Project Hyperion

A Kaiju Thriller - Nemesis Saga Book 4

By: Jeremy Robinson

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

THE SIGNAL WAS RECEIVED

Jon Hudson has become more than just the director of the Department of Homeland Security's Fusion Center - Paranormal. He is now a husband and a father, surrounded by a team who have become a family. So when a series of strange new threats rise from the depths and fall from the sky, the stakes are higher than ever.

THE HARBINGERS ARRIVE

While Maigo, the young woman who was once a part of the kaiju known as Nemesis, goddess of vengeance, and Lilly, a chimera cat-woman, sneak off to investigate Big Diomede, an island with an ancient secret inside Russian territory, two monsters fall from the sky. One heads for Tokyo, the other for the already battered Boston. Tsunamis rise from the depths, leveling cities. The two new kaiju - Giger and Lovecraft - follow close behind, bringing death and destruction with them. And Hudson realizes the horrible truth: the Aeros, an alien race plotting mankind's destruction, have sent these kaiju in advance.

THE WAR BEGINS

Drawn by the chaos, and by her connection to people she and her new "voice", Katsu Endo, are fond of, Nemesis rises to the defense of humanity. But the Queen of the Monsters is not alone. Maigo and Lilly unleash an ancient protector known as Hyperion, and the first battle for the fate of the human race, in all dimensions, begins.

It's awesome! well worth the read or in this case the listen! I have become a fan boy of jeremy robinson and his books! To be honest it been hard to find a series that can hold my attention and cause me to remember each character and its history. Jeremy has done it and he blends characters from his other series together in new books seamlessly!

I enjoyed it!

It gets real with this one. Real crazy, but in a good way! Thanks Jeremy!

The series fulfills its destiny of absurdity.

Once you get used to Robinson's penchant for childish humor and relentless pop culture references, the actually kinda cool story he's trying to tell shines brighter in this entry than in other installments where the "aliens from other dimensions" sprawling connected-series narrative is more of a sidebar. As such he fulfills the destiny of any kaiju series that goes on too long: you must continually up the stakes and it becomes utterly ridiculous. Now that Nemesis is firmly in her humorous, friend to mankind, aided by a giant robot from Atlantis Showa Era, is it any good?
Yeah. The characters are still occasionally kitsch and the same can be said for dialogue that was fine before we quoted Star Trek for the umpteenth time. But in the kaiju department, Nemesis is an utterly badass Godzilla proxy with unique villains and locales. A solid, if WAF, read.

Awesome story. Great narration.

I love all of the project series of books. Jeremy Robinson and Jeffrey Kafer are a great team.

It's good, but not the best in the series.

If you could sum up Project Hyperion in three words, what would they be?

Not enough fights.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

It was okay, hopefully in the next book there will be more or at least longer monster battles.

Have you listened to any of Jeffrey Kafer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

He always makes me think of Charlie Sheen. He is a good reader.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not enough giant monster battles.

Any additional comments?

I feel like the previous books had more giant monster battles, or at least the battles took longer in this book. Sure the humans are getting better weapons, but I came for giant monsters fighting, and it felt like much much more of this book involved the human characters fighting. It's a good book, but I don't think it's the best one in the series.
