[Review-Quotes]The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

The Kaiju Preservation Society is John Scalzi's first standalone adventure since the conclusion of his New York Times bestselling Interdepen

Jamie Gray goes to a six-month performance review as an employee for food delivery startup füdmüd expecting to impress boss Rob Sanders with plans to grow the company, only to be terminated and offered a delivery contract instead. At first rejecting the offer, Jamie is eventually forced to take it after all to make rent, as jobs are scarce in COVID-19-afflicted New York City. One delivery client turns out to be Tom Stevens, an old acquaintance, and over the next few weeks of deliveries they renew their friendship. Tom has a lucrative position with KPS, a secretive animal rights NGO, and is slated to head out into the field right about the same time Jamie loses the delivery job (füdmüd having been bought out). Tom offers Jamie a job with his own employer, and Jamie, again out of options, goes in for the interview, is accepted, and is soon on a plane to Thule Air Base in Greenland.

Thule Air Base turns out to hide the gateway to a parallel Earth, in which evolution took a different turn after the early Mesozoic era, resulting in a planet dominated by impossibly immense creatures whose growth is fueled by internal bio-nuclear reactors. Mankind first became aware of this world in the wake of World War II, when the use of atomic bombs opened temporary portals between the worlds, to which and through which the creatures were attracted by the radiation fallout, on which they feed. After Japanese filmmakers were inspired by rumors of the initial breakthrough to make “Kaiju” movies such as Godzilla and its successors, the creatures were dubbed Kaiju. Aside from such rumors, their real-life existence has been kept secret by governments around the world, who formed KPS (the Kaiju Preservation Society) to study the Kaiju Earth, prevent additional breakthroughs, and protect the denizens of each world from those of the other.

Kaiju Earth is a torrid world, high in oxygen and radioactive volatiles, dominated by Kaiju and teeming with lesser predators. Sent to Tanaka Base, an outpost in the Kaiju Earth version of Labrador, Jamie supports the scientific staff studying the biota there, particularly the Kaiju “Bella,” a brooding mother laying her eggs at the irradiated site of the death of another Kaiju, whose internal atomic pile overheated and exploded—a not infrequent occurrence. Unfortunately, this event weakened the barrier between worlds, and Bella planting herself at the very location the event occurred is keeping the barrier from rehealing. A predatory corporation on the Human Earth side (coincidentally led by Jamie’s old boss Rob Sanders), in on the Kaiju secret, takes the opportunity to breach the barrier and move the Kaiju mother and her eggs to the Human side. Jamie and the other KPS team members must somehow cross over themselves and Bella, both to preserve the Kaiju secret and protect both worlds.

Agent To The Stars Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 Once again, John Scalzi knocks it out of the park! This book was so insanely funny and bizarre. An alien race, having first heard radio broadcasts, and then watched television and movies from earth, decide they want to reach out and extend the hand of friendship to its people. To do so they procure the help of a talent agent to help reveal their presence to the world. This was one big, fun, and insane shenanigan. I love Scalzi's writing. His imagination is limitless and he is well on his way to becoming my favorite writer...or at the ver least, my favorite scifi author. I read the book while listening to the audio. Wil Wheaton was the narrator. Need I say more? He is one of the best narrators and I will listen to just about anything he does. I think he and Scalzi are a match made in heaven. This was a fun read/listen. #books #reading #review #agenttothestars #johnscalzi https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci3GDyxAhVb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
