The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi is a thrilling, fast-paced adventure set on an alternate Earth - perfect for fans of Adrian Tchaikovsky and Michel Crichton' s Jurassic Park. ' John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today' - Joe Hill, author of The Fireman They' re big, they' re bad and they' re about to become extinct . . . Jamie' s dream was to hit the big time at a New York tech start-up. Jamie' s reality was a humiliating lay-off, then a lowwage job as a takeaway delivery driver. During a pandemic too. Things look beyond grim, until a chance delivery to an old acquaintance. Tom has an urgent vacancy on his team: the pay is great and Jamie has debts - it' s a no-brainer choice. Yet, once again, reality fails to match expectations. Only this time it could be fatal. It seems Tom' s ' animal rights organization' is way more than it appears. The animals aren' t even on Earth - or not our Earth, anyway. In an alternate dimension, massive dinosaur-like creatures roam a tropical, human-free world. And although Kaiju are their universe' s largest and most dangerous animal, they need support to survive. Tom' s ' Kaiju Preservation Society' wants to help. However, others want to profit. Unless they' re stopped, the walls between our worlds could fall - and the consequences would be devastating.
