Editorial reviews

Why we think it's Essential - Quick, who directed The Evil Dead? What action hero starred in The Blob? Which movie studio became synonymous with horror for producing Frankenstein and The Wolf Man? If you can answer these questions correctly, you'll likely be thrilled with Monster Hunter International. B-movie aficionados know there's a fine line between gleefully gory camp and flat-out dross. Not to worry, Monster Hunter International knows the line. Oliver Wyman brings just the right amount of bombastic, smirking swagger to this story of big guns, big action, and a heck of a lot of monsters. —Michael

Publisher's summary

Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a 14th story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer.

It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows. Officially secret, some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. On the other side are the people who kill monsters for a living. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit.

It's actually a pretty sweet gig, except for one little problem. An ancient entity known as the Cursed One has returned to settle a centuries-old vendetta. Should the Cursed One succeed, it means the end of the world, and MHI is the only thing standing in his way.

With the clock ticking towards Armageddon, Owen finds himself trapped between legions of undead minions, belligerent federal agents, a cryptic ghost who has taken up residence inside his head, and the cursed family of the woman he loves. Business is good.... Welcome to Monster Hunter International.

Excellent

Monster Hunter International grabs you from the first chapter and carries you through the end in a non-stop action thriller/urban fantasy. It's wonderful - dark, gritty, sarcastic - Larry Correia (in this series) is exceptional.

Great Series!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a very inventive series, written with the same kind of humor as Lawrence Block, just applied to a new reality of the monsters that live around us that we don't recognize. The narrator is a painfully slow reader, but increasing the read rate to 1.5 takes care of that, and makes the characters really POP! I will listen to every book in this series. I cannot wait for book number 4!

Great story, great characters, evil bad guys, what more could you want?

He did a good job on a variety of characters, both male and female, and different ethnic groups.

Great Monster Fiction

What made the experience of listening to Monster Hunter International the most enjoyable?

I bought this book on sale but had put off listening to this book for a year, as it sounded too much like many of the other books in this genre. Now I wish I hadn't waited so long, as it's a great book. One of the enjoyable aspects of it is the unpredictability of the story.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters were believable and the plot was complex enough to maintain interest throughout the book.

What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?

The narration was superb, as usual.

Any additional comments?

I can tell how much I really like a book by how interested I am in getting the next in the series, and I'm looking forward listening to the next one.
