The Kaiju Preservation Society

De: John Scalzi

Narrado por: Wil Wheaton

The Kaiju Preservation Society is John Scalzi's first stand-alone adventure since the conclusion of his New York Times best-selling Interdependency trilogy.

When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on.

What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, massive dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world. They're the universe's largest and most dangerous panda, and they're in trouble.

It's not just the Kaiju Preservation Society who's found their way to the alternate world. Others have, too. And their carelessness could cause millions back on our Earth to die.

A pop song for dark days

This book is an absolute delight — inventive, funny, and wonderfully human. As usual, Wil Wheaton does a great job of bringing Scalzi’s words to life.

A Great Ride!

I love John Scalzi's work, and this book was great, as expected. Fun characters, a great premise, and a lot of great humor, not to mention Wil Wheaton's great narration just made this book great to listen to.

Exactly the book I needed!

Everything about this book was so enjoyable! I love that the balance of sarcasm/cynicism of the characters never veers into hipster apathy. The core characters feel real and alive.

Thank you

Thank you Scalzi! You are my favorite author and Wil Wheaton my favorite narrator! I've been waiting for this book for a while now and I'm so glad it was fun to make! I felt connected to this weird book about Kaiju more than any other book this year.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

I say this not as a criticism, but you can tell in this book that Mr. Scalzi has written for TV and Movies. This book is TIGHT. I listened to it a second time around just to catch the way everything comes together, even information from what seemed like throwaway moments earlier. The characters are memorable (always love Mr. Wheaton's narration) and distinct. It is obvious that this book is not for everyone, but it is fun, has a cool story hook, has good characters, and is thoughtfully laid out. I hope there are more coming out in the future. I would love to see what happens next.
