![]() ![]() ![]() Character is king, and Correia makes these characters lovable and admirable. They’re what SyFy Channel B-movies could be if the characters weren’t idiots, the weapons were accurate, and the writer(s) really tried to do a good job. Why do I keep reading these books? Well, they’re good rip-roaring fun. ![]() Owen is invited to come to work for Monster Hunter International, and things go both up and down from there. What ensues is a Men-in-Black-esque briefing about the world of monsters, that they’re real, they’re a big problem, and the government pays private companies good money to hunt them down. Using a combination of firepower and brute strength, Owen kills his boss, but wakes up in a hospital under the watchful care of the MCB (Monster Control Bureau). When he’s working after hours one night, he gets attacked by his boss, who is actually a werewolf. The premise is this: Owen Pitt is an accountant and gun enthusiast (much like Correia) with a flexible mind and a penchant for pounding the crap out of anyone who shoots first. Just be advised if any of you take my recommendations seriously, there’s a fair amount of language and violence in Larry Correia’s flagship urban fantasy series. This is one of the more adult series that I keep up with, so the tone and content of these is pretty different from what I normally plug. ![]()
