Mega 2

Mega Series, Book 2

By: Jake Bible

Narrated by: Neil Hellegers

Team Grendel is back, and this time, they have double the monster sharks and double the trouble as a drug cartel and the Mexican Navy are both ready to blow the Beowulf III out of the water!

When a top secret, undercover mission goes wrong for one of the company's operatives, Ballantine must call on Team Grendel and the crew of the Beowulf III to take down a drug lord and stop Southern California from being overrun by a new substance more addictive and deadly than any drug on the planet. But things are never that simple as Team Grendel find they are under siege by cloned Megalodon sharks that developed a taste for the new substance, sending the monsters on a drug fueled rampage of bloody violence along the Baja Mexico coastline!

Blood is in the water, and the feeding frenzy is on!

Very Fun Series

This book pics up nearly a year after book 1. Things have been going well for the individual members of Team Grendel. When they reunite for their next mission, however, they are thrust into an extremely intense situation almost immediately. In this story, the world’s most dangerous animal takes center stage; man. There are more mega sharks (plural), and a new foe to overcome.
This story is not quite as good as the first. It is probably because the bulk of the events occur over a single day. It just seems too chaotic for such a short time period. It is definitely still a very good story, but unrealistically brief. Even Jack Bauer would say there is too much going on in a single day. That is the only complaint, and if it were to have occurred over two days there would be less of an issue, though still a bit quick.
Neil Helligers has nailed this series. He is definitely an excellent choice to re-record this series!

Shark Brains on Drugs;)

Every bit as good as the first in the series... Outta this world action, banter, and characters... Damned near impossible to put down and the best kinda binge read... When you’re not grinning, or outright laughing, you’ll be scooching to the edge of your seat in anticipation and anxiety...

the storyline is good but I enjoy the characters

my favorite part are the brothers and their hilarious conversations. I enjoy Darby too. And Max.

Just as fun as the first

More sharks - more mayhem! Just as enjoyable as the first book. Love the dialogue. I’m off to start book three in this series.

Predictable

The first book was great, but I can’t recommend the second and I’m not going to continue with the series.

I don’t require a book to be “great literature” and some predictability is okay; but when the story line requires “supposed” professional Navy Seals and very experienced leaders to be unprepared for the bad guys to act like bad guys, I draw the line.

I don’t expect the hero’s to be perfect, or all-knowing, but it’s insulting when the writer goes against character to further the story.

Spoiler alert: I am referring to the part when the cartel boards the hero’s ship. Way too predictable.
