While Jonas Taylor and his friend Mac attempt to either recapture or kill the "sisters," Jonass son, David, embarks on his own adventure, motivated by revenge. Having witnessed his girlfriends gruesome death, David has joined a Dubai Princes ocean expedition, tracking the 120-foot, hundred-ton Liopleurodon that escaped from the Panthalassa Sea. Haunted by night terrors, David repeatedly risks his life to lure the Lio and other prehistoric sea creatures into the fleets nets, while battling his own suicidal demons. Steve Alten weaves these storylines together in a page-turning thriller that culminates in a final showdown between the most dangerous predators ever to inhabit the planet.
