Publisher's summary

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.

Delightfully Sublime Ear Candy

This book and the entire Nemesis saga are wonderful reminders of the pulps and drive-in creature features I enjoyed in my youth... These stories are the best and modern reincarnation of both... Kinda reminds me of a mix of X files and those creature flicks... Not really hard SF or gorey monster tale, but meets in the middle w/ supremely quirky humor and pop culture illusions... We have genetic engineering of both man and the aliens man is fighting... Godzilla reminiscent monsters like an exodus from Monster Island... Especially Hyperion who very much resembles the giant robot from one of those Godzilla movies... There also a bit of that Saturday morning cartoon appeal... Some obvious, and sneakily subtle references to StarTrek... Pricking of fingers like in The Thing Reboot...
Great read w/ great narration and if you're a closet guilty pleasure kinad person you'll gobble this up... There's quite a bit of crossover w/ the other Robinson storylines, but was surprised the Chess Team didn't make an appearance... Worth the credit and a trip back into our miss spent youth;)

Another Good One

The ending of this book - the second to last in the series - goes in a direction I’m excited to read more about. On to the last one in the Nemesis Saga.

Setting the stage for some heavy metal

**DEFINITE SPOILERS FOR THIS & PREVIOUS BOOKS**

Even a novel clearly meant to set-up the next book, Jeremy Robinson expands the Nemesis saga in a thoughtful, funny, and action installment and gives this novel its own arc and conclusion. I can think of a few would-be franchises that could’ve taken notes from this.

We learn more about the alien threat that ultimately led to this series’ events and that Earth stands on the precipice of utter destruction. Nemesis becomes a force of good, or at least willing to fight against the ultimate villains without also wiping out humanity in the process.

And a giant robot gets added to the mix. Is there a series that isn’t improved by the addition of a giant robot? (Imagine how hilarious it’d be if Paddington Bear got his marmalade-stained paws on the controls of some giant mech?)

We get to see Maigo become more assertive and take an even more active part in the team. We get to see her as a leader, taking cues from her adoptive father and getting rewarded with a new weapon. It’s also fun & sweet to see more of the sisterly bond with Lilly that was hinted and mentioned in Project 731 as well as just seeing the two play off each other. If Jeremy Robinson ever wrote a spin-off series with just them, I would be on board.

We get to see how Nemesis evolved with having Katsu Endo as her human conscious. It not only keeps the series fresh but also helps showcase the differences between Katsu and Maigo, from their maturity and morality to, ultimately, a good illustration to how better things can be when people aren’t forced into doing something.

Typing that last sentence made me realize that might be the point of the novel. It is revealed that, in an ongoing war between two different offshoots of the same species, humanity’s nature was altered to make it more willing to fight for freedom. It opens a can of worms of whether free choice really exists if the very idea was forced onto humanity and the novel’s answer to it, acceptance but with a hand sign that’s neither Hawaiian nor peaceful, is likely the best answer any media can have and especially fits this series’ tone and viewpoints.

Hyperion is also a fun addition. Emotionless/subdued characters have a long history of adding to the dynamics of a cast of characters with their hearts on their sleeve (see Spock or Data) and Hyperion joining the likes of Jon Hudson and the FC-P doesn’t disappoint. It’s droll delivery against Maigo’s panic is fun and her and Nemesis learning to trust this mechanical thing is a nice touch (all the characters are wary of it but Maigo and Nemesis have a particular reason).

The action is always cool and Jeremy Robinson always seems to find new ways to depict battles, including an awesome drone fight (I’m not doing it justice; trust me, it’s cool). The new monsters are cool and imaginative, and we get a few returning kaiju that’s, while not earth-shaking (pun not intended), still a nice touch at showing the powers of one of the factions in this book.

Jeffrey Kafer excels again narrating the novel. While it’s sometimes hard in multi-character dialogue scenes to know when one character starts and another begins, it’s still mostly clear who’s speaking and he performs the emotions of each character flawlessly. Jeremy Robinson’s writing doesn’t need elevating but Jeffrey does it anyway.

Like I said before, Project Hyperion manages to be a satisfying novel in its own right while making sure the stage is set for the big finale, a rare feat considering how many companies want to get into the big crossover business. Thankfully, Jeremy Robinson knows people only come back if the current story is great. I find it hard (not impossible; everyone has different tastes) to think of no one who wouldn’t want to read the next book after reading this.

LET ME JUST SAY

I have never been disappointed with this author. These books, all of these books, meaning the entire multi-verse, is so connected and detailed that a person just can't help but get lost inside them. I work 10 hour shifts and the fly by as I listen. The fact that you can interact with the mind that sees it all on Facebook is great too. If you see Universes and know there's more out there, this authors entire collection is for you.

Just keeps getting better!

I gotta say this again: I came to this series from the one shot Tether. My wife & I thoroughly enjoyed that book. It mentioned Project Nemesis, so I looked it up. Wow! What a thrill ride of a series! Everything just keeps stacking up and it works!
Anyway, so looking to see how it resolves next book (which I started last night's commute....and wow)
Thanks for these fun action packed and great characters!

A Fun Ride!

This was such a fun book in the Nemesis series. With all of the characters, great locations, and constant action, I couldn't help but think that it would make a great Lego set!

Getting better and better

Loving this series. Wish the books were longer. Listen to them via my earbuds while I’m at work. I work 12 h shifts and they don’t get me through a full shift. Oh well. Can’t have everything. Next!

The kids are growing and the danger gets worse

We continue to see more Kaiju as the alien invasion gets closer. “GOD” might be on our side but can we be sure? Lots of good stuff in this story. Ready for the next book.
