BOSTON IS IN RUINS Jon Hudson, head of the Department of Homeland
Security's Fusion Center - Paranormal division, is haunted by
Boston's destruction at the hands of Nemesis, a three-hundred-foot
tall monster with the heart of a murdered little girl, Maigo. In
the time since Boston fell and Nemesis retreated to the ocean's
depths, Hudson has helped prepare the United States against future
attacks. But no one is prepared for what rises from the depths. THE
WORLD BURNS Five Kaiju attack cities and consume the world's
citizens in an unstoppable rampage around the globe. But it soon
becomes apparent that these attacks aren't all random events.
Hudson is targeted, putting the FC-P headquarters, known as the
Crow's Nest, and his team, in the very large crosshairs. General
Lance Gordon, a man who carries Nemesis's vengeful heart in his
chest, directs the Kaiju, and when Hudson finds protection from an
unlikely source, the General turns his attention to his next
target. THE NATION'S CAPITOL IS NEXT While Gordon and his Kaiju
storm toward Washington D.C., Hudson, along with his team and some
new and unusual allies, race to stand in their path, hoping to
spare the nation-and the world-from destruction. But salvation at
the end of all things will come only through the gravest of
sacrifices. --- With Project Nemesis, Jeremy Robinson introduced
the world of popular fiction to Kaiju, a word that has become
popularized by the movie Pacific Rim, and is associated with
classic movie monsters such as Godzilla and Gamera. In the year
since the release of Project Nemesis, the book has become the
bestselling original Kaiju novel of all time, and it is being
featured in the video game Colossal Kaiju Combat: Fall of Nemesis.
In Project Maigo, Robinson amps up the scale, the characters and
the city-stomping action, treating readers to a truly monstrous
experience typically reserved for the big screen.
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.
