Project Nemesis

A Kaiju Thriller

By: Jeremy Robinson

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

Length: 8 hrs and 52 mins

Publisher's summary

Jon Hudson, lead investigator for the Department of Homeland Security's Fusion Center-P, thinks his job is a joke. While other Fusion Centers focus on thwarting terrorist activity, Hudson's division is tasked with handling paranormal threats to national security, of which there have been zero during his years at the DHS. When yet another Sasquatch sighting leads to a research facility in the backwoods of Maine, disguised as an abandoned Nike missile site, Hudson's job becomes deadly serious.

Hudson and the local Sherriff, Ashley Collins, suddenly find themselves on the run from a ruthless ex-Special Forces security team, but the human threat is short-lived as something very much not-human destroys the facility and heads for civilization, leaving only a single clue behind-a name scrawled in blood-Nemesis. Working with his team at Fusion Center-P, Sherriff Collins and a surly helicopter pilot named Woodstock, Hudson pursues the creature known as Nemesis, attempts to uncover the corporate secrets behind its creation and accidental release, and tries to comprehend why several clues lead to a murdered little girl named Maigo.

But as the body-count explodes, along with the monster's size, it quickly becomes clear that nothing short of a full military response can slow Nemesis's progress. Coordinating with every branch of the U.S. military, Hudson simultaneously searches for clues about Nemesis's origins and motivations, and leads the counterattack that will hopefully stop the monster before it reaches Boston and its one million residents.

Witness the birth of a legend as Jeremy Robinson, bestselling author of SecondWorld and Ragnarok, combines the pacing of Matthew Reilly with the mystery of James Rollins and creates the first iconic American Kaiju* story since King Kong.

*Kaiju is Japanese for "strange beast." The genre includes classic monsters such as Godzilla, Gamera, Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah.

Critic reviews

"Robinson blends myth, science and terminal velocity action like no one else." (Scott Sigler, New York Times bestselling author of Infected and Ancestor)

"Just when you think that 21st-century authors have come up with every possible way of destroying the world, along comes Jeremy Robinson." ( New Hampshire Magazine)

"There's nothing timid about Robinson as he drops his readers off the cliff without a parachute and somehow manages to catch us an inch or two from doom." (Jeff Long, New York Times bestselling author of The Descent)

What a great ride

From start to finish this was a great book. that starts off the world of Kaiju. Many will enjoy reading all the books related to Kaiju

I loved this title

As always, Jeremy Robinson delivers another tale which had me invested in the characters. The narrative was compelling and unique. Would recommend!

Revenge Burns Brightly

The “monster “ in this story is really the society we all live in.
This looks like it will be an interesting series based on the “Paranormal “ branch of the DHS.
Jeremy again writes a riveting tale that is difficult to put down. Narration is first rate as well.
Highly recommended.
I received this free review audiobook and I am voluntarily leaving this unbiased review.

New Fan

I wasn't too sure what this might be. Longtime TOHO, Godzilla etc. fan. Fantastic. Clever. Brought me into the story. Realistic. Fast Paced. On to the next. Hope someone enjoys this like I did. Enjoy.

An entertaining monster mash

I listened to it in one day, and bought the sexual before I had finished this book.

I am a long time Kaiju fan, and I think this would make a great movie, though it would have to be R rated to keep its unique feel. The violence is quite personal, at times.

Excellent

Great book, great narration. Would recommend. Also like Infknite and Infinite 2 by this author. Will be reading more.

Interesting

It's an interesting story. It was also interesting that the author put so much time into developing backstories for characters who die so soon. Also, the author knows almost nothing about guns. It's obvious to anyone who does.

I'd listen to this book over a dozen times

it is just a fantastic sci-fi giant monster story. after listening to several times you can tell that there's subtle hints at his other novels and I appreciate all of it. trust me this is a trip you want to enjoy

Excellent story and entertaining characters

Absolutely enjoyed this book! it was interesting and kept my attention with the action and the science fiction. The main characters were equally entertaining and there a quite a few laugh out louds. Totally enjoyed! Looking for the next one.

Godzilla with personality and plot

What made the experience of listening to Project Nemesis the most enjoyable?

Good scene setting. Everyman characters in wildly abnormal situations

Who was your favorite character and why?

I identified with Hudson the main protagonist, but thought Lilly was an intriguing character. Though she could have used more development

What does Jeffrey Kafer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

A book written in first persom is almost always better listened to than read. Brings back the old (fish) story telling tradition.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

That would be a spoiler.

Any additional comments?

Jeffery Kafer reminded me very much of the voice of Jack Webb as Sargent Friday on Dragnet (in a good way).
