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 disguised as an abandoned Nike missile site in the back woods of Maine, 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. Includes original creature designs by legendary Godzilla artist, Matt Frank. *Kaiju is Japanese for ""strange beast."" The genre includes classic monsters such as Godzilla, Gamera, Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah.

Kaiju, aside from super sentai and kamen rider, these are my favorites growing up in the 70's, seeing Godzilla, going up against Mothra, Ghidora and the other rubber monsters, well back then even knowing that, to me it was the best movie experience.......remember the betamax????
Reading Mr. Robinson's Project Nemesis, it brought back those bygone years, the rising tension that you feel, knowing there is a monster(why can't anyone see it???), numerous reports of something huge coming and going and leaving a path of destruction, and finally our first glimpse of the Kaiju......(in comes Godzilla's entrance music).......
I will stick around and read more of this series.........Thank you Jeremy Robinson!!!!!
Interesting premise, exciting action, a little more gruesome than I like.
SO that's the first Kaiju book in my life and strangely there was nothing really Kaiju about it. It read rather like some fantasy books that have imaginary creatures in them. I was especially reminded of Book of Souls by Trevor Cooley.But in some other ways it was funny, fast and Godzilla like that I still enjoyed it lots. I may or may not go onto the next one but if you are looking for a completely mindless read full of shallow characters and lots of death this should be right up there.
