Project Nemesis

A Kaiju Thriller

By: Jeremy Robinson

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

Length: 8 hrs and 52 mins

Publisher's summary

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 in the backwoods of Maine, disguised as an abandoned Nike missile site, 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.

*Kaiju is Japanese for "strange beast." The genre includes classic monsters such as Godzilla, Gamera, Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah.

Critic reviews

"Robinson blends myth, science and terminal velocity action like no one else." (Scott Sigler, New York Times bestselling author of Infected and Ancestor)

"Just when you think that 21st-century authors have come up with every possible way of destroying the world, along comes Jeremy Robinson." ( New Hampshire Magazine)

"There's nothing timid about Robinson as he drops his readers off the cliff without a parachute and somehow manages to catch us an inch or two from doom." (Jeff Long, New York Times bestselling author of The Descent)

This Is Awsome!

I love this book! It's a must read for fan's of the genre. This needs a glorious film adaptation.

Cinematic

I'm a life-long lover of kaiju films. This book captures that genre perfectly. I wish someone would create a live-action adaptation, just to see Nemesis realized on the big screen. Definitely going to keep reading/listening to the rest of this series.

Another winner from j Robinson

I thought this was a good action story, the author really painted a picture for the reader which he does as good as anyone. Definitely recommend.

Brilliant,sci-fi & genetics

This is my 13th read by Jeremy Robinson and I love each one. His ability to intertwine reality, sci-fi, and the unspeakable that men do is on point! His characters become familiar and I have to know what happens next. Can’t put these books down!

Narration exceeds expectations exponentially!

At first I was a little hesitant to get this book as I've never listened to Mr. Kafer narrate before. However upon delving into this series, he's gained noteriety in the sense I'll be more than happy to spend a credit on his books!

Good story

I enjoy some of the creative ideas in this book and even some of the outlandish things that happened too. One thing robbed this from being really good.

The Performance was like listening to an infomercial at times as the main character sounded too often like a used car salesman.

Not sure if I will continue the series or not yet.

A Good Time

If you could sum up Project Nemesis in three words, what would they be?

Fun. Action-Packed. Entertaining.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The FBI main character. He made me laugh out loud. He doesn't wise-crack through out the book to the point of being annoying but he does have a sense of humor. He's also not uber-macho. Now the sheriff... she was macho enough for both of them.

Have you listened to any of Jeffrey Kafer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I don't think I've listened to Mr. Kafer before but he did a great job. He's the kind of reader that you don't really notice because he's doing such a good job.

Any additional comments?

You will really like this story if you're into sci-fi monsters. And if there's a sequel, I'm in!

Fusion Center-P is on the job!!

What made the experience of listening to Project Nemesis the most enjoyable?

This book has everything! An angry Momma Bear! A giant Monster! Intrigue! A cranky former Marine pilot!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Woodstock the pilot! Nothing makes a good story like a cranky old Marine!

Which scene was your favorite?

The flying squirrel suit! No, wait, the bear!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book is a blast! I've listened to it twice so far, it never gets old!

Any additional comments?

You can't go wrong with this one! It's got everything!

Fast, furious, fun

What made the experience of listening to Project Nemesis the most enjoyable?

Mad science, mayhem, monsters, fearless hero's, whats not to like?

Any additional comments?

I happened upon this series in one of the Audible twofers and initially wasnt crazy about the Island 731 prequel, actually I havent yet discovered what the tie in between that book and Nemesis is, but i suspect that might come in a later book. This story is a good old "genetic modified experiments go amok, smart aleck, cynical federal agent and hugely competent female cop get together to do battle with evildoers." I enjoyed it, you will too. Well read by one of my favorite voices, Jeffery Kafer.

Finally something fresh in kaiju

Fun and filled with new ideas. I'm excited to see where the series goes. Jeremy Robinson has never disappointed me with a book
