THE TRENCH was a good read. I enjoyed the whole book, especially the parts that take place in the abyss. I was a bit annoyed that Alten added another creature - Kronosaurus - to “his list of surviving prehistoric monsters”. Wasn't the Megalodon enough? Anyways,when the Kronosaurs made their first appearance, I was like “HUH?”. How could possibly an giant, air-breathing prehistoric marine reptile survive in the depths of the ocean? By evolving gills of course! At least that's how Alten imagined it...
THE TRENCH was a very nice novel overall, although I did not like Alten's “speculative evolution” of the Kronosaurus.
