Nemesis Saga #4
Project Hyperion
THE SIGNAL WAS RECEIVED
Jon Hudson has become more than just the director of the Department of Homeland Security’s Fusion Center–Paranormal. He is now a husband and a father, surrounded by a team who have become a family. So when a series of strange new threats rise from the depths and fall from the sky, the stakes are higher than ever.
THE HARBINGERS ARRIVE
While Maigo, the young woman who was once a part of the kaiju known as Nemesis, goddess of vengeance, and Lilly, a chimera cat-woman, sneak off to investigate Big Diomede, an island with an ancient secret inside Russian territory, two monsters fall from the sky. One heads for Tokyo, the other for the already battered Boston. Tsunamis rise from the depths, leveling cities. The two new kaiju—Giger and Lovecraft—follow close behind, bringing death and destruction with them. And Hudson realizes the horrible the Aeros, an alien race plotting mankind’s destruction, have sent these kaiju in advance.
THE WAR BEGINS
Drawn by the chaos, and by her connection to people she and her new ‘voice,’ Katsu Endo, are fond of, Nemesis rises to the defense of humanity. But the Queen of the Monsters is not alone. Maigo and Lilly unleash an ancient protector known as Hyperion, and the first battle for the fate of the human race, in all dimensions, begins.
With the first three Nemesis novels, Jeremy Robinson created a new literary subgenre known as the ‘Kaiju Thriller,’ a term now being adopted by other authors. And like all good Kaiju, Nemesis is growing to epic proportions, spawning a video game, The Fall of Nemesis – Colossal Kaiju Combat, and a comic book series titled Project Nemesis, with art by Matt Frank, and published by American Gothic Press, a new imprint of Famous Monsters of Filmland.
With Project Hyperion, Robinson introduces two new kaiju and his first giant robot. You’ll witness the demise of Nemesis Prime, and the kick off of events that will lead to the fifth Nemesis novel.

This was such a fun book in the Nemesis series. With all of the characters, great locations, and constant action, I couldn't help but think that it would make a great Lego set!

WOW! Epic build up to the series finale. This book is pulp summer movie crazy but it’s insanely entertaining and the characters are my family and I love them and would die for them. Can’t wait to see how this series ends!

Project Hyperion, the fourth Project Nemesis book, tears the genre a new one. With a myriad of characters and monsters, the back and forth action, jokes, and pop culture references put the finish on this one nicely. The new monsters are great, with a few twists thrown in to spice things up a little. This is the book where the stuff finally hits the fan, and things will never be the same. My only complaint is I have to wait for more! If you've read them this far, don't stop now!

Great book in this series. Not sure why they are not any plans to make this into a TV series or several movies? I’d go see it.

So far, this has been the weakest entry in the series. There are multiple problems with it.
The story seems to lack direction. A lot of stuff happens, but it comes to no satisfying conclusion. The novel ends on a bad cliffhanger, and while the ride is still fun, it's not as fun as the other entries. The kaiju battles are still great, but I'd have liked more of them. Being reminded of the bleakness of the whole situation got annoying after a while, as did Jon Hudsons self-doubts.
The pop culture references sometimes bordered on being obnoxious, as did the fact that the author worked himself and his fans into the novel. That was too gratitious a wink for my taste. Too many lines from movies, and they don't seem to work as well as they did before, when it was mostly Jon Hudson trolling everyone else in the middle of the apocalypse. Now, just about everyone seems to have picked up on the habit.
One thing in particularly that detracted from the novel, at least for me, was the realization that the events of the other three books have all been orchestrated by the Ferox. This came out of nowhere, and it takes a lot of the appeal from the story away. This series has been about a bunch of wildcards battling Kaijus after their leader stumbled into a position of power, after a career spent hunting bigfoot. Suddenly, it's about aliens choosing the protagonist to be their champion because they deemed him to be the best at it? Why, if not because he's unpredictable and filled with crazy ideas that no one in his right mind would have? I'd have expected such a twist from Peter Watts, but not from Jeremy Robinson.
Overall, it seems that this was written as an introduction to the final book of the series. The other three books, meanwhile, were great as standalone novels. I hope that this trend of enslaving the individual novels to the saga does not continue with Project Legion.

If you have enjoyed the previous Nemesis books you are going to want to take the day off work and spend it reading Project Hyperion. Jon, Nemesis and the gang are back, they have new enemies and new allies that just keep you turning the page.
Just when you think Jeremy Robinson cannot make the Nemesis series any better he goes and delivers a powerful one, two punch that leaves you reeling and begging for more.

Entertaining. But a bit like an audio version of a Michael Bey film. There is so much going on all the time you can lose track of who/what's what and who is fighting whom.
This is partly due to the narrator, who tends to drag his words out. Maybe that's just his particular American accent, but I found the story rather difficult to follow.
Nonetheless it was entertaining and I would download the next book.

