Jamie Gray has been rudely fired from a tech startup and is forced to get a job delivering food right as COVID-19 hit New York City. So when a regular customer offers a high-paying job at the mysterious KPS, Jamie jumps at the chance. Turns out "KPS" stands for Kaiju Preservation Society, and spends most of its time at a parallel world that is home to huge nuclear monsters, a la Godzilla. While most of the people on the KPS team are super-intelligent scientists, Jamie's job is, to quote, "picking things up and carrying them." But even that brings Jamie into way-too-close proximity to the giant creatures and the not-quite-as-giant parasites that feed on them.
This book is not meant to inspire deep thought. It's a popcorn book, just as summer blockbuster movies are popcorn movies. It's fun, it's crazy, it's full of action, and it's a quick read. I loved it, and I'll be recommending it all over the place, particularly to fans of Jurassic Park, Godzilla, and snark.
