Historia
Ensign Andrew Dahl has just been assigned to the Universal Union Capital Ship Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union since the year 2456. Life couldn’t be better…until Andrew begins to pick up on the facts that (1) every Away Mission involves some kind of lethal confrontation with alien forces; (2) the ship’s captain, its chief science officer, and the handsome Lieutenant Kerensky always survive these confrontations; and (3) at least one low-ranked crew member is, sadly, always killed.

Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Historia
Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever, and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent - and nearly five million souls in the United States alone - the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.

Historia
Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Historia
John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater.

A human diplomat creates an interstellar incident when he kills an alien diplomat in a most unusual way. To avoid war, Earth's government must find an equally unusual object: A type of sheep ("The Android's Dream"), used in the alien race's coronation ceremony. To find the sheep, the government turns to Harry Creek, ex-cop, war hero and hacker extraordinaire.

Equipped with the entirety of human knowledge, a sentient ship is launched on a last-ditch journey to find a new home for civilization. Trillions of miles. Tens of thousands of years. In the space between, the AI has plenty of time to think about life, the vastness of the universe, everything it was meant to do, and—with a perspective created but not limited by humans—what it should do.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time.

Resumen del Editor
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.

Hidden in a desert warehouse, their spaceship replica is equipped with state-of-the-art special effects dreamed up by the scientists partnering with the shady cable network airing the show.

On June 30, 1908, an object fell from the sky, releasing more energy than a thousand Hiroshima bombs. A Siberian forest was flattened, but the strike left no significant crater. The anomaly came to be known as the Tunguska Event, and scientists have never agreed whether it was the largest meteor strike in recorded history - or something else. Alien artifacts have been uncovered since the 1908 event, and a new star drive is discovered.

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Fun, Hardcore Geekery
Disclaimer: I am incredibly biased and am sure that bias will be heavily reflected here.
Scalzi and Wheaton are always a pleasure for me, but this was the story I needed most in this horrendous time. Without spoiling anything, my imagination frequently heard a rusty, grumbly gate opening in the background of my mind while listening. The Kaiju Preservation Society is so much fun that anyone who grew up between the 70s and 90s can enjoy. Good-naturedly poking gentle fun at Millennials added some pleasant seasoning to the story; stir in a dash of telling a genuinely inconsiderate billionaire to his face exactly what he could do with himself and his money was like molten chocolate cake warming my gooey bits.
To paraphrase the author, this is the right novel for a really awful time. Please do yourself a favor and read/listen to it.

Ignore the political reviews, it's no political
I almost didn't get this book because there were so many negative reviews that talked about politics overwhelming the story, those reviews are "inaccurate". This is a typical story written by Scalzi and read by Wheaton, if you like his other books of this type you will like this. The characters speak with usual Scalzi dialog and Wheaton gives his usual performance. (This is like Scalzi's Red Shirts and not God Engines.)
As to the politics (I'm fairly certain that nothing in here is a spoiler):
1) It is set in the quarantine and the main character is in a city where people think you should wear masks (wow, that's political!). Oh, and this effects the story for all of the first 15 minutes and is only used as setup for the story,
2) It has a character who is the worst part of person who creates a startup company and screws over employees. While this plays into the story it is just a way of setting up the main character to progress through the story, it isn't preachy and isn't a main part of the book.
3) There is a transgender character who is a main part of the story. Does this character have a romantic roll in the story? No. Does this character scream on about how they need to be respected? No. What is this character's cardinal sin? They are referred to as "They" throughout the book. You could literally replace the pronoun "they" with "he" or "she" in the book and make no other changes and have the exact same story. I have to admit, I found it jarring for the first hour or so because I'm not used to hearing "they" referring to a character in the story, after that I have kept noticing because all I can think of is "I bet that's making one of the other reviewers head explode"...
4) There is one scene where they talk about the president (or maybe former president's) big dumb sons wanting to do something stupid. I learned from one of the other reviewers that this is apparently a reference to Trump.
5) There is another scene where they refer to a President who seems to favor business and would like a crisis to help him get re-elected. This scene also makes a 2 line reference to Elon Musk. The entirety of this is under 5 minutes.
This is literally what has other reviewers losing their minds about virtue signaling and this being political. (yes I'm liberal but that doesn't mean I have to scream at authors who don't have the same perspective as me, this has less political perspective than anything written by John Ringo and John Ringo writes entertaining books too (I'm not a fan of Sara Palin but maybe she would be good in a zombie apocalypse and it's definitely entertaining.). ((This is like when people protested the film Dogma for being anti-Christian))
So in summary, it's typical Scalzi read by Wheaton and is no more political than anything else he's written except that there is a character referred to using "they" and starts in the pandemic...

I'm sobbing. Not at the story - which was great btw! it lifted my spirits. I made me laugh when things would happen and I would think ... "because of course it did" and that would be the literal next line of the book. I'm sobbing because Scalzi, your author's note at the end spoke to my soul. This book...it put me in a good mood. And I am having one of those weeks! but this - it made me laugh and I just want to say thank you John Scalzi for this book. You are amazing. your work is amazing and Will Wheaton always narrates spectacularly. read this book. it will lift your spirits. it will make you smile. it's easy and happy.

What ride!
John Scalzi never fails to amaze, amuse & in general create great stories with a twist. Wil Wheaton performs admirably!

Just wonderful! Exactly the Story I Needed to Read!
I have listened to many John Scalzi’s audiobooks previously, so of course I purchased this one on it’s release day. It is great! It has comfortable elements from some of his other books, but with a whole new story. It was light and very entertaining.

Whoot! Whoot!
Thank you, John Scalzi & Wil Wheaton.
When you listen to this book -- and you should -- be sure to have saved up a stretch of time. Because stopping is not an option - I mean, it could be, but like WHY?!

Just… just a really enjoyable lighthearted story
That’s what it is. It made me happy, and I enjoy that someone made something suitable for public consumption about pandemic times, and in a way that didn’t leave me bitter and angry. I read some reallly bitter reviews about it, but the story is fun if you let yourself enjoy it. Will Wheaton perfectly nails the Scalzi snark at every turn, and if you can keep your stick out of the mud it’s just a very nice read. For anyone that reads this in say… 20 years- YMMV but it was perfect for 2022
