From the director of the hit film Godzilla Minus One comes the novelization packed with even more action and story to celebrate Godzilla’s 70th anniversary! In postwar Japan, the kaiju of legend has become even more powerful and fearsome. Can a country in shambles withstand the might of Godzilla?

In post-World War II Japan, the citizens are left picking up the pieces in the aftermath. As millions find new homes and bury their loved ones, they must adjust to a new way of life. For disgraced kamikaze soldier Koichi Shikishima, he’s lost everyone and everything he loves and is left living with survivor’s guilt. But when he meets Noriko Oishi, a young woman who’s also lost everything, and the baby she rescued, he finds a new purpose. As the two begin a new life to survive and raise baby Akiko, Koichi’s new job puts him face to face with something terrible, something he thought had only been a nightmare from his time at war. A monster mutated by the U.S. government’s nuclear tests is making its way toward mainland Japan, and nothing seems to be able to stop its path of destruction. 

Godzilla rises from the sea with Japan in its sights. Can a country devastated by war withstand the might of the king of monsters? 

The novelization of the hit movie is now available in English print!
