The problem is one guy with a sword and a sub-gun isn't going to solve this one.

Now an evil death cult known as the Church of the Temporary Mortal Condition wants to capture Owen in order to gain the favor of the great Old Ones. Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a 14th 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. Some of them are evil, and some are just hungry.
Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit. Jake Sullivan is a licensed private eye with a seriously hardboiled attitude. He also possesses raw magical talent and the ability to make objects in his vicinity light as a feather or as heavy as depleted uranium, all with a magical thought.
It's no wonder the G-men turn to Jake when they need someoneto go after a suspected killer who has been knocking off banks in a magic-enhanced crime spree. Only a handful of people in the world know that mankind's magic comes from a living creature, and it is a refugee from another universe.

I like these authors but I felt some of these stories were only about 3 stars and some 4 stars.
Most 3 stars! I liked them just not what I am used to with Monster Files. The narration varied also with each story. Jan 31, Eric rated it liked it Shelves: fantasy , urban-fantasy , larry-correia. Overall I would say that, like most anthologies, it was a mixed bag.
Some were excellent, some were fine, and there was only one that I distinctly disliked. Below is a quick summary of each entry.
Can't beat a story wabout a turf war between elves and gnomes. The tone felt melodramatic, it felt like there was all kinds of backstory that I needed and was missing, and the events themselves were hard to follow. This was one a miss for me. Nothing terribly wrong here, but overall just a but meh. Jody Lynn Nye "Mr. Natural" — Decent story, nothing particularly memorable. Nov 19, Yodamom rated it it was amazing Shelves: audio , urban-fantasy , favorite-author , won-it , anthology.
Fabulous audiobook, filled with excellent short stories perfect for travel, walking, sitting or just ignoring the people around you. The narration was very well done. I think this is the first anthology where I enjoyed all the stories and authors. Two of my favorite authors were included in this monster hunter collection of short stories, Jim Butcher, and Faith Hunter.
Both write fabulous characters and truly wicked monsters, so I was thrilled when I won a copy of this. Yes, both knocked it out o Fabulous audiobook, filled with excellent short stories perfect for travel, walking, sitting or just ignoring the people around you.
Yes, both knocked it out of the park with their tales. Really I had no doubts they wouldn't. What surprised me was how much I enjoyed each of the other authors previously unknown to me. I think the last story was my favorite new to me author story, it was about a Golem, I love Golems. I plan on reading each of the other authors from this collection. View 2 comments. Sep 26, Beanbag Love rated it it was amazing.
I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. The Monster Hunter International series is one of my absolute favorites. At this point, I'd say that Larry Correia is at the top of my must-buy list.
Numero Uno. I just love all his universes, but this one was my first so it's very dear to my heart. Not long ago, rabidly successful author, John Ringo, read MHI and went nuts writing what was basically a professional fan fic.
It ended up being three installments I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. It ended up being three installments and published by Baen in collaboration with Correia. Now the first book of the trilogy has won a Dragon Award as well. Right after that trilogy was announced, this antho was also announced.
I have been waiting for this thing with bated breath since I heard it was going to happen. Then, "I hope it doesn't suck! But all of the stories are decently entertaining. Some are about completely original characters and some are told from the POV of favorite regulars. It made me feel confident she'll do a good job with that important installment.
Could this be read without reading the core series? Probably not. There are just too many characters and references that won't make sense. But people who like action, fantasy, suspense, and fun, should be reading MHI anyway. And, as with most anthologies, I doubt anyone will be lost in the main series if they don't read this.
Although I do believe there will be some crossover, it's just that anthologies -- especially by guest writers in that universe -- don't tend to become an integral part of an actual series.
There really was only one story I didn't like and that's the loss of half a star. But that's a pretty great batting average for an anthology so that's why I rounded up. Mar 06, Adam Duclos rated it it was ok.
This was a tough read.
