Homicide Detective John Dudek is dying. The result of a night of self-indulgence after learning that the love of his life is pregnant and getting married to another man. He is offered one chance to survive. A chance given to him by a giant, talking, thousand-year-old sea turtle. He can live. But only if he saves the entire world first. Dudek's encounter leaves him questioning everything. As this is happening, he begins to investigate the disappearance of a medical researcher and learns that he is now part of a secret government program involving deadly plagues and mind control. His other cases get even more bizarre. They start to reveal a possible holy war between rock star/alien/antichrist worshippers and beautiful, murderous, scuba girls. Dudek soon finds himself in a world of ray guns and space spiders facing cosmic invaders and giant Godzilla-like monsters trying to enslave mankind. The world he must save if he is to save himself and the amazing young woman he has fallen in love with. As dark, tragic and unsettling as it is imaginative, KAIJU takes the reader on a journey they will never forget.
