Nemesis Saga #3
Project 731
WASHINGTON D.C. HAS BEEN DESTROYED
In the wake of a Kaiju assault that left the nation’s capital in ruins, Jon Hudson, director of the Department of Homeland Security’s Fusion Center – Paranormal, is preparing his team for an uncertain future. While hiding Lilly, a chimera cat-girl rescued from Island 731, from GOD—the Genetic Offense Directive, a black ops organization within DARPA—Hudson attempts to raise Maigo, the teenage girl who once was part of Nemesis, the now deceased goddess of vengeance. But the two strange girls can’t be protected from what comes next.
NEMESIS LIVES
Kept in a massive warehouse operated by GOD, Nemesis’s body is violated by the Tsuchi, spider-like chimera also developed on Island 731. It spawns Kaiju-sized variations of the deadly creatures and wakes Nemesis from her regenerative slumber. Nemesis, fueled by an unquenchable thirst for vengeance, and now lacking Maigo’s conscience, storms after the Tsuchi, which have fled south, toward Los Angeles, and inland...toward GOD’s headquarters at Area 51.
SACRIFICES MUST BE MADE
To stop the infinitely hungry Tsuchi, and the rampaging Nemesis, Hudson and crew must make alliances with enemies, combining personal experience, future technology and bold actions. But for the world to once again be safe from a Kaiju menace, one of their own must give themselves up to the goddess of vengeance.

In "Project 731," the third installment of the Nemesis series by Jeremy Robinson, narrated by the talented Jeffrey Kafer, readers are treated to a classic Robinson experience—expansive in scope, with a high body count, and filled with fantastical plot events. Kafer's performance only adds to the thrill, making it a fun and engaging read.

Goddamnit, Robinson. You had one job. ONE JOB.
That job was to NOT make me spend all my money on more of your books.
Too late. I just went and spent more money on another of your books.
This one is awesome.
A great sequel to TWO previous works that led me to buy the prequel tie-in as soon as I finished this one.
Brilliant.

ABR's full Project 731: A Kaiju Thriller audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.
The start of this book picks up with references to “Island 731, Project Nemesis, and Project Maigo” . The “Darwin” is a research ship that was looking for it’s missing sister ship “Magellan.” The location was the huge garbage dump in the Pacific ocean. It is also close to where Island 731 used to be.
The ship appears to be deserted. A team of Black Ops is approaching with orders to board and search the ship. They do and they find what they were expected to find. One of them will die to bring back a sample of “Black Matter”.
I have finished “Island 731″ and it was an extremely good read. Evan though I have not read the next two books I can figure out what happened and want to read them also.
The characters are so well developed that you just know it will be a fantastic story. The plot is still the monsters from the earlier books but now Jon Hudson and Mark Hawkins have so much more to fight for. The depth of their feelings for the people they are protecting is obvious. Jon and his crew are training Lilly, the chimera cat-girl that he rescued from Island 731. They also have another girl, Maigo, the teenage girl who once was part of Nemesis.
Jon is also getting really serious about his girlfriend Ashley Collins.
I can’t get enough of the technology that Robinson has come up with. The fly suits are a reality but in this time they have improved tremendously. Other weapons are also improved and the armor the “bad” guys have is incredible.
Along with all this is the plane. But the best part of any monster thriller is the monsters and these have reached a whole new level.
I know there will be more of this series coming in the future. Can’t wait to find out what Robinson comes up with next.
I have the audio version of the book read by Jeffery Kafer. (Hope I got his name right.) He is super at this type of book. He has a great voice. Not to deep or too high. Bringing the story to life he takes the listener to the front of the action.
Audio production was perfect. No problem with static, skips, or breaks. A perfect recording.

Takes the Big Fucking Spiders from Island 731 and makes them BIGGER and BADDER. We get more of the covert organization within DARPA and more wild genetic monstrosities. Chuckled a lot at seeing my hometown of Los Angeles used as a playground between two Kaiju duking it out, and we have Maigo as a human!!! The character relationships in this book were fantastic and what I keep coming back to this series for (besides the giant monsters). Can’t wait for the next one.