As with the previous Project books, I loved it! Nemesis is her usual self, but Hyperion is super special. He's a robot, but what a robot. He's also huge, and can do many things. Fighting is a good specialty. Glad he was woken up by Maigo. They seem to have an affinity for each other. Can hardly wait for the next book in the series.

if you like Godzilla movies, you are gonna love this one, Kaiju is the new type of godzilla, huge creatures that are out for vengeance.
I highly recommend this series. It is full of adventure - and craziness. It will keep you in suspense on what is going to happen next.
i received this book in exchange for an honest review. i love this series.

A rare five-star review.

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

Each book in the Nemesis Saga has been able to top itself. Just when you think one can predict where a series is going to go, Jeremy takes you into another yet fun direction. Not only does he takes us into the Origin of Nemesis Prime but to her demise as well. The humor we expect in the Nemesis series is still there, but we also get into the Mind set of the Kaiju what a "voice" is to them. And with Katus Endo as the Voice of Nemesis, we feel what it's like to really be in control of a Kaiju. A giant robot is just the thing that was needed in this series. And the new Kaiju Both Lovecraft of Girger are the stuff of nightmaires. Which made it so much fun, Check it out!

It's hard to describe what is so much fun about this book without giving things away, but I'll give it a shot. Not only is this a great kaiju book, the story ties together characters from numerous Jeremy Robinson titles in a way that is wholly organic. Were the interactions planned from the beginning? It would be difficult to believe, but if anyone could do it, Robinson could. This book is a non-stop thrill ride and a killer summer read from beginning to end.
Now it's on to book #5. I can't wait!

I loved this addition to the kaiju saga!
I’ve skipped Project 731, read out of order. We’ve also been introduced to multiple dimensions/parallel Earths.
Jon’s now the director of The Department of Homeland Security’s Fusion Center-Paranormal, married, father to Maigo who was once a part of the kaiju Nemesis, goddess of vengeance & protector of Lilly a chimera cat-woman.
We’ve seen 2 new kaiju, Giger & Lovecraft and Hyperion (the giant robot).
This series is like if MIB had a baby with X-Files.
Keeps getting better!

Giant monsters + Ancient giant robot + Aliens + Mutant cat girls = All that is good in life.
Sue me, I've been a sucker for kids mind-melding with giant robots ever since young Rob melded his mind with Red Ronin back in the 70's Marvel Godzilla comics. Jeremy Robinson is basically a modern day Edgar Rice Burroughs, a professional pulp fiction writer who makes no bones about it and writes thoroughly entertaining pulp fiction.

Fun as usual, and new ideas were popping up left and right. I just love the way Jeremy Robinson writes. It's a lot of fun and engaging.
I will say this; there is a core experience and a full experience. I will, at this point, continue with the full experience. My reviews on Jeremy Robinson's book at this will be how they connect to the Nemesis saga and if I had fun with it. I can't see what crazy universe Jeremy Robinson came up with.

It's amazing how Jeremy Robinson keeps this series fresh. I mean how different can novels about giant monster be? Robinson adds a giant "robot" to this one and further passable details of the characters personal lives. It's the different agencies like GOD, and the human innovation that keeps the series interesting. I thought the ending of this one was a bit rushed, but still recommend for those who can suspend disbelief for alien, giant monsters.

Now in book #4, this continues to be a fun series about the clash of Kaijus. How do you get better than a 300 foot tall Godzilla like thing, add a 300 foot tall mech and several more massive Kaijus and have them all battle over Boston, Tokyo and Portland. Throw in a couple of alien races, some cool weapons tech, and lots of big booms and you have a fast-paced techno-thriller. Very entertaining.

Keeps the story moving forward
I think this book is a good read, my only comment is it feels very transitional from the concepts of the first three books and what seems to be coming next. The beloved characters are b.s. K, and I especially appreciate how Robinson unrequited and contemporary humor.

fast, fun, and downright silly.
novels about giant monsters? sounds dreadful, and I love giant monsters. but Jeremy Robinson keeps it loose and light. over the top adventure that approaches slapstick at times. if you like A. Lee Martinez, or Jim Butcher you're gonna feel right at home.

Taking my time with this series. Though I have one book left to read on it. Really enjoy all the characters in it from the human to the kaiju. Still keyed up on how it will all end, if end it does.

POWERFUL KAIJU FUN!
The human race faces the greatest challenge...beware of monsters!!! The continuing threat of giant monsters leads Hudson and his team to face the most powerful enemy imaginable with the aide of the least desirable help.

It is definitely different. Cat girl, ancient robot, big ass monsters. The book is fun and silly, while also further developing the familial nature of the main few characters. Not to mention the insane world building too!

Tremendous turnaround. Gripping from beginning to end. New worlds through the imagination of Jeremy Robinson just got bigger.

This book brings a great new twist into Robinson's kaiju series and sets up the final book perfectly!

This series is seriously getting out of hand. It's kind of ridiculous.
