Titan Wars: Rise of the Kaiju

by M.C. Norris

Millions of microscopic alien life forms escape a sample canister of water from the frigid depths of outer space. Invisible to the naked eye, a menacing menagerie of more than seventy deadly species react to Earth’s warm and fertile seas by launching into metabolic overdrive. Waves of gargantuan abominations begin to rise from the sea, transforming our world into a zoo without cages, where humans plunge to the bottom of the food chain.

In dire need of a zookeeper, the Allied Navy turns to “Psyjack,” a bickering geek squad with an outrageous plan to hack into the minds of the megafauna with some reengineered neurosurgical technology.

Is there a sequel?

Kept me interested constantly, good world-building and impressive creatures. Curious to find out more that happens in this crazy world

Just...immediately bad. Norris just jumps right in without much context. Immediately goes through several different scenes with different sets of characters and doesn't really bother to establish any of them. Which is fine if you're writing a book that's focused on the action more than the characters, but even the action felt boring. So I'm quitting very, very early. Maybe it gets better. The summary sounded cool. But I am not sticking around to find out.
