description: The alien Rell, a mysterious and warlike race, are challenging human space and threatening invasion of the colony on Carefree. And Doc Sawyer, head of MMI, and his teenage son, Rob, are caught in the middle of it.Carefree is one of the galactic Rim worlds, and the Sawyers have come here to set up their experimental biogenetic engineering company, MMI. They produce genetically altered animals to aid in the exploration and development of new planets for settlement—and they also produce monsters as pets and for promotional use. “Yes, Virginia, there is a godzilla,” is their marketing spiel.There have been a series of accidents at MMI, which indicate the possibility of sabotage. As the story opens, the security fences have gone down and a number of monsters have escaped their island compound. Rob must round them up on land and in the water. Unfortunately, one of them, a feisty, three-foot-tall godzilla, has made it to the mainland and invaded the domains of the ritziest resort hotel on the planet, where, frightened but determined, it wreaks havoc with the grounds and buildings, finally leading Rob on a dangerous and hilarious chase through the heating ducts.In the course of his rescue of this godzilla, Rob meets Shandi, a rich young girl who will play an important role in the events to come. For this attack on MMI reveals the opening ploy in an insidious plan that Doc, Rob, and Shandi set out to stop before Carefree becomes an enslaved dominion of the Rell.
