#Monster hunter international audiobook series
One of my favorite things about this series is that Correia manages to mix classic monsters, with strange exotic ones, yet spins them in a way that makes them all seem new and frightening. Think about what may keep those men and women up at night. Then imagine it comes upon a group that hunts monsters for a living. Imagine a creature that can tap into your nightmares, and manifest them. As they begin to pool information, there is a strange attack, a dark force that can tap into people’s very nightmares is unleashed, and it’s up to the Monster Hunters to stop it. Yet, as all the groups come together and share info, they begin to realize that something strange is happening all around the world. In this latest entry, Owen Zastava Pitt and his fellow members of Monster Hunter’s International are ready to blow off steam in Las Vegas as they attend the first annual convention of Monster Hunting groups at the Last Dragon Casino. what is this book Monster Hunters Legion about?" All you need to say is "Well… Monster Hunting." Pure genius. I mean, really, if anyone comes up to you with and asks you, "ummm…. And what does he call this book series, Monster Hunters.
He comes up with this idea for a great character, gives him a mysterious background, puts a complex mythology in place, but tops it all off with the awesomesauce of having him part of a highly specialized business that handles the hunting of Monsters. Sometimes I wonder if Correia is a misunderstood marketing genius. It is a gun shooting, explody, monster killing, testosterone filled slaughter fest with twisted mythologies, kick ass heroes and heroines, and an awkward but likable main character.
Monster Hunter Legion, the latest novel in Larry Correia’s Monster Hunter series, is simply that, a pleasure. So, from now on, when I read books about zombies and ghouls, murder and mayhem, I am going to simply call them pleasures. One book, versus the close to two hundred I read in a year and he gets to influence me as an arbiter of cool. Then, I realized the only book I could remember him admitting to reading was the autobiography of former Phillies catcher Chris Coste. He’s always been the aloof type that for some reason made me think his aloofness meant he was more an arbitrary of cool than I was. He used to ask, since I read so much, why don’t I focus on things of value, like nonfiction. Do you really want to impress a pretentious jackhole? I had someone like that in my life. If there is someone in your life who will actually judge you based on what you read, well, that person is a pretentious jackhole. Placing the term "guilty" in front of the word "pleasure" is just a useless value judgment. The weird thing is that the term itself is so pointless. When it comes to reading, really, why should one feel guilty? If reading John Ringo gives you just as much pleasure as reading Kerouac, then shout it from the heavens. Well, I have decided that I hate the term. I have seen this tag put on authors from Grisham to Danielle Steele. I will hear someone talk about one of my favorite space operas or military science fiction tales and they will say it is one of their guilty pleasures. I have been thing a lot about the term "guilty pleasure." As a reader who reads mostly what is called "genre" fiction, I have often heard this term applied to books that I enjoy.
So, if you like Monsters, killing monsters, guns, explosions, and smart assed dudes with smart wives, well, I’m pretty sure you’ll like Monster Hunter Legion, because, well, I did. Its nonstop actiony goodness at its most pleasurable.
Correia brings all our favorite characters together, throws in a few new ones, and puts them up against one kickass Monster that really is all monsters. Quick Thoughts: I had a hell of a lot of fun with Monster Hunter Legion. Monster Hunter Legion by Larry Correia (Monster Hunters, Bk.
