Monster Hunter Memoirs: Grunge

De: John Ringo, Larry Correia

Narrado por: Oliver Wyman

Two multiple New York Times best-selling authors team up to expand Larry Correia's Monster Hunter universe!

When marine private Oliver Chadwick Gardenier is killed in the marine barrack bombing in Beirut, somebody who might be Saint Peter gives him a choice: Go to heaven, which, while nice, might be a little boring, or return to earth. The Boss has a mission for him, and he's to look for a sign. He's a marine: He'll choose the mission.

Unfortunately, the sign he's to look for is "57". Which, given the food services contract in Bethesda Hospital, creates some difficulty. Eventually it appears that God's will is for Chad to join a group called Monster Hunters International and protect people from things that go bump in the night. From there, things trend downhill.

Monster Hunter Memoirs is the (mostly) true story of the life and times of one of MHI's most effective - and flamboyant - hunters. Protips for up-and-coming hunters range from how to dress appropriately for jogging (low-profile body armor and multiple weapons) to how to develop contacts among the Japanese yakuza to why it's not a good idea to make billy goat jokes to trolls.

Grunge harkens back to the Golden Days of Monster Hunting, when Reagan was in office, Ray and Susan Shackleford were top hunters, and Seattle sushi was authentic.

A Big Fat YEAH!!!

Once again I am enthralled by MHI and the story it tells. Could hardly wait for it to be released and it didn't disappoint. Oliver Wyman brings the characters to life. Pure entertainment!

It's monster hunter. Is there ever enough?

I do wish it had been the primary story line but it was still very enjoyable.

A solid addition to the Monster Hunter Series

Any additional comments?

Nicely written. Ringo clearly "gets" the Monster Hunters International universe. It is smart and as someone who lived through the 70's and 80's I appreciated the nods to my past.

Good Old MHI

Correia and Wyman do it again, with some additional help from Ringo! This is the same level of entertainment as any of his previous books. If you are a fan of his, you will enjoy this just as much as the rest, do yourself a favor and give it a listen.

Love

I love this series and am now going to listen to them all over again. This is a great book with an awesome narrator. Love it
