Publisher's summary

Monster Hunter International might be the premier monster eradication company in the business, but they’ve got competition.

When hunters from around the world gather in Las Vegas for a conference, a creature left over from a World War Two weapons experiment wakes up and goes on a rampage across the desert. A not-so-friendly wager between the rival companies turns into a race to see who can bag the mysterious creature first. Only there is far more to this particular case than meets the eye, and as Hunters fall prey to their worst nightmares, Owen Zastava Pitt and the staff of Monster Hunter International have to stop an ancient god from turning Sin City into a literal hell on earth.

Critic reviews

"Oliver Wyman narrates the entire tale with a swagger in his voice. Even the chapter headings sound aggressive. His characters are so unique that at times listeners may think there's a second narrator." ( AudioFile)

Engaging

Another winner in the Monster Hunters International series. I would highly recommend. Great story and awesome narration.

Weakest but not weak

This is by far the weakest book of the series. It starts slow - real slow - so by the time it gets to the good parts, which is about 1/4 if not 1/3 into the plot, some of the readers may give up and wander away.

However, it's still Correia, and it's still MHI, and there is still good action/humor/weapon rants/monster bashing, so do persevere!

Best in the series thus far.

I'm not sure exactly what it was, but this is by far my favourite in the series.

Best MH book yet, looking forward to MH Nemesis.

This book had me in stitches, totally hilarious. Great plot, and the performance was phenomenal.

Exceptional

With beautifully presented ideas and characters, Larry Correia brings us a view of the world as it could be, in a fascinating and believable way. Monster Hunter Legion upholds the series' exemplary record of performance and storyline.

Great book

Well written good story. Nicely performed. Good voices. I really liked the story and will try to get the next one

Rough Opening But Quickly Improves

Excellent addition to the MHI series.

The beginning was pretty rough, as the heroes attend a monster-hunting conference and MHI meets its competitors. One of the biggest annoyances I have with the series is the running sentiment that anyone that's not with MHI (either government or other companies) is either evil or painfully incompetent. That sentiment got cranked up to 11 as MHI butts heads with a rival company right out the gate. The over-macho chest-pounding really turned me off, but quickly that mood changed and the hero confessed it was his own personal bias (not really, since the rival characters have always been evil or incompetent) and Owen begins to warm up to many of the other hunters and most of their rivalries turn more toward friendly.

Convention setting aside, the plot quickly picks up as the heroes are thrust into a dangerous situation that requires the combined skills and experience of all the best hunters in the world. The action is wonderful. The characters continue to grow, and there are more than enough 1-liners for comedic moments. I plowed through the second half of the book at full-speed.

I give the first quarter of it a low 3-stars and the remaining 75% a high 4-stars. Averages out to a solid 4.

as always....the best gets better.

Larry's books are always great. Monster Hunter Books are truly worth every second to read.
