Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Absolutely nothing like it! A not-so-fictional story based on modern day known facts and compelling evidence leading to a yet unproven discovery of a prehistoric shark, Carcharadon Megalodon.

From the Inside Flap

DESTROY!!! Instinct demanded it! The SIXTY-FOOT SHARK rolled back its eyes to protect those precious vision ports and expanded its cavernous mouth, exposing row-upon-row of nine-inch, razor-edged teeth. Erupting through glassy-calm water, the gigantic creature assaulted the 27-foot cruiser with thunderous impact. Flung violently against the hull, Harold Hawkins' head exploded in viscous blood and pasty, gray brain matter. Monstrous teeth split Joe Mason's head like a meat cleaver and their ivory companions sliced him from nose to hip. Hawkins' legs and right arm, severed by the initial bite, were sucked down a waiting gullet. Those incomprehensible jaws ripped savagely through his head and left shoulder while slamming shut again and again. Flesh, bone, and boat disintegrated under the ferocious attack until the intolerable, aggravating sound that had filled the shark's domain was finally silenced. Ten million years of instinctive, predatory skills destroyed a persistent, throbbing noise that infuriated it so. The brief, but violent commotion ended in seconds and the sea covered her secrets. Fifty tons of Megalodon and its obliterated victims vanished. Then . . . only calm.

1.0 out of 5 stars I have a signed copy of this book, August 24, 2004
This review is from: Quest for Megalodon (Paperback)
I met Tom Dade on an oilfield construction project. He was acting in the capacity of a Diving Consultant for the oil company and I was a Project Administrator for the oilfield construction company.

Tom kept going on and on about his book, so finally I decided to buy a copy from him just to shut him up. All he could really supply in the way of a review of his book was that the shark was bigger than the shark in Peter Benchley's "Jaws". I believe that this is even in the book review just inside the cover.

I made a promise to myself a long time ago that I would never start a book and not finish it. This book made me regret that promise.

If you like fish stories that are "the bigger the better" without all the scientific jargon, then by all means read this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great, another MEG, June 22, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Quest for Megalodon (Paperback)
Well, just when you thought it was safe to go to the bookstore, another laughable novel about a giant man-eating shark. Definitly a wannabe, if not incoherant copy of Jaws. When will this "Megaladon lives!" kick be over?
