Sharkman

Kwan Wilson was a high school basketball star living in San Diego when a tragic accident changed his life in ways no one could predict. He only looked at his phone for a few seconds, but that was all the time it took to crash his car into a telephone pole, killing his mother and paralyzing him from the waist down.

After the accident his father, Admiral Douglas Wilson, sent him off to live with his maternal grandmother in South Florida. Kwan's new principal, anticipating his depression and isolation, tells him about an internship at a genetics lab in Miami that is testing shark stem cells on rats in an effort to cure cancer and repair spinal injuries. Kwan declines until he learns the beautiful Anya Patel is an intern at the lab.

When Kwan takes the internship, he learns that the good news is that the stem cells are curing their rat subjects; the bad news is it alters their DNA so much it kills them. But after a promising breakthrough is made, Kwan risks his life and injects himself with the experimental stem cells, forever altering his destiny and the lives of millions in the process.

Editorial Reviews

Dennis Palumbo

A fast-paced thriller. .. Alten gives a scientific twist to an old, enduring myth.. .. Michael Crichton meets Dan Brown beneath the waves of Loch Ness.

New York Post

Praise for Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror An adrenaline-pumping thriller.

James Rollins

Praise for Domain A chilling, deeply researched peek into our ancient past. Jarring, frightening, thrilling. .. What more could you ask?

Washington Daily News

Praise for The Loch With The Loch, Steve Alten combines meticulous research with riveting storytelling to craft a new genre—the historical science fiction thriller.

She Treds Softly

The. .. plot. .. point[s] to this being a solid YA thriller and it might greatly appeal to YA readers interested in a different kind of superhero.

RibiconReader

Sometimes it’s the books with the weirdest premises that turn out to be the best ones. This one certainly is. Steve Alten serves up another of his fast-paced thrill rides that is so good, it makes it impossible to do anything else.. .. It’s a magnificent feeling to find a book that you hate to put down. Then again, Steve’s writing has always done that for me.. .. The science is uber-complex but Steve makes it understandable and fun on a layman’s level.. .. Don’t pass this book up because it’s ‘something that you would not normally read’. If you do then you are missing out on an author who has that 'grab the reader' gift that so many claim, yet few actually possess.

Owl Goingback

The Loch is a compelling page-turner. I couldn’t put it down. Steve Alten has proven to be a literary master of the abyss.

Kevin J. Anderson

With the storytelling sensibilities of Crichton and Cussler, Alten sure knows how to write a thriller.

New York Post

Praise for Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror

An adrenaline-pumping thriller.
