Publisher's summary

Dirty Harry meets Twilight. Number 3 in the break-out series and a follow-up to Monster Hunter International and Monster Hunter Vendetta.

Earl Harbinger may be the leader of Monster Hunter International, but he's also got a secret. Nearly a century ago, Earl was cursed to be a werewolf. When Earl receives word that one of his oldest foes, a legendarily vicious werewolf that worked for the KGB, has mysteriously appeared in the remote woods of Michigan, he decides to take care of some unfinished business. But another force is working to bring about the creation of a whole new species of werewolf. When darkness falls, the final hunt begins, and the only thing standing in their way is a handful of locals, a lot of firepower, and Earl Harbinger's stubborn refusal to roll over and play dead.

Enjoyable sci-fi saga

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

When a newly "infected" werewolf gets really excited about the idea of being able to eat all the pie she wants withoutfear of gaining weight.

Any additional comments?

Great character voices overall, but not sure why the Russian werewolf sounds like Chistopher Walken. Picky point, and overall very enjoyable recording.

Earl Harbinger is an insane Badass

Excellent series, read all of them! When you're done with MHI series, read his other books too.

All Harbinger. All werewolves. All good.

At first I was a bit disappointed when I realized book was ALL about Harbinger, werewolves and virtually nothing about MHI. Z and Julie is mentioned in passing a couple of times, but that's it.

But when the story got going I was hooked. A smaller gallery of characters and all of the story taking place in one area, actually made for a tight story. I liked it. A lot! New characters is very interesting.

Narration is great but Wyman sometimes starts sentences with a short sharp intake of breath. Mildly annoying.

All in all a great listen. Will buy the next one in the series.

Good, A Little Different

This book is a little different from the lady two in the series. This one hardly even mentions Owen Pitt, instead focusing on Earl Harbinger.

GREAT SERIES

This is my third book in this series and I absolutely love it. Can't wait to start next one

Quite a good departure from the expected

Good book, though hearing a passable Christopher Walken impression throughout was a bit distracting. Screw your minimum word count.

Fabulous

Love Larry books. This book is no exception. I recommend starting at beginning of series.

Great, and a very good narration as always

Great, and a very good narration as always by Mr

If you could sum up Monster Hunter Alpha in three words, what would they be?

a great story line.

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

have no answer to this one. It stands alone.

Which scene was your favorite?

the point where Nicolas reinfects Earl. Their conversation and finally mutual understanding.

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

yes

Any additional comments?

I have enjoyed the entire series. It is unsual and although a building for armagedon, the story line is very unusual. The characters are real and enjoyable.
