Books like Nightstalkers by Steve Alten

Nightstalkers, the fifth entry in the MEG series, follows the escape of Megalodon siblings Bela and Lizzy from the Tanaka Institute as they roam the waters of the Salish Sea in British Columbia. Jonas Taylor and his ally Mac strive to recapture or eliminate the “sisters,” while Jonas’s son, David, embarks on a vengeance‑driven mission. After the death of his girlfriend, David joins a Dubai‑based ocean expedition to hunt a massive 120‑foot, hundred‑ton Liopleurodon that has escaped from the Panthalassa Sea. Squadroned against the creature, he faces haunting nightmares and a personal battle with suicidal thoughts as he risks his life to lure the Liopleurodon and other prehistoric sea creatures into the fleet’s nets. The novel blends action‑packed marine‑adventure with the terror and mystery of ancient predators, continuing the high‑stakes confrontations that define the MEG saga.
