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.

I like it

Enjoy the story. Good escape on drive to and from work. Recommend to everyone to enjoy.

A wild ride!

The action ramps up its scale! Madness and combat, a great time! A much needed continuation of a great saga!

Monster Hunters Assemble

This was one of the more fun installments, mostly due to the addition of competing monster factions. There was still a little bit of silly inner monologuing as Owen reflects on its “his fault” that being The Chosen Mary Sue means so many die fighting with him. I also trudged through Mosh’s pity party, wishing it didn’t drag so much. But, the annoyances were outweighed by the monster mashing good times.

Monsters Monsters Monsters Ah Ah Ahhhhhhh

this series for me as taken on a newer and more adventurous dynamic focusing on other characters and experiences not surrounding the main character Owen but supporting him and creating layers in plot characterization giving more dept to both the good guys and the enemy, that sometimes shows up in situation within and without the monster hunters group. I think there was a lot more magic involved in this books than the others combine; but not to the degree that you lost the Ex SEAL gunman walking around with doomsday arsenals, the physical rough a tousle of men being men.

Can't wait to start the next one.

love the story and Wyman is a true voice artist. no voice the same. the Black character sounds like a Black man. enough said.

extremely entertaining

Where does Monster Hunter Legion rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Not only was story well written but narration added an extra dimension I'm sure would have been lacking in the purely written format

Great as usual A "I couldn't' sit it down" novel!

Awesome! I loved the last one in the series because Earl a bada$$ but there's just something about Z aka Owen that makes me smile. Dude is big, loud, sarcastic, ugly, strong, loyal, resilient, flawed, incredibly funny, modest.............my kind of hero! He is by far out of ALL the books I've read/listened to my favorite "hero". As usual Correia does an excellent job with the characters. Everyone is complex and it is easy to cheer on the good guys and hate the bad guys. He weaves fantasy and reality together so well that you can almost believe what you're reading!

The plot in this installment is wonderful. I like it when the whole gang is together and missed that in the last book. It is "intricate" without being overly complex. Narrator as usual is awesome. Each voice is distinct and the minute he starts reading in a voice you know who that character is. You cannot go wrong with this one. If you strayed from the series because of the last book taking a hard left turn and only focusing on Earl, this one will redeem the Monster Hunter series. If you haven't read any of them stop right now, click on the series link and download them all. You will NOT regret. This is in my top three series. LOVE it! (since book 5 isn't out yet I'm now reading Correia's Grimnoir Chronicles - love this one too).

So Glad There's More of MHI!

Any additional comments?

The series is just so much fun. The characters are great, have layers & are well fleshed out. Strong solid female characters. Great world building. Almost believable. Running out of new ways to describe how much fun the series is! Out of 1, 2 & 4, #2 probably my favorite & if you were only going to read 1 that's the one I'd read. It's also the one I started with & had no trouble following it. I read 2, then 4, then 1. Next I'll read #3. Overall the series is humorous, crazy, gun-manic, violent & just an all around good time story. It's a blast. I'm female (& over 50) & after reading all the reviews thought it might be a bit gory but I loved it & thought the 'gun porn' was hilarious. It's down to earth while being out there. Too tired to write more, read the other reviews, they're probably better! Bottom line - this is a great series! Thanks Larry Correia & can't wait for #5!

Great Series!

Would you listen to Monster Hunter Legion again? Why?

It's great writing, great storytelling by the Author. Larry Correia is one of my new favorites. Oliver Wyman does a great job of narration as well. I can't wait for the next booK!

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

this book is most like - The first two books in this series. It's fun like the Dresden Files series - kinda cocky, with lots of supernatural fun.

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

He's just one of those voice actors who make you forget that you're listening to an actor. I am experience the story - nothing stands out as - whoa - that was a noticeable bad choice. All of his characters are distinct, and the female voices never make me think "oh this is a man trying to talk like a woman". Everything rolls smoothly and we can really enjoy the story.

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