Monster Hunter Legion

September 15, 2012

Teams of monster hunters gather in Las Vegas for their first-ever professional conference. When an experimental creature, dormant since World War II, awakens and runs amok through the nearby desert, Owen Pitt and his crew from Monster Hunter International join in the race to subdue or destroy it. As group rivalries threaten to turn deadly, a different monster emerges, killing its prey with their own nightmares. The monster hunters find themselves in a battle for their lives. VERDICT The fourth title (and first hardback) in Correia's popular series (Monster Hunter International; Monster Hunter Vendetta; Monster Hunter Alpha) features fast-paced battle scenes, tongue-in-cheek humor, funny, likeable characters, and an appropriate amount of gore. Readers of urban fantasy and military sf, as well as series fans, will enjoy this adventure.
