This sophisticated sci-fi thriller is set in the year 2001. A team of young science students makes an eerie discovery. Miles below the surface of the South Pole, the Ancient Ones, a race of crystalline beings, have awakened after a million years, horrified to find "their" world infected by a plague of humans. To eliminate humanity, the Ancient Ones create an army of cybernetic monsters who lay waste to South America, China, and Russia before descending upon Japan to do battle with Godzilla. The young scientists in Antarctica and Godzilla, King of the Monsters, are humanity's last line of defense against the giant monster army of the Ancient Ones. Nonstop action and thrilling battles will keep young adult readers glued to the page!

This sequel picks up after Godzilla 2000 ends (appropiately enough). There are plenty of in-joke references to Emmerich and Devlin's Independence Day and their own Godzilla film's add compaign. There are also references to other classic SF flicks, notably John Carpenter's superlative version of The Thing, and H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulthu Mythos stories. Sadly the humans eclipse some of the monster action. Kaiju classic creatures Megalon and Hedorah, The Smog Monster feel tacked on rather than parts of the main plot. But the ending is incredible and leaves the reader wanting more. If only the monsters had been better handled.

Whoa! What a story! Godzilla now faces his biggest challenge and goes from chapter to chapter fighting off the likes of Manda, Megalon, and others. I liked how Godzilla was more of a main character, and his battles were cool. I also liked how Angilas whipped Gigan! However, Gigan didn't put up much of a fight! The book was absolutely first rate with many cool scenes, especially the final battle between Godzilla and Biollante! If you were dissapointed by GODZILLA 2000, don't overlook this one, it,stoo good to be true!

A review of this book posted on June 8, 1998, described this book as libertarian. The reviewer meant that as a criticism, but I would take that as a compliment! =) While I really enjoy Godzilla movies, I am usually annoyed by the way in which they negatively stereotype businessmen (in the forms of Mr. Tako, Jiro Torahatta, Mr. Okouchi, Takeshi Tomokane, etc.). Mr. Cerasini's ethical CEO character Mycroft E. Endicott was a refreshing change of pace. And the satires on Greenpeace are hilarious because they're so accurate!
Whoops! I don't want to give the reader the impression that this is a political book. The descriptions of military hardware are most impressive, and the characteristics of Manda, Megalon, Gigan, Biollante, Battra etc. are very true to the originals. I have to admit that, since I'm a very introverted person, I didn't care much for the author making a villain out of an introvert and outcast, but I don't think it detracts from the book too much. Anyway, this is a great read!

Too overwritten
Godzilla at World's End was a disapointing reading expereince. Here the writer is trying to tell six or seven different stories at once and each one fails to capture the attention... Lesen Sie weiter...

ONE OF THE BEST!
I enjoyed reading the third book of the G-series. Cerasini has good knowledge of Godzilla. I like having more than a couple of monsters for Godzilla to fight. Lesen Sie weiter...
