TWO MULTIPLE NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHORS TEAM UP TO EXPAND
LARRY CORREIA'S MONSTER HUNTER UNIVERSE!
When Marine Private Oliver Chadwick Gardenier is killed in the Marine
barrack bombing in Beirut, somebody who might be Saint Peter gives him a
choice: Go to Heaven, which while nice might be a little boring, or
return to Earth. The Boss has a mission for him and he's to look for a
sign. He's a Marine: He'll choose the mission.
Unfortunately, the sign he's to look for is "57." Which, given the food
services contract in Bethesda Hospital, creates some difficulty.
Eventually, it appears that God's will is for Chad to join a group
called "Monster Hunters International" and protect people from things
that go bump in the night. From there, things trend downhill.
Monster Hunter Memoirs is the (mostly) true story of the life and times
of one of MHI's most effective--and flamboyant--hunters. Pro-tips for up
and coming hunters range from how to dress appropriately for jogging
(low-profile body armor and multiple weapons) to how to develop contacts
among the Japanese yakuza, to why it's not a good idea to make billy
goat jokes to trolls.
Grunge harkens back to the Golden Days of Monster Hunting when Reagan
was in office, Ray and Susan Shackleford were top hunters, and Seattle
sushi was authentic.
About Larry Correia and the Monster Hunter International series:
"[E]verything I like in fantasy: intense action scenes, evil in
horrifying array, good struggling against the darkness, and most of all
people--gorgeously flawed human beings faced with horrible moral choices
that force them to question and change and grow."--Jim Butcher
"[A] no-holds-barred all-out page turner that is part science fiction,
part horror, and an absolute blast to read."--Bookreporter.com

guns, you'll love this book. If you love fantasy, and especially horror
fantasy, you'll love this book."--Knotclan.com

science fiction--will enjoy [these books]. . . The plotting is
excellent, and Correia makes you care about the characters...I read both

waitin' for? Go and buy some . . . for yourself and for stocking
stuffers."--Massad Ayoob

International will delight fans of action horror with elaborate

Ringo:

been afraid of zombies, you may change your mind after reading Under a
Graveyard Sky. . .Events build slowly in the book at the outset, but

motion: inexorable and horrible. And the zombie apocalypse in these
pages is so fascinating that you can't stop flipping pages to see what
happens next."--Bookhound