April 26, 2018great book if youy love monsters like godzilla then this is a great one to read but start with island 731 and go from there

What Project 731 has more than anything is a sense of gloriously pulpy action sci-fi fun. The vibe is akin to an Avengers movie crossed with one of the more light-hearted episodes of Stargate SG-1. Every few chapters there are more crazy physics-defying ideas thrown in, from futuristic technology (vehicles, weapons, you name it) to aliens to superpowers.
Heck, it more or less is a written Avengers movie but with 350 foot tall monsters thrown in the mix. Godzilla appeared in an Avengers comic once upon a time and who wouldn’t want to see that on film? For now, there’s this.
Project Maigo also threw some cool ideas around but to me it was wide of the mark in a number of respects. Thankfully, for my money Project 731 is better in every way. The new kaiju designs are more interesting. The plot is stronger and more focused and the pacing is more balanced. There’s a better flow between large and small-scale action sequences interspersed with more substantial attempts at character development and interaction.
The pop-culture references are also back in force. Their impact will fade over the years but for now they’re amusing. There’s a particularly neat sequence poking fun at the ‘Let them fight!’ quote from the 2014 Godzilla movie.
The back story from Island 731 comes to the fore this time around. That wasn’t hugely surprising, but what was a surprise was to find major plot developments towards the end of the book explicitly reference Robinson’s earlier work ‘Raising the Past’. This retcon offers insight into how fluidly the series is being made up on the fly.
Robinson says that shortly before starting Project 731 he contemplated making it the end of the series. Instead, he’s obviously had a ‘Eureka!’ moment and bolted on ideas from an earlier, standalone novel which one presumes will radically alter the course of the series and provide a large portion of the plot for at least one future instalment.
Speaking of which, my Project Hyperion order unlocked on Kobo mere minutes before posting this review. Project 731 did much to allay my concerns over Project Maigo so I hope the next episode is more hit than miss. In short, if this series interests you at all then it is worth pushing through to this point.

Originally read 29 Nov 2014; re-read 23 Oct 2016
This would have to be one of the best Jeremy Robinson books I've read so far (and I've read everything he has written, again 'so far'). A fantastic amalgamation of the characters from Island 731 and the "Project" series, Jeremy has written a taut, action-packed, kaiju thriller that will make you turn the pages faster and faster. If you're an avid reader of Jeremy's, you'll notice a few references to his other books and worlds scattered throughout the book.
Beware as there may be spoilers ahead:

As if the BFSs of Island 731 weren't scary enough, and as if the thought of Nemesis strolling through your city didn't make you wet your pants, Jeremy has outdone himself with the new monsters. I've never been more creeped out in a book in my life. He puts Peter Jackson to shame with the pure horror factor of his spider-monsters, the Tsuchi. It was like reading my nightmares come to life! Jon Hudson is a wonderful character, and I found myself snorting frequently at his dry wit and pop culture references.
At times heartbreaking, Project 731 is more than just a thrill ride. It really explores the meaning of right vs wrong and what it means to make the ultimate sacrifice. Project 731 appears to be the start of a whole new series in which the world will be thrown into massive turmoil, and Nemesis just may end up being the key to the survival of the human race.

If you have never read a Jeremy Robinson book, please do not start with this one. Read or listen (the audiobooks are fantastic) to Island 731 and Project's Nemesis & Maigo, it really will help when reading Project 731 (the title says it all). There are quite a few easter eggs in this book from Jeremy's other books, which I think people will love. I had a few a-ha moments myself.
As always, the action is fast paced and you can't help but keep turning the pages. Cities will be destroyed, relationships will be tested and you may even question who 'the bad guy' actually is. We see familiar characters back and the interactions are brilliant. I always forget how funny Jon Hudson is, until I read in a public place. The strange looks to my laugh out loud moments are worth it though. Jeremy Robinson has this amazing ability to totally immerse you in a story and to keep you thinking about it long after you've finished reading. The art gallery is a perfect addition to the book.

