In 2013, an interdimensional portal called the Breach opens at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, from which giant monsters, the Kaiju, emerge, destroying various cities across the Pacific Rim. Each Jaeger is piloted by two to three pilots, who are mentally linked in a process called drifting to share the mental stress of piloting the machine.

Novelizations aren’t just a transcription of the film story. They also add details and backstory to the plot in a literary way.
“Awful film adaptations follow novelists for the rest of their lives.”
