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.

This was fantastic!

You have got to read it. AND I am pretty sure the end set us up for a sequel.
Creativity I enjoyed, would get to a destination in my car and sit to listen just a little while longer.
The hero Pitt, he is wonderful and gets the , well, don't want to spoil it.
A few clever twists in the story you will enjoy.

Must Love Guns

While the story and characters are interesting and engaging, the book was ruined for me by the tedious descriptions of exactly which gun/missile they were going to use to blow up each monster. I'm sure there are people out there who cant get enough of this but I found it disturbing and boring. I absolutely love the Hard Magic series (which also has its fair share of gun talk but doesnt take it to the same extreme). This is not Hard Magic and I wont be continuing on.
