boat see a gold mine at the bottom, and have decided to send their Ohio-class submarine down for a look-see. Unfortunatly, they find not gold but a bloated, mossy shark that proceeds to kill them all. The trouble with the Americans is that they just don't know when to quit, as more and more people go down in metal things and find themselves dead or in very deep trouble. In the first chapter, you are led to believe that believing in the megalodon will be a quick, easy process, but really, nobody believes it till the final pages. All in all, if you even marginally like these books, pick it up if you can find it at a book fair something. I can guarentee you it won't cost that much

i thought that the book did not have engouh love and care for the sharks i think you should treat sharks with more respect they are not cold blooded killers they are just hunting for food not killing for fun like most humans sharks have been around longer then humans and i think we should treat them with the respect that they need and want
