MEG: Legacy Collector’s Sets
What is MEG LEGACY?
Imagine owning all original six full-length MEG hardbacks — with a seventh and final chapter (MEG: Purgatory) expected to be completed in late 2025… along with a prequel (MEG: Origins) woven into a new never-before-read 25th anniversary edition of MEG-1, PLUS three unpublished Angel of Death novella, each action-packed short story intended to connect long sequences of time between novels one and two, two and three and three and four…everything re-edited to flow from one read to the next, seasoned with the six graphic comics that make-up the incredible MEG graphic novel. Now add special fan appreciation features, guest Forewards by the agents, producers and V.I.P. MEGheads who joined the team … and a MAJOR BONUS — best-selling author Steve Alten’s unpublished biography, laid out so that the reader follows the timeline of events that led to the novel they are about to read… Alten’s tale a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs that nearly ended his career.
All seven volumes will be bound in high-quality faux leather and built to last… offered in Ocean-Blue, the pages etched in silver. Only 1,000 copies of Volume One are being printed, each signed and numbered by Steve Alten!
UPDATE: January, 2026
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 so if you missed the deadline you might be able to purchase one of the extra copies at www.MEGlegacy.com. 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.
LOCH-3: Heaven Lake UPDATE
Currently finishing last 50 pages, targeting February 2, 2026 —
Eight year anniversary! My goal was simple – take my prose and storytelling to the next level, with no deadlines and no worries as to length, all while creating characters that practically leap off the page. And the FACTION? Beyond anything I’ve ever written and researched as my storylines involve Artificial Intelligence, genetic manipulation, and Kim Jong UN, the North Korean dictator who discovers a nuclear trigger that will wipeout 1.6 BILLION people.

MEG: LEGACY
A seven-volume Collector’s boxed set of Steve Alten’s MEG SERIES, featuring each of the seven full-length MEG novels and three novellas — presented in chronological order. Each hardback will be bound in faux leather, the three sides of every page edged in a silver finish.
For sale now as you read this is Volume I, which will feature an entirely new version of MEG, with the prequel (MEG: Origins) woven into the updated MEG 2015 Anniversary Edition. It will have never-before-read passages with author comments and special features… and conclude with MEG comic #1 of six that make up the graphic novel, the incredible artwork bringing the characters and Meg to life.
Volume II will go on sale after Volume I goes to the printer. It will open with the never-before-published Angel of Death-I novella and a newly-edited version of MEG-2; The TRENCH. Extras include 25 years of scientific discoveries that turned MEG from fiction to FACTion. and will conclude with Comic #2.
Volume-III will open with a brand-new still-to-be-written novella; Angel of Death-II, followed by MEG: Primal Waters. Other extras include graphic images created by then unknown graphic artist Erik Hollander. Comic #3 concludes this amazing book.
Volumes IV thru VI extras will be announced when these books go on pre-sale, leading up to…
Volume VII – MEG: Purgatory. If you ordered a special commemorative hardback – no worries, it is still coming out. Volume-VII will … well, it’s a big surprise… enough said.
How To Purchase
As stated above, MEG: LEGACY can only be purchased thru the store at www.MEGLegacy.com or www.SteveAlten.com
The original plan was to only print 5,000 of each, a volume to be offered and pre-sold every 3-4 months. Two colors were created by our talented LEGACY artist (J.S. Earls): But both were so different and so well done… and you wanted both (a set to read and a set to display). This was exactly what happened years ago when Erik designed two different covers for MEG: Hell’s Aquarium and the vote was a dead-heat. After the vote we decided on Ocean Blue with Silver page edging.
That was the new plan… which changed again after many of you emailed me, preferring to buy the entire set of seven at once rather than worry about missing a newsletter announcement.
PURCHASE OPTIONS:
Select a color: BLUE.
Select a payment method; Pay for each Volume 1-7 separately or prepay for the entire set.
Questions?
QUESTION: What if I forget to order one of the books and they sell out?
ANSWER: If you order Volume I we’ll have you in the system for email reminders.
QUESTION: What if my dog chews up one of my books, ruining the entire set?
ANSWER: If you are in the system, then you can purchase any volume that has been released… not from one of the 5,000 printed but from an “extra.” Extras always happen as these massive print presses cannot stop precisely on 5,000. The publisher agrees to pay for these extras, which we’ll maintain as replacements. After they are gone… that’s it.
QUESTION: Will my Volume-I be signed?
ANSWER: If you order one of the first 1000.

SEA MONSTER COVE
Two exciting projects from Steve Alten. Sea Monster Cove and Sea Monster Cove High School.
Sea Monster Cove
Sea Monster Cove (SMC) is the location for Where Sea Monsters Roam—an action-packed episodic TV series that evolved into something far more—an interactive multimedia website where visitors become part of the story.

Sea Monster Cove High School
Sea Monster Cove High School (SMCHS) It was 25 years ago that I found myself saddled with the daily chore of answering hundreds of email from high school students who were all delivering the same basic message, that they “HATED reading but LOVED reading (my first novel) MEG.” I was flattered, but my target audience was adults. Then high school teachers began informing me that my novel was especially popular among their most reluctant readers.
