In the first two books of the Monster Hunter series, Larry Correia basically wrote gun porn with monsters. There were characters, but they loved their guns and it shone through. In the third book, Monster Hunter Alpha, Correia decided to shake things up a little bit. Moving from Owen Pitt to Earl Harbinger and introducing a ton of new characters (many of whom are killed during the monster melee) was an interesting way to change things and it did work, but only part of the time.So, let’s see what’s up with Earl.

Monster Hunter Vendetta by Larry Correia
After saving the world from the Old One, Owen Pitt is back in Monster Hunter Vendetta and he has more demons mad at him. And this time, it isn’t even his fault. Larry Correia basically writes supernatural gun books with characters who are larger than life (Owen is really huge) and enjoy nothing more than firing large caliber weapons at things that should be dead. If that’s not your type of book, then don’t even bother picking it up. But if that appeals to you, then let’s find out who’s pissed at Owen this time.
Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia
After enjoying Larry Correia’s Hard Magic (my review), I decided to give his Monster Hunter series a chance. Even though I’m not a fan of the recent slate of supernatural books, Correia did a great job with Monster Hunter International, the first book in the series. The one thing that I should mention is that if you don’t like guns or weapons, then this isn’t the book for you. Everyone is packing weapons and loves weapons and occasionally goes into great detail about the weapons they have or are making, repairing, cleaning or shooting. If you thought that REAMDE had a lot of detail about guns, then you’re not going to enjoy this one. So, let’s go hunt some monsters.
