"The Kaiju Preservation Society" by John Scalzi

Imagine if you will, "Jurassic Park" only with snarky Millennials and Godzilla-like creatures put through a Lovecraftian filter and set on an alternate Earth.

Then set it at the beginning of the COVID pandemic.

That, my friends, is "The Kaiju Preservation Society", by John Scalzi. And my current favorite book (or in my top five, anyway).

I'm honestly not sure what else to say about the book without spoiling things. It's filled with wonder, hilarity, and has a suitable villain for our times. The protagonists are engaging and fun while the setting is awesome.

I'll be shocked if this isn't picked up by HBO or Netflix or someone and converted into a series. Hopefully it will be converted by someone who knows their shit instead of some hacks who will destroy the fun parts.