Jeremy Robinson outdid even himself with this book. I had forgotten how much fun it was to read a Jon Hudson book. Reading this book was a blast and I loved all the previous books but this one outdid them. Combining Island 731 with Project Nemesis was genius! As a fan of all things Robinson/Bishop, I was smiling ear to ear with all the Easter eggs thrown around that you might not catch but to true fans could see a mile away. If you are looking for a great Kaiju book, look no further, if you are looking for a fun and funny book to read, it's right here. You won't be disappointed, Nemesis is this generations Godzilla.
February 13, 2015
Best of the series! Action, adventure, death and destruction, all the good Godzilla-type stuff but America gets stomped and clobbered instead of Japan, with enough humor thrown in to keep you from getting depressed.
Start with Island 731 and Project Nemesis, then Project Maigo, and in then in this one, Project 731, all the characters from the two series are truly working together as a team, and what a team they are. Small spoiler: the characters you learn to like and care for, survive to the end of this one.
For now, just downloaded Raising the Past by Robinson, because this story line is blending in as well. The stage is set for the next book in the Kaiju series!

Project 731, the third kaiju book by Jeremy Robinson, is an awesome sequel to Project Nemesis and Project Maigo, as well as Robinson's Island 731. Nemesis vs 731. It's got all the bells and whistles of a good action/sci-fi story, and a good monster vs monster story all rolled into one. Nemesis should very well be America's original Kaiju, even though she already is in my book!
January 18, 2015
Finally, it all comes together. So glad I'll get a break till the next one. There will be a next one, won't there? Seriously, this book gives you so many answers from the other 3. And like the others, they are very fast reads. If you like mystery, a few wacky characters, monsters!, and some serious kick-ass action, you'll love these books.
March 15, 2021
I love these books so much. Granted, I remember watching all of the (at that point current) Godzilla movies as a kid and loving (most of) them! Then there is the general wit and humor and heart that these books are filled with. Can't wait to start the next one.
August 16, 2015
It was so boring that I didn't even care who won the battles. Blech.
September 1, 2018
Jeremy Robinson does a deft job of blending action and character development in a pulpy, fun manner. I’ve had a blast reading through his Kaiju series—it has all the great elements of a Kaiju flick and a minor soap opera to keep the stakes high and the humanity present.
I leave his books for the parts of the day where I feel like I need to switch off my brain and just enjoy mindless entertainment, but that’s not fair nor is it accurate. I switch my mind from business and tasks at hand to be engaged in a problem larger than myself (big monsters fighting) amongst people engaging each other in a range of complicated, Real relationships. I’m reminded of the myths of different cultures where the resonance begins to shine when humanity is reflected on a regularly, daily level amongst the grand and amazing wonders of life. I’m having a great time and enjoying the series and his writing.
Project 731 kept delivering big monster fights with human developments and then taking this series into a completely different direction.

Ok, Captain Cryptic. Maybe you should add dark and brooding to your e-harmony account
While listening to the audiobook version, I thought to myself more than once 'Did Rod Serling return from the grave to narrate this?' But the voice perfectly fits the dry, sardonic humor. I definitely recommend listening to this one - unless you just hate audiobooks.
What I thought would be nothing more than a quick weekend listen, a mindless action romp, actually turned out to be surprisingly good! Sure, it involves giant monsters capable of leveling Los Angeles, along with secret military organizations with silly acronyms but it knows what it is and fortunately doesn't take itself too seriously.
But it's certainly not a comedy. The characters are fairly well developed, but I jumped into the series at book #3 (it was on sale) and didn't feel completely lost. I'm definitely going to go back and listen from book one.

