The Kaiju Preservation Society: Shortlisted for the 2023 Hugo Award for Best Novel

Product Information

James (Jamie) Gray hatte nach seinem Magister in Anglistik begonnen in einer Art Parallelbetrieb zu Uber Eats als Marketingspezialist zu arbeiten - und wurde aus mehr oder minder klaren Gründen nach der Präsentation einer Spitzenidee mit dem Job eines Auslieferfahrers 'belohnt', was er zunächst ablehnte. Doch es blieb ihm keine Wahl und so trifft er einen alten Kommilitonen, der ihm einen neue, sehr geheimen Job im Tierschutz anbietet.n

Jamie Gray is fired just as the COVID-19 pandemic sweeps the world, and thus is forced to work as a food delivery driver. One day, Jamie runs into an old acquaintance named Tom, who says he works for a NGO that works with large animals. He gives Jamie a card and a job offer. Jamie agrees and is soon on a plane to Greenland.What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, massive dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world. They're the universe's largest and most dangerous panda, and they're in trouble. I whipped through it in one evening, and it's the kind of book I might read again sometime, just for the sheer enjoyment of it.

Deliverationing,” Rob repeated. “That’s what our deliverators do. They deliverate. So, deliverationing.” The first and last words that Rob says to Jamie in the story are the same: "Jamie Gray? Let's do this." The first time, it's right before Jamie's performance review meeting. The second time, it's right before Rob tries to murder Jamie with a shotgun. 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 and human-free world. They’re the universe’s largest and most dangerous panda and they’re in trouble.
