Full Description
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. This is 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 Vendetta