The third offering in the series had a lot going for it. So great that Lily, Maigo, and the other supporting cast, or at least the more interesting ones, had more of a role in this action-packed scifi thriller. There were parts of the plot that were far more interesting than the first two books of the series. For some reason this book took me a ridiculously long time to read for it's length.
The UFO angle was a good revelation, I wouldn't call it a twist. The humor was perhaps the best part especially in the first person coming from Jon. These kaiju novels are light and can only be taken just so seriously. It wasn't all humor and sunshine, much of the battle scenes between the kaiju creatures was a little confusing and started to drag about two-thirds in. I'm still hooked so bring on the fourth installment.

What a fun romp! And by romp, I mean half a million people smashed to bits and at least 3 major US cities completely destroyed.
Project 731 by Jeremy Robinson completely scratched the itch I had for something different and creature-feature-y. I found this book to be a cross between a Godzilla movie and Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim movies. I can't do better than Goodreads at a summary of the storyline - just know that the story has great characters, super-fast-paced action and lots of interesting surprises. As this is the third in the book series, I'll have to go back now and start at #1!

Jeremy Robinson continues his excellent series of Kaiju thrillers, and doesn't fail to entertain. this book expands further on the mystery of nemesis, the clandestine agencies involved in the series, and focuses a great deal on human scale drama for a good portion of the book. once it gets into the Kaiju battle, however, we have long swathes of cinematic fights. the enemy kaiju is an interesting creature in both form and functionality, and the author handles them well. finally he manages a handful of twists and turns that keep you guessing. If you enjoyed the first two books You'll enjoy this one as well, even more so if you are a Jeremy Robinson fan beyond the Nemesis saga, as it ties in with several other series in his repertoire. This series has inspired me to continue working on my own kaiju-thriller project, and provided me with plenty of enjoyment as the story continues to grow and evolve. At the time of writing i have bought his other two nemesis saga books and am reading the next in the series, which also continues to fascinate and entertain.

I got sucked into this series. And it branches off to others. So I really got sucked into Robinson's world. I already have the next book lined up, plus Island 731 where Lilly is introduced for the first time. The humor is spot on for how I like it mixed in with my action. Plus the kaiju are definitely the main reason I grabbed the first book.
This all leads up to next two books and lays a nice foundation. Will the series end then? Or will Robinson pull out another book. I have to read on to find out.

Another great addition to Jeremy Robinson's nemesis saga! this book does a great job tying is book island 731 into his nemesis series, he manages to mix island 731's horror with the over the top cheesy Godzilla style action of the series. The new kaiju designed by Matt Frank make a classic addition to Jeremy's monster "pantheon" I guess you could call it. I would recommend this book to fans of Godzilla and Alien becuse the book is chocked full of not so subtle references to both.

I read this faster than book 2 because it is better! I liked the new characters which added a better range of emotion to the book. Robinson again delivers a good mix of elements he did in book 2 and ups the ante with a great new monster right out of a scifi/horror film! I'm already a few chapters into book 4!

Just like his other books Jeremy Robinson mixes the horror of a Giant monster with the funniest dialogue of the people that are in this mess. I can't help but form a fast connection with Joh Hudson and his team of misfits. Tsuchi is a great addition to the Kaiju mythos and getting killed by a Kaiju described by Jeremy is a thing of Horrifying beauty. I can't wait to get the rest of the series!

For some reason, I find great entertainment in Kaiju movies and books. This series by Jeremy Robinson is perfect thought free reading. Big monster come, big monster fight other big monsters, smart courageous humans help defeat bad big monsters. Now Robinson has added aliens to the mix, which makes the next books even more fun. If you like Godzilla type stuff, this will be great for you.

I couldn't have but felt this book was fast. Though with the BFS around it does make sense. Characters are still great as usual and monster fights are awesome. Then the little twist at the end, big fan of it a lot of laughs.

Outstanding
I don't usually get into this genre of Kaiju, storytelling; that having been said, I love all the plot, and characters in Jeremy Robinson books....this was an outstanding read, can't wait to read the next in the series...

There is a lot of really good action in this book. The Kaiju team is filling out nicely so there are new characters to enjoy. I liked the new monster in this one because it was a bit like the Xenomorph. I'm already looking forward to the next one!
