No cabe duda de que era el cazador supremo del planeta. Era capaz de devorar a un Tiranosaurio Rex en escasos segundos y, aunque se sabe que sobrevivió a los cataclismos que provocaron la extinción de los dinosaurios. se supone que no ha llegado a nuestros días.

The events of September 11th, 2001, the invasion of Iraq, and the threat of radical Islam all converge on a critical issue: oil, and the world is running out. This gripping tale serves as a cautionary narrative about a future deception that could trigger a retaliatory chemical weapons strike on Iran and its terrorist affiliates. While framed as fiction, the story is infused with realistic insights from insiders in the oil industry, military, and Middle Eastern affairs, drawing parallels between past and present events that could lead us toward self-destruction.
Set in 2007, the narrative begins with two CIA agents meeting an American Colonel amidst a deteriorating war situation. President Bush remains unyielding, while political tensions rise ahead of the 2008 elections. Iran's pursuit of nuclear energy poses a looming threat, with enriched uranium potentially leading to suitcase bombs. The U.S. military lacks the capacity for invasion, and a preemptive strike hinges on a catastrophic event, such as a nuclear detonation traced back to Iran, which could justify a massive retaliation against radical Islam.
By December 2011, oil expert Ashley Ace Futrell finds himself entangled in a web of deceit when his wife, Kelli Doyle, a former National Security Advisor, threatens to reveal the dangerous plot. As Ace navigates this treacherous landscape, he realizes that the orchestrated lies of a powerful few could usher in catastrophic c

Pod Filipínskou tektonickou deskou leží pravěké moře Panthalassa s původními obyvateli – ohromnými predátory. Megalodon, jeden z nich, je chován v zajetí v mořském akváriu v Monterey, jeho mláďata v akváriu v Dubaji. Sledujme hrůzné epizody spojené s chovem nebezpečného dravce, a napínavou cestu ponorky do hlubin Panthalassy s úkolem objevit a chytat další dosud neznámé exempláře z „pradávných vod".
Osmnáct let uplynulo od chvíle, kdy Anděla, žraločí samice druhu Megalodon, uprchla z Tanakovy laguny a vrátila se do Marianského příkopu. Dobrodruh Jonas Taylor se mezitím stal mužem středního věku a otcem dvou dětí, zavaleným horou účtů a každodenními starostmi o rodinu. Ale v jeho životě se chystá změna. Jeden hollywoodský televizní producent chce, aby se Jonas objevil v jeho novém dobrodružném seriálu Odvážlivci. Dalších šest týdnů se pak dva týmy výstředních odvážlivců snaží před televizními kamerami na palubě repliky španělské galeony v jižním Pacifiku zvítězit jeden nad druhým. Jonas potřebuje peníze, a práce mu připadá docela snadná: jeho úkolem je doplňovat barvitý komentář pro televizní show. Avšak za scénou je kdosi jiný, kdo tahá za nitky. A než všechno skončí, Jonas, Terry a Mac se opět ocitnou tváří v tvář nejnebezpečnějšímu tvoru, jaký kdy na zemi existoval.
