![]() ![]() ![]() There’s another cameo by a giant Moby Dick whale as well as some prehistoric fish with livers that can cure cancer (it wouldn’t be a Steve Alten book if it didn’t go full on crazy at some point) but the Lio gets the bulk of the drama moving the plot. ![]() Much of the plot of Meg: Generations (Goodreads lists the book as just Generations (Meg #6) but the cover has the word Meg the largest on it and I’m sticking with that) revolves around recapturing the liopleurodon after it had previously been captured by David Taylor but not retained by the owners of a Dubai amustment park built around the attraction. ![]() My chief complaint with this book continues to be the over reliance of the Liopleurodon storyline which has never seemed as interesting to me as the megalodon stuff. Still, this ended up being an average entry in the series and not one of the standouts. Meg: Generations gets somewhat back to basics, eliminating a lot of the craziest science fiction stuff in favor of giant sea monster moments. I wasn’t a huge fan of that book because of it’s tie in to some ridiculous time travel elements from Alten’s Vostok and its replacing of the Megalodon creature with a Liopleurodon creature for most of the book’s big action scenes. It felt like it had been awhile since I read a Meg book, but looking at the publication dates it’s only been about three years since Meg: Nightstalkers came out. ![]()
