I just finished reading Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia. The book is about a regular guy who gets attacked by his boss who turns out to be a werewolf. The main character, Owen Pitt is then invited to join Monster Hunter International a private monster hunting company. It turns out that Owen is really good at killing stuff. It also becomes apparent that Owen is not a “regular” guy. His father drilled him in the use of multiple firearms and Owen is a meat mountain. Oh, he also has some special connection to an ancient artifact and a creepy monster called The Cursed One. The Cursed One wants to end the world and allow the bad interdimensional beings called the Old Ones to come to Earth. That would be bad for humans. Owen and his monster hunter buddies need to save the world!
This book was a fun read. It is ridiculous at times and even nonsensical at others, but fun all the same. If you’re looking for a book to read on a long flight or on those long summer days, this is it. I had to skip a few paragraphs here and there due to excessive details about specific firearms and their special features, but that didn’t detract from the book. The author is obviously a gun nut. The action is non stop. Think of it as a Michael Bay film with a story. I enjoyed it and I’m now reading the second book in the series.
