About this listen
Jon Hudson, lead investigator for the Department of Homeland Security's Fusion Center-P, thinks his job is a joke. While other Fusion Centers focus on thwarting terrorist activity, Hudson's division is tasked with handling paranormal threats to national security, of which there have been zero during his years at the DHS. When yet another Sasquatch sighting leads to a research facility in the backwoods of Maine, disguised as an abandoned Nike missile site, Hudson's job becomes deadly serious.
Hudson and the local Sherriff, Ashley Collins, suddenly find themselves on the run from a ruthless ex-Special Forces security team, but the human threat is short-lived as something very much not-human destroys the facility and heads for civilization, leaving only a single clue behind-a name scrawled in blood-Nemesis. Working with his team at Fusion Center-P, Sherriff Collins and a surly helicopter pilot named Woodstock, Hudson pursues the creature known as Nemesis, attempts to uncover the corporate secrets behind its creation and accidental release, and tries to comprehend why several clues lead to a murdered little girl named Maigo.
But as the body-count explodes, along with the monster's size, it quickly becomes clear that nothing short of a full military response can slow Nemesis's progress. Coordinating with every branch of the U.S. military, Hudson simultaneously searches for clues about Nemesis's origins and motivations, and leads the counterattack that will hopefully stop the monster before it reaches Boston and its one million residents.
Witness the birth of a legend as Jeremy Robinson, bestselling author of SecondWorld and Ragnarok, combines the pacing of Matthew Reilly with the mystery of James Rollins and creates the first iconic American Kaiju* story since King Kong.
*Kaiju is Japanese for "strange beast." The genre includes classic monsters such as Godzilla, Gamera, Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah.

Very Good.
I really enjoyed this story. I found it quite hard to put down. The narrator brought the characters to life and it was always easy to know who was saying what.

A bit silly, but fun
What did you like most about Project Nemesis?
Solidly good performance with a fun premise (albeit requiring plenty of suspension of disbelief).
If you’ve listened to books by Jeremy Robinson before, how does this one compare?
This was my first.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Just about anything with Woodstock involved. Not because his character is outstanding, but because the visualisation of those scenes sticks in my mind well.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Steady on! This isn't epic literature here, this is good pulp fiction.
Any additional comments?
The ending is telegraphed from a long way out but that isn't too big a problem. It's a bit short, but rattles along at a good pace and I'll probably read the inevitable sequel.

Great Surprise
i went into this book with average expectations with this book and to my utter shock was blown away. Very cool take on the kaiju genre and i loved how not all the monsters were big creatures.
Highly reccomended!

Good overall but felt unfinished
Good narration but the story lacked any real depth and so felt too short. It felt a bit like a prequel to something.

Great original Kaiju story
Really enjoyed this story when I first read it upon release and loved it even more going back again on audiobook.
Jeffrey Kafer does a great job of bringing Jeremy Robinson's words to life from start to finish. The story starts (necessarily) slowly to show Nemesis' origins but quickly speeds up once she's released upon the world. From that point it's non-stop action.
Great, enjoyable story and I'll be getting straight onto the next one in the series!

I'll have a pint of what he's on.
Bloody hell, I don't know how he can sleep with ideas like this running around his head. By turns comedic, touching and genuinely horrific this book grabs hold and doesn't let go. Not your run of the mill creature feature, I would recommend this book to anyone.
And as usual Keffer does an excellent job.

A full on joyride
Where does Project Nemesis rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Not the usual audiobook I would go for but it is one of the best I've listened to this year
What did you like best about this story?
It's a roller coaster of action and thrills each time you think it's over the storyline twists and sends you in a totally different direction. This is a solid story that will have me looking for more books from the author in the very near future
What does Jeffrey Kafer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Jeffrey Kafer pulls you into the story with ease his voice brings each character to life and makes you care for there safety
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Godzilla with ladies problems
