FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
With Shark Tales This Good, Who Needs to Get Back in the Water?
West Palm Beach, FL, April 17, 2023 — New York Times bestselling author Steve Alten breathed new life into an extinct, 70-foot prehistoric shark with the release of his first terrifying tale of the deep, MEG, in the summer of 1997. Six novels, millions of books sold, and a hit movie (The MEG) later, he’s paving the way for the upcoming sequel, MEG-2: The Trench, by announcing something MEG fans have been requesting from him for years: a collector’s edition set.
Appropriately titled MEG: Legacy, the seven-volume set covers a quarter century of Alten’s ocean aberrations. Each (faux) leather-bound book contains one of the six (soon-to-be seven) MEG novels, plus one of the six comics that make up MEG: The Graphic Novel. The prequel, MEG: Origins, has been woven into the first book to create a new 25th anniversary edition. Other features and bonuses include two never-before-released Angel of Death novellas, new MEG artwork, photos and commentary from the author.
“MEG: Legacy is my gift to my most dedicated readers, the ‘MEGheads,’” Alten said. “Only 5,000 sets are being printed, and they won’t be sold in stores or on Amazon — only on my website, SteveAlten.com.”
Fans can pre-order each book individually, or pre-order the entire seven-volume set. Part of the proceeds from MEG: Legacy are being donated to support an innovative cancer protocol. Alten himself was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer.
