Another great installment to the MHI world. This one definitely revolves around Owen ... and his Chosen status. Most of his core team are in this, but it all boils down to Owen for most of the story.
I loved that they're taking to war to the baddie in this one. It was a lot of fun to see an op develop.
There's a LOT going on for Owen in this book. He has to sacrifice so much to get the job done.
CLIFFHANGER at the end though. OMG ... definitely set it up for one heck of a book next!

GO BIG OR GO HOME.
Well Larry Correia went definitively big in this one. Another book from MHI series and another move further in the main story. What I really love about the MHI series is a fact that each book move story further and there are no blank fill ups. Each new entry in the series introduce something new and change the game in rapid way. This time it is just...... you know the end of the word. But that's not obstacle for Owen Zastava Pitt. This book is mostly about him and he really shines. So for story itself I recommend it. Performance is top-quality too, as usual for Audible, so that's one extra star from me.

It feels like a long time since I got to sink my teeth into a Monster Hunter Internal story. Well at least one that takes place in the main story arc that is.
I did indeed have rather high expectations on this one and Mr. Correia certainly delivered.
The book continues the story from book five. Hell, at least as far as I remember. The last book was published three years ago and I have to confess that some of the details might have faded in my memory.
We get introduced to Owen’s father who, not surprisingly, is just as much badass as his son. He also has a secret. I do not think I can explain it without spoiling too much so I will not try but it’s a big one and it’s pretty a damned important one for the story.
As usual with books from Larry Correia it is a well written book, no bullshit, plenty of action, enjoyable dialogue and lots and lots of hardware that makes loud noises (okay there was a few Katana’s and other cutting instruments as well). Actually in this movie the amount of hardware is overshadowing all the previous books taken together. MHI is going to war! Not only MHI but pretty much the entire monster hunter community…all over the world.
With all this going on the book is a bit different from the previous books. It is on a different scale and although Owen is still the main character, and one crucial for the story, the books is not so much about the MHI team as the other books but rather about good versus evil on a global scale. I have no problem with that.
My one gripe about this book is, where the fuck is Frank? Yes, yes, I know he was briefly present in the beginning but I really miss the little altercations between Frank and the MHI team.
Overall a great book and it was so good to sink my eyes into a Larry Correia book again.
