rickjones 's review for:
The Trench
by Steve Alten
The Trench is just as unprobeable and bombastic as Alten's first novel, The Meg. The novel has trench-deep flaws, such as the simplistic characters, waves of misogyny and oversexualization of its female leads, and a ridiculous premise held up by watery science fiction reasoning. Yet the wild, pulpy quality of the story serves its purpose as an entertaining thrill ride. Each appearance of the prehistoric monsters is a treat, and I'm embarrassed to say that I probably will continue the series.
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Gore, Incest, Misogyny, Blood, Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Rape
