Publisher's summary

There is something in the deep. Something large. Something hungry. Something prehistoric. And Team Grendel must find it, fight it, and kill it.

Kinsey Thorne, the first female US Navy SEAL candidate has hit rock bottom. Having washed out of the Navy, she turned to every drink and drug she could get her hands on. Until her father and cousins, all ex-Navy SEALS themselves, offer her a way back into the life: as part of a private, elite combat team being put together to find and hunt down an impossible monster in the Indian Ocean. Kinsey has a second chance, but can she live through it?

Grab-A** galore

Professional Seal vets ragging on each other all the time. No chain of command.
“Abandon ship it’s every man for himself.” Thumbs down.

Definitely Gonna Need a Bigger Boat;)

Great action/adventure read.... Finished in one sitting and was deliriously happy to see book 2 out the day after I finished this one... Tight plotting w/ exceptional characters, and I do mean characters... Especially liked the stoner smart alec brothers;). Personally like better than the standard shark fare out there... Military aspects come off well w/o overdoing it... Narration suits the story and adds to the experience... Worth the credit and a binge read;). You’ll wanna move right on to the second in the series...

Fast paced, but not enough shark

This was included on audible, so I have it a go. If you can’t tell in recent years, I’m definitely on an ocean/shark journey (Jaws, all of the Meg series, Megalodon: Bloodbath).

This was a bit confusing honestly. Where almost all of those I named above feature something other than just sharks, be it the mafia, rich overlords, drug cartels, competitor countries, and more, this novel felt almost entirely about something else. It begins with a focus on Somali pirates, where someone is hired to create a group of people that can rescue hostages. While the first mysterious siting of the beast happens here, it is then gone for such a huge portion of the story as to be forgotten.

The shark, the meg, is a clone, as of course the original species is long extinct, and while each of these books tend to search for a reason why there’s a killer beast on the loose (especially the extinct prehistoric kind) this one spent so long in getting to the point that it kind of erases the threat.

The end itself does have some of the desired killer shark energy I was so invested for, so at least I got that. It is however, kind of outlandish (even for a megalodon) in a kind of almost ‘original idea for Jurassic Park 4 plot’ way—think militarized dinosaurs…

Although it mostly lacked what I was looking for, it does have some strong characters, as well as character development, within the crew of navy seals, and it was fast paced enough to enjoy.

Giant Sharks!

I’ve read the whole Team Grendel series and loved it. Now that I’ve started listening to audiobooks I knew this was a series that couldn’t be missed. Big sharks and people who get entangled in that world make for an exciting story.

Love it!

A wonderful adventure series. I especially enjoyed getting to know the team. And I’m on my way to book two. Great job and narration too.

A little hokey but fun

A 70ft shark is far more believable than somebody shooting an rpg mid flight from a moving helecopter, but a decent story and a fun book to listen to.

So much fun!

I listened to the original recording of this audiobook and found it decent, but nothing thrilling. However, as a fan of Jake Bible I saw he had a following with this series. With a new narrator, and renewed enthusiasm from him and the base, I gave it another shot. I’ve made some stupid decisions in life, but this was not one of them!

Neil Hellegers crushed this performance. He brought an entirely new attitude to the characters that conveyed the type of enjoyment I was hoping for from the original. What a difference the right narrator can make!

I read this before but forgot to write the review.( I often read/listen to a few then review them all at the same time.) I bought the audible thinking I hadn't read it yet. I enjoyed it again! 😁
I liked the twists, action, suspense, and characters. The characters weren't as personable as other of his books.
The narrator was not right for this book in my opinion. He was okay and I could hear him as a narrator for other books but just not this one.

The opinions of the characters

How can a book about a giant shark be so boring & preachy took forever to get through this book
