MEG Legacy Limited Edition Series
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Each Volume opens with an excerpt from Steve Alten’s unpublished biography describing a rollercoaster ride of amazing opportunities – accompanied by staggering reversals of fortune.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.
DID YOU KNOW?
When completed, MEG: Legacy is expected to be 3,500 to 3,700 pages in length – the equivalent of having ten new pages of an episodic prehistoric shark thriller waiting for you to read every day… for a year!
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.
Volume 2: Order deadline = MARCH 1, 2025.
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…

FAQ:
STEVE:
IF I MISSED ORDERING VOLUME 1 BUT I NOW WANT THE COMPLETE SET, SHOULD I…
a) ORDER VOLUME 1
b) ORDER A VOLUME 1 REPRINT?
c) ORDER VOLUME 2 BEFORE THE MARCH 1, 2025 CUT-OFF?
d) ALL OF THE ABOVE.
STEP 1: Check to see if Vol. 1 is still available on the website MEGlegacy.com. If copies are still available then your order will go through and I will email you personally.
STEP 2: If you attempted to order Volume 1 and it says OUT OF STOCK, sign up for the Volume 1 Reprint Waiting List.
STEP 3: A soon as possible, order Volume 2 either individually or as a set. (If you are just waiting for your pre-ordered Vol. 1 to arrive before you order #2… no problem – WAIT and be 100% sure! Ordering a single volume gets you first rights to order the other books in the set.
ADVICE & CONCERN (from a long-time MEGhead):
Steve:
I am always one of the first MEGheads to order your books (for bonuses and a lower number). I remember the order site collapsing several times when MEG: Generations went on sale years ago… and there was not a print ceiling on that book like there is with LEGACY. I’ve been a loyal fan since reading MEG in high school (all true about getting non-readers to read – that was me). My kids were raised on the novels, and my 11 year old grandson cannot wait until the Volume 1s arrives (we ordered a Vol. 1 in each color, but all blue are fine, too).
My concern: What happens if you sell out in a day or two of the 5,000 sets? I have a feeling (as do others on MEG chat rooms) that the day those 1,000 books arrive and hundreds of videos pop up showing excited Vol.1 owners holding their books, it will be Generations all over again. And once book collectors hear about this… I would have loved to purchase a few more copies of GENERATIONS in hardback, but at $500 a book on ebay? I can’t afford that. Can you please find a solution for us loyal MEGheads who cherish your books and want LEGACY for our kids and grandkids.
(Matt K.)
Dear Matt
Your concern is legit.
FIRST, the website has been bolstered to prevent it from collapsing.
SECOND, I will wait until the delivered books arrive in the USA before sending this newsletter so you can inspect the goods and have no doubts as to ordering Volume 2 right away.
THIRD: I have a potential solution if all 5,000 sets sell out fast… but I cannot discuss it until it has been approved.
