Kaiju

by Christopher Nadeau

Walter Henderson didn't think things could get much worse. He has a job he hates, a marriage that seems to be going nowhere except toward parenthood and a military past that haunts him to this day. Not to mention an inappropriate workplace attraction. Then someone nukes the city of Tokyo and the world is thrown into chaos. For on the other side of the world, a man named Tanaka single-handedly fights a battle against an overwhelming, ancient force capable of harnessing humanity into a source of power that can literally rip open the Veil between worlds. But Tanaka has grown old and cannot do it alone. This follows a powerful man's quest for the next great ally in his cause, a quest that takes Tanaka from Japan to the Middle East to France and, finally, to a troubled man named Walter Henderson whose newly emerging powers just might engulf him before he can be of use.
