The Kaiju Preservation Society Audiobook

I am on a Joe Scalzi trend. I just finished listening to The Kaiju Preservation Society is in Scalzi’s own words “a pop song.” And it is a fun one to enjoy.
For those that don’t know a Kaiju is a huge monster, Godzilla and the like.
According to story Kaiju aren’t animals, they more like living systems, huge living systems. So huge that they have parasites the size of dogs.
The story occurs during the beginning of the 2020 pandemic. Jamie Grey our protagonist goes to his six month review at FoodMood, only to find out that he is dismissed. Unable to find other employment as the world has been shut down, Jamie is forced to be a delivery driver for FoodMood.
It is during this humilating experience he delievers a Thai order to Tom Stevens an old acquaintance. Over several orders they reignigte their relationship. And it comes to help Jamie as FoodMood is boughtout by Uber, but everyone from FoodMood is released. Jamie shares this info with Tom, Tom gives him a business card for Jamie to contact about a job. Tom tells him its for the company he works for and he would be apart of his team.
Of course, Tom can’t share what the job is. Just that they work with endangered animals.
Jamie of course is brought in to the Kaiju Preservation Society. Where he learns that Kaiju actually exist, because there are multiple universes and therefore multiple Earths. But there is a parallel universe with an Earth that has Kaiju. And all it takes is an atomic explosion to open the border between our two worlds. The first incident occurring in the 40s with the testing of the atom bomb and the release of the first Kaiju which was the original Godzilla.
The purpose of the Kaiju Preservation Society is study Kaiju and to keep them on their side of the border and to keep us in the dark about the actual existence of Godzillas.
The story is fun and lively. I rather wished there was an actual Kaiju Preservation Society to go and work for.
The audiobook is narrated by the ever enjoyable Will Wheaton. Wheaton defiantly gets the nerdy references that Scalzi sprinkles throughout his novels. Little geeky eater eggs for Generation X readers.
This is a recommended listen for those that love fun sci-fi.
