This is a group for speculative fiction fa ns (science fiction/fantasy) who would like to read and discuss genre lite rature. Each month we'll have a discussion about a book\, either a new rel ease or an older book (but ideally something that most people haven't read yet)\, that we've read before meeting.
\nIn February we will be dis cussing "The Kaiju Preservation Society" by \;John Scalzi:
\nWhen COVID-19 sweeps through New York City\, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dea d-end driver for food delivery apps. That is\, until Jamie makes a deliver y to an old acquaintance\, Tom\, who works at what he calls "an animal rig hts organization." Tom's team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things o n their next field visit. Jamie\, eager to do anything\, immediately signs on.
\nWhat 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 alte rnate dimension\, massive dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world. They're the universe's largest and most dangerous pa nda and they're in trouble.
\nIt's not just the Kaiju Prese rvation Society that's found its way to the alternate world. Others have\, too--and their carelessness could cause millions back on our Earth to die .
