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.

Best book of the series

Would you listen to Monster Hunter Alpha again? Why?

I might listen to this book again because of its fun action and pacing

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

When Harbinger and the older Fin grind up zombie werewolves with a huge snowblower and the final show down, of course.

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

I really enjoyed the Christopher Walken like voice for Harbinger's nemesis: Nicoli.

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

How about: Werewolf Zombies, bitches

Any additional comments?

This book lacks a lot of the irritating bickering that occurs between characters in Larry's other books in this series. The abundant bickering in his other books is sometimes so mind crushingly painful to listen/read through that I have to stop listening and take a break. Why, when life and death is at stake, would anyone engage in constant pissing contests? THANKFULLY, that is absent in Alpha.

Just as good as the 1st two!

Loved it! Well worth the credit. I was a little aprehensive at before as it did not focus on Pitt, but Harbinger is more than capable of carrying the story. Looking forward to reading / listening to more!

Narrator choice of character?

Loved this chapter of MHI series but was strange choice for the narrator to give Nikoli the voice of Christopher Walken. It took me out of the story every time he voiced that character.

Another Home run with "Alpha"

As always, Larry Correia delivers a solid story. Installment #3 reveals to us a much more detailed look at Earl Harbinger. Oliver Wyman does an excellent job at narrating the story. I had but one character stumbling block (and I use that term lightly because I quickly got used to it). The voice of Nikolai sounds to me A LOT like the cadence of Christopher Walken. I like the actor, but I found it an odd choice considering the character is Russian.

Great story as usual.

An amazing story as can be expected from Larry Correia. I especially loved Oliver Wyman's performance. i couldn't help but hear Christopher Walken when he performed Nikolai. Great stuff.

It's as if the author was taking a breather

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

This was a novel on a particular character from the monster hunter series. He probably went on holidays with the author. It was much more somber than the others in the series however still very good

The fun keeps on going!!!

So far I've loved the Monster Hunter International books, and this one is one of my favorites. I liked that we got to know more about Earl and his past. Owen is a good character and all but Earl has to be my favorite "human" character (spoiler, hes actually a werewolf.) I also love the fact that Oliver Wyman used a Christopher Walken impersonation for Nikolai's character, it made me laugh.
AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY

Mr Correia never dissapointing

One of my all-time favorite series with excellent narration and a great story that's all you need to know. You will never consider this a wasted credit.

This One I Really Like

Do like all of the MHI books, but I really like this one. The back history on Earl is great. The development of the story is riveting as well as extremely interesting.
