Robinson delivers as always. The Project Nemesis series is a kaiju classic for a reason. Our protagonist seems like a lazy jerk at first but he really shapes up. Our kaiju is actually pretty unique for the genre. I was very pleased. Fantastic book with good narration to boot. Will listen again, likely several times. Island 731 does not need to be read before this book, but it does need to be read before the next book, Project Maigo. I recommend all three.
