Godzilla - A Novelization

This is a novelization of the first Godzilla ("Gojira") film from 1954, translated from the original Japanese. While it follows the basic story, there are several points of interest for hard-core Godzilla fans. Almost like an alternative reality, some of the key points are different while some issues are explained in more detail. For example, it is Ogata and Emiko who are engaged; it is revealed how Serizawa lost an eye; more background on Yamane and his family. A unique look at the biggest movie star ever.
