Hard-hitting Stories from the Creator of Monster Hunter
International. The second volume of short stories from nationally
best-selling author Larry Correia.
MONSTERS--AND THE CHAMPIONS WHO SLAY THEM!
More stories from the creator of Monster Hunter International, The
Grimnoir Chronicles, and the Saga of the Forgotten Warrior. The second
volume collecting all of best-selling author Larry Correia's short
stories, novelettes, and novellas. Correia's novels are known for their
hard-hitting, no-holds-barred action sequences, in-depth worldbuilding,
and vivid characterization. Now, Correia turns to the short form to
deliver stories that take no prisoner.
"Tokyo Raider" pits giant robots against very big monsters in the
Grimnoir Universe. "The Testimony of the Traitor Ratul," set in the Saga
of the Forgotten Warrior series, lets a man who has been called a
fanatical rebel, despicable murderer, and heretical traitor tell his
side of the story. And "Reckoning Day" gives an insider view into the
day-to-day life of some of the most popular characters from the Monster
Hunter International series.
Plus, stories set in the world of both Aliens and Predator; an Agent
Franks /Joe Ledger mash- up cowritten by best-selling author Jonathan
Maberry; a V-Wars story; a story set in Michael Z. Williamson's Freehold
series--and more.
Finally, Tom Stranger, Interdimensional Insurance Agent, is back in "A
Murder of Manatees," appearing in print for the first time!
So strap in for a collection of stories as only the Monster Hunter
himself could tell them.
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 on Son
of the Black Sword
"[A] no-holds-barred all-out page turner that is part science fiction,
part horror, and an absolute blast to read."--Bookreporter.com
"If you love monsters and action, you'll love this book. If you love
guns, you'll love this book. If you love fantasy, and especially horror
fantasy, you'll love this book."--Knotclan.com
"A gun person who likes science fiction--or, heck, anyone who likes
science fiction--will enjoy [these books] . . . The plotting is
excellent, and Correia makes you care about the characters . . . I read
both books without putting them down except for work . . . so whaddaya
waitin' for? Go and buy some . . . for yourself and for stocking
stuffers."--Massad Ayoob
"This lighthearted, testosterone-soaked sequel to 2009's Monster Hunter
International will delight fans of action horror with elaborate
weaponry, hand-to-hand combat, disgusting monsters, and an endless
stream of blood and body parts."--Publishers Weekly on Monster Hunter
