The Monster Hunters
This behemoth of a book
(1191 pages) is actually a compilation of the three books: Monster Hunter
International, Monster Hunter Vendetta, and Monster Hunter Alpha by Larry
Correia.The thing that’s most
interesting to me about this book is that while I liked it enough to actually
finish it, I also really hated the author’s politics and worldview -- to the
point that I kept almost stopping.So I
guess this is a case of plot trumping the characters’ stupidity.
The title fairly succinctly sums up what the books are
about.There are monsters in the
world.The government pays a bounty on
them and our heroes are in a company that actively works to collect those
bounties.Diverse other things happen
as well, of course.The books are
action packed and very violent.So if
you like slap up in your face violence and can overlook a bit of libertarianism
& anti-governmentalism give these books a try.
