The Kaiju Preservation Society

By John Scalzi

Book Overview

The Kaiju Preservation Society is John Scalzi's first standalone adventure since the conclusion of his New York Times bestselling Interdependency trilogy.

When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls "an animal rights organization." Tom's team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on.

What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at least. In an alternate dimension, massive dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm, human-free world. They're the universe's largest and most dangerous panda and they're in trouble.

It's not just the Kaiju Preservation Society who have found their way to the alternate world. Others have, too. And their carelessness could cause millions back on our Earth to die.

Customer Reviews

Who is yelling at clouds in Florida today?

Scalzi is a god in the pantheon of sci-fi. Another great book with pithy patter, call out to geeks and nerds and references to contemporary history. A wonder that a covid plague novella is able to hit the beats of pronouns, protests, gigs jobs with essential workers, but is loaded with humor

Funny, triumphant and weirdly sweet

I read The Kaiju Preservation Society TWICE IN A ROW. This is a fun book. I thought it described the science of this world very well, the characters are wonderful, and Scalzi writes terrific dialogue. I know it's crass to say, but this book would make an excellent film!
