If you thought watching the blockbuster movie The MEG, which plunged viewers headfirst into the waiting jaws of a Megalodon in the Mariana Trench, was thrilling, imagine immersing yourself in an interactive world ruled by prehistoric sea creatures and taking part in the heart-pounding action! Steve Alten, the author of the NY Times bestselling MEG series, has created a world like no other.

Why place a virtual island resort here? That’s where Alten’s research
