The Trench by Steve AltenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3 stars - on my scale, 3 stars was a good read, but not good enough that I would want to read it again.
This book violated Dann's Dictum for authors. Essentially, don't bother writing a series if you can't have all of the books measure up.
While book one, Meg, was a fantastic read, The Trench simply was not that good. It was an enjoyable read. It was time well spent. It simply was no where as ground breaking or engaging as the first book was.
The ending sort of lost me. The antagonist had apparently gone to a lot of trouble to "train" a megalodon shark to respond to certain noises with the intent of luring the protagonist into the shark's kill zone. It just wasn't a believable ending.
Add to that the fact that very little new information about megalodons was presented in the book and it was only mildly engaging.
