Welcome to Monster Hunter International.
Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a fourteenth story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer.
It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows. Officially secret, some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. On the other side are the people who kill monsters for a living. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit.
It's actually a pretty sweet gig, except for one little problem. An ancient entity known as the Cursed One has returned to settle a centuries old vendetta. Should the Cursed One succeed, it means the end of the world, and MHI is the only thing standing in his way. With the clock ticking towards Armageddon, Owen finds himself trapped between legions of undead minions, belligerent federal agents, a cryptic ghost who has taken up residence inside his head, and the cursed family of the woman he loves.
Business is good . . .
About the Author

He lists his occupations: gun dealer, firearms instructor, accountant, and writer, and is part owner of FBMG (Fuzzy Bunny Movie Guns) a company specializing in firearms and movie props. He shoots competitively and is a certified concealed weapons instructor. Larry resides in Utah with his very patient wife and family. He has also designed a special patch for the agents of Monster Hunter International, Inc. As he puts it, "If you don't look good while you're killing stuff, then you're not really a monster hunter."

Product ReviewMuch better than I thought it might be from the set up, but after reading it, I think it was as good as other Correia books (Hard Magic series).
It never ceases to amaze me how people react to a story about using guns. How could you NOT develop close relationships to guns if you depend on them for your life, day in and day out, going up against werewolves and vampires? 'Gun porn'? Some people need to get over themselves. In this context, it really is more of a technology fetish.
And what's wrong exactly with dissing Feds? Read the new book on Fast and Furious. Reality, being stranger and more disgusting than fiction, is making this Correia book look like a love note to the Feds. (And there's not really a super anti-Fed rant in the book, anyway. There are just a few uber lefties that are offended if you don't outright worship the government. Sick bastards.)Posted on

Product ReviewAbsolutely GREAT READ!!! Engrossing, fast paced, can't say enough good about it. Finally, we have an author with a decent background in weapons and their proper use. No ray guns, just reality. Sissy, liberal progressives will not like this book. Undoubtedly they will use words such as "gun porn," "neo-nazi," "no redeeming social value," etc. to describe their reaction. Too bad. Yes, Matilda - people really do use weapons in the manner described; and, for serious social purposes. So, if you're NOT a wimp, you will really enjoy this book and its sequel. After all, any book which starts out with its protagonist throwing his awful, bullying, credit-stealing boss out of a fourteen story window, almost has to be a GREAT READ!!
