[edit] Plot summary
The events described in this Novel take place about 18 years after the events of the second novel (possible in 2019). Jonas is now in his sixties and lives in Tampa with his wife Terry and two kids. He feels overwhelmed by having to deal with lots of past due bills and is looking for a good opportunity. A Hollywood television producer of a top-rated reality TV show Daredevils, gives him an offer to provide expert commentary in a contest being held in the South Pacific. Taking his daughter with him, Jonas joins the TV show on-board a Spanish Galleon. Meanwhile his wife Terry investigates whale beachings off Vancouver Island. But neither of the spouses are aware that they have entered the latest feeding zones of Megs, as the Angel has returned to surface waters from the trench and is being pursued by more individuals. Also someone behind the scenes of Daredevils has a grudge on Jonas and is planning to use his pet megalodon named Scarface as his tool. In the end, Jonas lures Scarface into killing his own master and Angel is recaptured after being impregnated by and then killing the first male. It is also hinted that something bigger than a megalodon lurks in the deep as well.
