    "Best MHI Book To Date"

    You know, often it seems hard to top the first book in a series when everything is so fresh and new. Well, four books later I am amazed at how much this series has progressed. Unlike some authors I don't find Larry Correia unnecessarily repeating himself and providing dull moments. This book's predecessor focused on Earl Harbinger in a side story. Now in book four Owen Zastava Pitt is back and keeping Las Vegas safe with his normal badassery while attending the first monster hunter convention. Suffice to say, there is no lack of action and humor as Owen shoots, kicks, punches, and is in the center of enough general mayhem to blast him into a nightmare dimension. For the most part this book is about the convergence of forces in the battle of good versus evil. Characters from Earl Harbingers book 3 make an appearance and we get a look at monster hunters from around the world. We also find some new possibilities for ongoing bad guys. At the end of the novel Pitt and his brother are finally heading to confront their dad for his last story. It seems the next tale in this series will be very promising. I can't wait.

    Would you listen to Monster Hunter Legion again? Why?

    The mystery behind what is causing all the trouble. It's a real nail bitter.


    What other book might you compare Monster Hunter Legion to and why?

    There are very few books you can compare it to. It's almost a stand alone.


    What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?

    Exhalent and fun as always.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    What happens in LosVages doesn't always stay in Vagas.

    "Did not see this coming. An awsome series!"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes I would. Great read/listen a good mix of humor and excitement.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The mix of funny and serious.


    Any additional comments?

    I found myself laughing because the lead character "Pitt" is a regular type of guy that responds to crazy situations like a regular guy would. The rest of the characters are not unlike the people I hangout with.

    Have you listened to any of Oliver Wyman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I've listened to the whole series and true to form the author produced another good one. Yes it's pretty thick with unbelievability but it suits this book s well. It was loads of fun and and full of action

    What did you love best about Monster Hunter Legion?

    I really enjoyed this series (and so did my husband). We would plug in my IPhone and listen to it together out on our boat. Was fun & narrated VERY WELL. In fact, don't think the series would have been what it was without him. He didn't do anything 'fancy.' Didn't even change his tone when switching characters but it WORKED.
    Definately recommend it!


    What did you like best about this story?

    Light-hearted and fun


    What does Oliver Wyman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Deadpan sense of humor maybe? Hard to pin but he DID make the story!


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes


    Any additional comments?

    Listen to them all

    "Another Fun Listen!"

    I have enjoyed all of the MHI (Monster Hunter's International) books on audible. Wyman is solid in narration, it's like listening to old friends when he voices the characters. Of course these are completely far fetched and all out monster fun fest but somehow Correia and Wyman make it so matter of fact in this story world. I think you could fully enjoy this book even if you haven't read/heard the others in the series. I think all of the MHI books could stand alone, although it has been fun listening in order and keeping up with their adventures. I hope for many more in this series.

    "Weapon heavon."
    What did you love best about Monster Hunter Legion?

    Love the sense of humor and down to earth narration of "Z".


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Monster Hunter Legion?

    The entrance of "Mangement" was perfect. Hoping that this character survived to make another appearance!!


    What does Oliver Wyman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    I like the fact that this narrator has stayed with the series. It is so difficult to switch narrators sometimes. When you hear the familiar voice it's like your friend has returned.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Monster mayhem and high tech ordinance!

    "Better and better!"

    I'm not a gun nut or SCTV's 'Blew up real good!" type of red neck but I'm always drawn back to this storyline.
    My brother put me on to these and the first one was just okay. But as each book comes out, it gets better!
    I'm glad that I stuck it out and to see other characters develop and take the spot light as in real life!
    The performance was terrific. I 'see' each character in my minds eye and and know who is saying what.
    I'm not going to run out to buy a gun but will get the next story.

    "Correia does it again!"

    This installment of the monster hunter series doesn't disappoint, with action, tension, high stakes, cool monsters, a twisty plot, and even some romance thrown in between bursts of automatic gunfire. The international monster hunting scene is explored in this book, character back stories are brought out and examined, and new and exciting ways to die are illustrated. There's loads of suspense and conflict, and the prose smoothly flows keeping you in the story and constantly hooked. Correia won't win awards for poetry, but for fast paced action that grabs you and won't let you go, he's a master.
    Gun nuts will love this book too, as he spends time accurately depicting gun use and new gun models and attachments. I loved this series, and this book was a fine example of it.
