The Kaiju Preservation Society: Shortlisted for the 2023 Hugo Award for Best Novel

Product Information

It's also grounded in the utter shitness that was 2020, and actually that was pretty cathartic to read too. Over time nuclear blasts have weakened the barrier between our Earth and another Earth where huge dinosaur sized creatures, Kaiju, roam freely.

Still, desperate for anything that will help pay the bills, Jamie signs on, and the next thing he knows, he’s jetting off with his new team to Greenland where they’re told they’ll be doing fieldwork for the next little while.The book is categorized as romantasy, with Violet pulled between the comforting love she feels from her childhood best friend, Dain Aetos, and the incendiary attraction she feels for family enemy Xaden Riorson. If it happens to you and you actually have enough energy to stand up and move around, fry up some bacon or eat a pint of ice cream, or have a couple of slices of bread with butter.

The banter and dialogue were hilariously entertaining, the science was interesting and the book moved along at a nice pace. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied. As discreetly as possible, I adjusted my center of gravity so I was no longer listing ever so slightly starboard. Smart and thrillingly written, with enough banter to fill a studio’s worth of gag reels, all teetering just on the sharp edge of absurdity, and with a cast of misfit characters that the reader can’t help but fall in love with from page one, what is not to adore in this shaggy Godzilla story? So, he jumps to a New York City job with a “start-up” and starts to make things happen for himself and this company.

We were at the point in the video where Niamh had gone ham on the creature, but not yet where they had zapped it. The novel begins with a job performance review, an unruly beanbag, a job frustratingly lost and then an unexpected offer quite like no other. But then Jamie encounters an old classmate, one with an offer that sounds almost too good to be true; his employer, “animal rights organization” KPS, needs another person willing to travel, work with large animals – oh, and receive a salary that’s almost suspiciously generous. Violet is at the mercy of the plot rather than being in charge of it, hurtling through one obstacle after another. That said, I don’t want to give anyone the impression that the story was all superficial, because we have some superb characterization and great world-building ideas here too.
