Publisher's summary

He is an alpha predator, feared by all life on the planet Challenger. His pincers can crush steel, his razor-sharp mandibles can shred a hundred pounds of flesh in seconds, and his armor carapace is capable of deflecting anti-tank projectiles. His place in the ecosystem is reflected in his name: Caesar.

A beast of incredible size, he has a major appetite to satisfy. And now, he has a new item on the menu: humans.

When Corporal Richard Carson and his team entered cryosleep, they did not expect to awaken in two days for a whole new mission. An island research facility on the ocean planet Challenger has gone dark. Efforts to make radio contact have been unsuccessful.

When Carson and his team set down on the planet, they find the place in ruins. The radio tower has collapsed, the research station ripped open, the surviving staff in hiding.

As seismic activity shakes the side of the planet, the truth reveals itself. A pack of giant alien crustaceans, led by the gargantuan Caesar, storm the island. Following a devastating attack, the marines take defensive position in the remains of the station.

With their numbers depleted, their dropship destroyed, and no means of radioing for help, they are left with no choice but to fight Caesar and his pack of killer crabs.

Space Crabs

CAESAR by Michael Cole is great it honestly reminded me of another one of his books I liked Crab Attack except in space. The overall story flows really well and is never dull. The characters are amazingly written in this. I really enjoyed how complex the Corporal and the Dr. were. The crabs were def ferocious in this but I liked how there were other deadly creatures lurking about. Also naming the crabs was a great and fun idea really helping give them more character. I really do recommend this fun little adventure from Cole to anyone.

Monster vs Drama

Perhaps I had expectations that were too high.

I loved the premise.
However, I was disappointed with the fairly unoriginal characters & the heavy amounts of human drama.
This had me skipping ahead to get around long sections of “talking’” and I think I missed some of the set up.

When the story stuck to the dire situation, suspense had a chance to grow and I got captured by the frightening parts.

This might have been a real “edge of your seat” yarn in the hands of a slightly more skilled writer.
