WHAT IS MEG LEGACY?

What began as a tribute to arguably the most successful and endearing giant prehistoric shark series ever written has turned into something far more. It took international bestselling author Steve Alten and his Legacy team (led by senior editor Barb Becker) over a year to test proposed layouts for the seven novel/seven volume series, followed by a dozen edits. It was only then that they realized MEG: LEGACY was far more than the sum of its parts, they had in effect created an entirely new way to tell a story – by experiencing it through multiple mediums – and there’s simply nothing like it.

Each Volume opens with an excerpt from Steve Alten’s unpublished biography describing a rollercoaster ride of amazing opportunities – accompanied by staggering reversals of fortune. Served up next is a Foreward contributed by an eyewitness to the history preceding the calamity-to-come. The novel (or novella — presented in chronological order) is the main course, accentuated by one of the six amazing graphic comics which follow, topped off by a special tribute to the MEGheads and bonus content. All seven volumes will be bound in high-quality ocean-blue faux leather and built to last… the pages etched in silver.

UPDATE:

MEG LEGACY Volume II is being printed as of January 15, 2026. We added something special for Vol. II – a protective interior box to further protect your investment. But the real impact comes from the book’s sheer size… Vol. I was 647 pages… Vol. II is 200 pages longer!

WHY SO LONG?
Each of the seven volumes of LEGACY include its assigned novel and any special features that fall into its timeline. Vol. 2 actually opens with the never-before-published novella, ANGEL of DEATH: SURVIVAL. This really improves the storytelling of the entire series… and the book is so impressive – this is where LEGACY shines.

We are only printing ONE THOUSAND BOOKS, of which 833 were pre-purchased. You will be notified by email when your copy ships, with a tracking number, with monthly updates to follow in the newsletters. After that, we hope to print at least two new volumes a year until we all await the release of MEG: Purgatory in Volume VII which should come out in both LEGACY and a Special hardback edition.

An extremely limited Collector’s Edition:

Only 5,000 sets of Volumes 1 thru 7 will exist, each book numbered and signed. Once we run out of Volume 1 (SOLD OUT indicated on the MEGlegacy.com website), we’ll take names & email addresses of those who missed the Vol. 1 cutoff but are now ready to order. When that list equals 1,000 (the minimum to reprint) to 4,000 (totaling 5,000 – the maximum we can reprint of Vol. 1) we will contact those on the list and send them a link to purchase Vol. 1 so we can go to print.

Anyone who orders Volume 2 (either as a single or Vol 2 to 7 set) will be GUARANTEED a future Volume 1 – be sure be sure to sign up on the waiting list.

Many of you have already purchased Volume 2, either individually or as a set… YOU ARE ALL SET. We will alert you to when books once the shipment reaches the USA or destination countries.

To our International MEGheads:

For years I have been trying to find a way to reduce the insane postage costs for our MEGheads living in Canada and UK, Europe, Asia and the lands down under (Australia & New Zealand) which is often more than the cost of the book.

S & H usually pushes the total sale from $72.69 to $129 to $152 or more. Finally an amazing solution…
