When I wrote Project Nemesis it was a labor of love, more for myself than any kind of money-making career goal. I had no idea the the book would go on to become the bestselling original (not from a previously created character: Godzilla) kaiju novel ever, that the character, Nemesis, would be featured in a video game (Colossal Kaiju Combat: The Fall of Nemesis) or that it would attract a bevy of rabid fans creating fan art and fan fiction. I’ve been blown away by the response to my monstrous creation. So, it’s with great excitement, that I release the latest entry into the Kaiju Thriller genre, Project 731.Speaking of Kaiju Thrillers, how cool is it that other books are appearing with the “Kaiju Thriller” genre tag I created?! Not only am I thrilled to read more Kaiju books, but now I can take credit for coining the name for a new literary sub genre!
Okay, on to the book!
As you might have already guessed,Project 731 fully merges the stories of Island 731, and Project Maigo/Nemesis, bringing together characters and monsters from both series. More than that, it sets up some big things for a future event novel that is, to my knowledge, unheard of in novels, relegated only to the world of comic books. I speak specifically of a massive crossover event, bringing characters and story lines from multiple books together in one story. So if you’re a fan of my other novels, this is a pivotal novel for things to come, setting in motion something that has been building for nearly ten years. And before you ask, the crossover event will likely happen in 2016.

Summary:
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 three 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.
With Project Nemesis and Project Maigo, Jeremy Robinson created a new literary subgenre known as the ‘Kaiju Thriller,’ a term now being adopted by other authors. With movies such as Godzilla and Pacific Rim treating audiences to new Kaiju stories, Robinson has single-handedly launched the fiction world’s bestselling original kaiju series (not based on a pre-existing film). In Project 731, we not only see the return of Hawkins, Lilly and Joliet from Island 731, we learn how the reborn Maigo has adapted, and–at last–discover the origins of Nemesis!
