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)

A Good Time

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

Fun. Action-Packed. Entertaining.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The FBI main character. He made me laugh out loud. He doesn't wise-crack through out the book to the point of being annoying but he does have a sense of humor. He's also not uber-macho. Now the sheriff... she was macho enough for both of them.

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

I don't think I've listened to Mr. Kafer before but he did a great job. He's the kind of reader that you don't really notice because he's doing such a good job.

Any additional comments?

I happened upon this series in one of the Audible twofers and initially wasnt crazy about the Island 731 prequel, actually I havent yet discovered what the tie in between that book and Nemesis is, but i suspect that might come in a later book. This story is a good old "genetic modified experiments go amok, smart aleck, cynical federal agent and hugely competent female cop get together to do battle with evildoers." I enjoyed it, you will too. Well read by one of my favorite voices, Jeffery Kafer.

Exciting from the Beginning

Another amazing book. Jeremy Robinson knows how to bring stories to life. The characters are always well thought out and some are quite funny. 😄

Awesome suprise

I have really come to like the way Jeremy Robinson developed his characters. A great mix of funny sarcasm and action makes this book a great overall read and I am looking forward to the rest in the series.

just read it!

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!

Finally something fresh in kaiju

Fun and filled with new ideas. I'm excited to see where the series goes. Jeremy Robinson has never disappointed me with a book
