About this listen

Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a 14th story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer.

It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows. Officially secret, some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. On the other side are the people who kill monsters for a living. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit.

It's actually a pretty sweet gig, except for one little problem. An ancient entity known as the Cursed One has returned to settle a centuries-old vendetta. Should the Cursed One succeed, it means the end of the world, and MHI is the only thing standing in his way.

With the clock ticking towards Armageddon, Owen finds himself trapped between legions of undead minions, belligerent federal agents, a cryptic ghost who has taken up residence inside his head, and the cursed family of the woman he loves. Business is good.... Welcome to Monster Hunter International.

Editorial reviews

Why we think it's Essential - Quick, who directed The Evil Dead? What action hero starred in The Blob? Which movie studio became synonymous with horror for producing Frankenstein and The Wolf Man? If you can answer these questions correctly, you'll likely be thrilled with Monster Hunter International. B-movie aficionados know there's a fine line between gleefully gory camp and flat-out dross. Not to worry, Monster Hunter International knows the line. Oliver Wyman brings just the right amount of bombastic, smirking swagger to this story of big guns, big action, and a heck of a lot of monsters. —Michael

Wondering what this book is like? It is eerily like Jack Reacher, but with monsters. Probably a bit better written than those books, but in the same ball park. Enjoyable story. I will definitely read the next one. Narrator is terrific.

Where does Monster Hunter International rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book, and then series, is my absolute favourite. What a surprise! I didn't expect to like it based on the cover art or blurb but it was on sale at the time so I thought, why not? Boy was I glad I did. This is an AWESOME book and series and I would highly recommend.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Monster Hunter International?

Well I can't really say or I'll give it away. The first chapter will grab you though!! (pun intended)

What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?

Oliver Wyman's performance in this series is beyond stellar. I've actually started buying other books based on his performance but honestly, nothing comes close to how awesome he is in this series. The persistent "Owen said" or "said Holly" are superfluous as you would know who was talking simply by the change in voice. How he can go from robust baritone to breathy falsetto, without sounding ridiculous, is aMAZing! You will not be disappointed!

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

That's not really my job but I'd say: Jam packed with adventure! It'll keep you on the edge of your seat! (Yes I know. Don't give up my day job.)

Any additional comments?

The marriage of an awesome story by Larry Correia and outstanding performance is not to be missed!

Best book and series ever

Was a very good book very well written there’s a lot of the classic monsters and the storyline flows really well it was a bit more for younger highschool audience I feel like but I still enjoyed it

A bit young for me but only slightly

I had serious doubts because of the title. But, This is one of the best books I have listened to. Non stop action combined with good story development, an excellent narator and a host of interesting characters. I'm so glad I have found a new series!

Surprisingly good

The main character is an insufferable self-insert Mary Sue who has a very unhealthy attitude towards women. I bought this with a credit ages ago and tried to listen to it only recently. Within 2 chapters, it was clearly a dud. If you love guns and you hate women and the men they tend to actually like, this is a book for you.

this is juvenile garbage
