Título: Project Legion: (A Kaiju Thriller)
Autor: Jeremy Robinson
Sinopse: THE SIGNAL WAS RECEIVED Ten years after a deep space transmission was broadcast from a futuristic citadel hidden in the Arctic ice, Jon Hudson finds himself in a position beyond comprehension. His days of lazy Sasquatch hunting on behalf of the DHS’s Fusion Center—Paranormal (FC-P) have been a fading memory since the appearance of Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance, reborn through genetic tinkering. Now he longs for those quiet days once more. THE AEROS HAVE RETURNED Facing down giant kaiju has become almost commonplace for Hudson and the FC-P, who he regards as his family, but the threat now facing them is global. An alien race known as the Aeros, summoned to Earth ten years ago, have arrived in orbit, hell-bent on destroying their ancient enemy, the Ferox, along with all of humanity…in all dimensions of reality. ALL EARTHS WILL BE DESTROYED Facing off against an invasion of city-destroying kaiju, a massive mothership and an assault in a parallel world, Hudson must bolster the FC-P’s ranks. Joined by Milos ‘Cowboy’ Vesely, Hudson must journey through alternate dimensions to gather a one-of-a-kind legion of defenders, including a smart-mouthed soldier, a woman who can animate the lifeless, a time traveler, a robot-man, a powerful king and an assassin who can slip between frequencies of reality. With Project Legion, Jeremy Robinson has created an epic series finale, bringing together characters and plot elements from more than a dozen different novels and series. The result is a crossover novel, ten years in the making, the likes of which have never been seen outside of comic books and movies like Captain America – Civil War. Project Legion is an apocalyptic end to the first story arc of the bestselling kaiju-thriller series: The Nemesis Saga. Novels whose characters or plot elements are featured in Project Legion include: The Nemesis Saga, Island 731, The Didymus Contingency, Raising the Past, Nazi Hunter: Atlantis, The Last Hunter (The Antarktos Saga), Xom-B (aka: Uprising), the Jack Sigler Thrillers and MirrorWorld. Also mentioned are elements from the following novels: Refuge, Kronos and Beneath. Although reading all these novels is NOT a prerequisite for enjoying Project Legion, they will help flesh out the included characters.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Breakneck Media levam o leitor a universos onde a ciência, o sobrenatural e o apocalipse se entrelaçam em narrativas intensas e cheias de suspense. As histórias frequentemente exploram personagens imortais ou marcados por torturas físicas e psicológicas, enfrentando realidades distorcidas e ameaças que vão de criaturas gigantescas a inteligências artificiais instáveis. O ritmo costuma ser acelerado, com reviravoltas que desafiam a percepção do que é real, enquanto o tom mistura tensão, mistério e ação. O catálogo indica uma preferência por enredos que transitam entre o espaço sideral, ambientes pós-apocalípticos e cenários sombrios, com protagonistas que lutam contra forças tanto externas quanto internas.
