![]() ![]() ![]() Toss in an insane army general and a cold-blooded warrior with an unusual form of nobility, and you have a basic setup for the first novel. This is Nemesis, which was created by cloning the DNA of an ancient monster, labeled a goddess of vengeance, and mixing it with the DNA of a young girl who was murdered, alongside her mother, by her own father. He and his crew are much more capable than they might seem, though, which is handy, considering how he stumbles onto a massive military and corporate conspiracy that is not shy about leaving disappeared bodies in its wake… oh, and a monster that quickly grows and grows to become a full-fledged kaiju, like Godzilla and such, which rains absolute devastation and slaughter upon everything in its path. The main storyline follows Jon Hudson, director of a paranormal investigative agency, widely regarded as a joke at first, under the Department of Homeland Security. I ended up enjoying it so much that I got the entire series, including Project Maigo, Project 731, Project Hyperion, and Project Legion, and the side-story Island 731, which tells an important part of the overall narrative. I’m not usually into stories where everybody dies (or so I keep telling myself), and this one was obviously going to have a very large body count, but the idea of a kaiju thriller, as the term has been coined, was… intriguing. ![]() Project Nemesis, by Jeremy Robinson, was one of my experimental reads. ![]()
