		Alten can still write a mean giant prehistoric shark scene, but he flails like a fish out of water at nearly everything else (of his #1 human villain, psycho billionaire Benedict Singer, he writes, "Benedict stood before the window, his arms outspread, emerald eyes blazing as he reveled in his glory").
		Alten's evocation of the Trench and its dangers (including more prehistoric beasts), and of the machineryAsubs, minisubs and a giant underwater stationAthat would challenge them, is evocative and backed by rigorous scientific detail.
		Alten's imaginative roles for the pyramids and Peru's Nazca peoples are the perfect springboard for what is set up to be a continuing series grappling with sweeping, Star Wars-like themes.

	The Trench (ISBN 0786011149): Very Well Said
		Alten manages to combine the science fiction elements of a giant shark being on the loose with the horror elements of the human characters' reactions (and machinations) quite nicely.
		Alten makes them yell out with pure hatred for the shark (which seems to do a good job of pushing their buttons--maybe the shark is like a velociraptor in that "it's thinking") but does nothing with these characters when the shark get away.
		Steve Alten brought us to the depths of the ocean with MEG and now he brings all of it back once again with The Trench.

	The Loch by Steve Alten
		Alten also tries to give all the Scottish characters authentic accents, and by “authentic” I mean “Groundskeeper Willie.” Alten also seems to think Scottish people write with an accent.
		However, Steve Alten has presented his conclusions as the real solution to the Loch Ness mystery, both in his newsletter and in the introduction to the book.
		What Alten doesn't seem to understand is that passive sonar just allows you to listen to sounds, and maybe tell what direction a sound is coming from.

	Review - The Loch by Steve Alten
		Writer Alten presents a fast-paced read filled with all the tumult the reader can hope for in this anecdote of a man coming to grips with himself and his past, present and future.
		Alten’s characters are well thought out zesty individuals, dialog is full of grit and acceptable, settings swell with particulars in this well written work.
		It is obvious Writer Alten has done a good bit of research into the background surrounding Loch Ness and the myths surrounding it as well as investigation into the marine world and those who delve its depths.

		Steve Alten is a very good writer; but telling a story is another matter.
		Another example would be Steve Alten's Domain, which unfortunately shows some of the weaknesses in conspiracy fiction.
		Alten has a terrific background for a story and I wish he'd exercised better imagination than what he put out.

		Alten weaves a simplistic story that will appeal to fans of fast moving plots.
		Alten insists the science behind his novel is quite real and is apparently supported by events as recent as March 2005.
		To this all I say “so what.” The fact is that this is a work of fiction with a variety of typical easy reading elements tossed in for good measure.
