Editorial reviews

Why we think it's Essential - Quick, who directed The Evil Dead? What action hero starred in The Blob? Which movie studio became synonymous with horror for producing Frankenstein and The Wolf Man? If you can answer these questions correctly, you'll likely be thrilled with Monster Hunter International. B-movie aficionados know there's a fine line between gleefully gory camp and flat-out dross. Not to worry, Monster Hunter International knows the line. Oliver Wyman brings just the right amount of bombastic, smirking swagger to this story of big guns, big action, and a heck of a lot of monsters. —Michael

Publisher's summary

Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a 14th story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer.

It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows. Officially secret, some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. On the other side are the people who kill monsters for a living. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit.

It's actually a pretty sweet gig, except for one little problem. An ancient entity known as the Cursed One has returned to settle a centuries-old vendetta. Should the Cursed One succeed, it means the end of the world, and MHI is the only thing standing in his way.

With the clock ticking towards Armageddon, Owen finds himself trapped between legions of undead minions, belligerent federal agents, a cryptic ghost who has taken up residence inside his head, and the cursed family of the woman he loves. Business is good.... Welcome to Monster Hunter International.

Great book series, Start here and get hooked

Would you consider the audio edition of Monster Hunter International to be better than the print version?

I did not read the print version.

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

I would say this is similar to Scott Sigler's "Hunter Hunterson" series of stories.

What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?

His pacing a tone were solid and steady, relaying just the right amount of emotion where needed for punctuation.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The very first fight of the book set the tone and did some quick character development right up front.

Great narration.

Oliver Wyman, who narrates the story has many different voices for the characters. It’s very distinct and sounds very different from one character to another. This makes the audiobook more interesting and enjoyable compared to other ones I have heard.

What a fun listen!

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

Mayhem filled fun

Who was your favorite character and why?

Earl Harbinger is just this great leadership character that has this devil-may-care attitude that's hard to not like.

Have you listened to any of Oliver Wyman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I had not, but his performance is great in this book

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Buckle up...it's a heck of a ride!!!

What made the experience of listening to Monster Hunter International the most enjoyable?

Listening to "average joe accountant" Owen struggle with the realization that monsters are real and that his true destiny is calling.

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

From the same author Larry Correia, The Dead Six series is a well told "gun heavy" tactical/action series. It lacks the fantastical monsters of the MHI series but has great characters that are fleshed out in a more timely "current events" type setting by yet another great narrator...Bronson Pinchot.

For zombie apocalypse fans, check out Bronson Pinchot narrating the Extinction Cycle series by Nicholas Sansbury Smith.

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

The immersion he brings to the story is simply fantastic. You just can't get that reading a printed edition yourself. Wyman is among the best of the best.

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

Oh yah...Monsters are real!!!!

Guns, Monsters, Magic...I'm in.

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

Guns, Monsters, Magic... in that order. From the first pages, Larry Correia makes it clear that that is exactly what this book is about. It doesn't disappoint.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The book is stuffed full of entertaining characters, but I'd have to say that my choice would be Earl Harbinger. Without disclosing any spoilers, his nature is such that no fight scene that includes him will ever end up...ordinary.

Which scene was your favorite?

The asylum gargoyle car chase sequence. (If a scene like that isn't enough to sell you on the book, I don't know what will.)

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book is sheer entertainment. I listened to this at work (I work in a warehouse) and I couldn't help but laugh at loud on multiple occasions.

Any additional comments?

To any fans of action, I definitely recommend. If you still have doubts, just read the first like of the first chapter. The book opens with possibly the best hook I have ever read.
