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.

Pleasantly Surprised

I really didn't think I would like this story being just about Harbinger, being that I just read the first two books with Owen being the center of the books. It took me about 1 hour in and I was hooked. I polished it off in about 5 days. Not only was it bloody and fantastic but there were parts that made me laugh out loud.

Don't be turned off about the story not centered around Owen, you will love it. I don't want to give anything away but... You will never looked at a wood chipper in the same way again!

Guns, werewolves, explosions, snowblower!

Great continuation of a great series. This focus of the book is Earl Harbinger rather than MHI and its other associated characters. I really enjoy Larry Correia's first person POV writing style. It gets you very deep into each of the characters.

Already on to the next one

Would you listen to Monster Hunter Alpha again? Why?

The end

Any additional comments?

Can't wait to get through the next and last one that's on audible hopefully there are more and this series continues to be 4-5,stars.

So exciting

I think this is one of the more exciting novels to date and I really like this series. Hearing this from Earls POV was fantastic and for him to find someone to have in his life again was phenomenal. Love this series.

Fun Story from Earl’s View

I enjoyed the story a lot as a different point of view with Earl as the main character. Lots of werewolves and intrigue.

One of the best of the series

Getting to know the other hunters are the best books in the series. Great story to understand the makings of Raymond Earl Shackleford the 2nd, son of Bubba the greatest monster hunter ever. Listened to it MANY times and it’s worth the buy.

Fantastic story through and through.

Great narration and great story. An amazing take on the werewolf curse. My favorite in the series.

Best so far

This was a much stronger and interesting story in this series by a wide margin. Many interesting characters and subplots that interwined coherently and didn't bog down the pace. After hearing 4 books in this series, I've begun mocking the narrators macho inflection which is getting a little bit grating at this point.

great

I love this series. my second time listening to it. just as good second time around.

Larry Correia again rocks the Monsters!

Can’t get enough of solo LC and MHI. Another very creative, fun, flammable and fantastic thriller. Harbinger and Heather, a new team of lol lycanthropes. Lots of twists snd seeming insurmountable hurdles. All to the good though... as the best fantasy literature always is.
