Story
When Monster Hunter International's top hunter, Owen Zastava Pitt, was given a tip about some hunters who had gone missing in action, he didn't realize their rescue mission would snowball into the single biggest operation in MHI's history. Their men are being held prisoner in a horrific nightmare dimension, and the only way to reach them is through the radioactive ruins of a monster-infested war zone. As if that wasn't bad enough, it's also the home base of the powerful creature behind the devastating attacks on the Last Dragon and Copper Lake.

Ashok Vadal was once a member of the highest caste in all of Lok. As a Protector, he devoted his life to upholding the Law, rooting out those who still practiced the old ways and delivering justice with his ancestor blade Angruvadal. None was more merciless than he in stamping out the lingering belief in gods and demons among the casteless. His brutality was legendary and celebrated. But soon Ashok learned that his life to that point had been a lie. He himself, senior member of the Protector Order, was casteless. He had been nothing more than an unwitting pawn in a political game.

Publisher's Summary
Agent Franks of the U.S. Monster Control Bureau is a man of many parts - parts from other people, that is. Franks is nearly seven feet tall and all muscle. He's nearly indestructible. Plus he’s animated by a powerful alchemical substance and inhabited by a super-intelligent spirit more ancient than humanity itself. Good thing he’s on our side. More or less.
Sworn to serve and protect the United States of America from all monsters by one of the country’s founding fathers, Franks has only one condition to the agreement: No matter what the government learns of him, no matter what is discovered concerning his odd physiology or the alchemy behind the elixir that made him, the government is never, ever allowed to try and make more like him. Such is absolutely forbidden and should the powers-that-be do so, then the agreement is null and void.
Project Nemesis: in a secret location, using sophisticated technology and advanced genetic engineering, the director of the very agency Franks works for is making more like him. And the director is not content with making one. Nope, he’s making 13. Now all bets are off, and Hell hath no fury like a monster betrayed. Particularly if that monster happens to be an undying killing machine capable of taking out vampires and werewolves with one hand tied behind his back.

A++ Action
Would you consider the audio edition of Monster Hunter Nemesis to be better than the print version?
Have not read the book.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Stricken - He was the evil guy that got away and always had a plan B or C or D.
Which character – as performed by Oliver Wyman – was your favourite?
Franks, the main character.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Laugh mainly, lots of tongue in cheek stuff.
Any additional comments?
Although a great stretch of theology, he has a winner. This book is driven by Franks the main character and goes in to his true identity and gets in to his head.

Another Winner
If you've been following the MHI story since book 1 you either already have this or are considering getting it. In a nutshell: You want this.
This story, as mentioned in other reviews, is told from the perspective of Agent Franks. Who has been a huge (no pun intended) enigma since the beginning. But here, you find out what he is, why he is, and ultimately who he is.
Its logical to make a comparison to Monster Hunter Alpha as it is focused on an individual perspective other than Owen Pitt. However it is also a very different type of story because of the nature of the "beast". And you get the usual gun/weapons "porn" that Correia does so well, and weaves into his worlds.
I won't give away the plot, but you will be re acquainted with familiar faces, and there are some welcome cameo's from MHI personnel. Be prepared for some very shocking twists that clearly set up future volumes.
I really enjoy this series. I highly recommend it. And I can't imagine why this isn't a series on HBO or a series of movies.

Completely, absolutely fantastic!
Where does Monster Hunter Nemesis rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Up near the top.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Monster Hunter Nemesis?
The fight between Franks and Earl was EXCELLENT! Plus, I was cringing because they were totally wrecking Julie's house.
Which scene was your favorite?
Lord... tough call. I loved it when Franks saw the MHI tattoo on his replacement arm - that was really funny. Also, when Franks was thinking that they would have charged him with child abuse.... that was shout-out-loud funny. The fight with Heather on the train was really good too. Werewolves rule!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely.
Any additional comments?
This book was perfect - action-filled, fast paced and really really funny. But waaay too short. I wanted more. I liked that Franks got his butt kicked. It made him even more the hero that he could suck it up and still win the fight. And boy, does he love a fight.

Masterfully written; masterfully told.
Any additional comments?
Another fantastic story of the fantastic by one of the best 21st century writers. The story is great and only made greater by the again perfect narration of Oliver Wyman. Even though I buy the print copies, I have to listen to Oliver's rendition of the voices that I've come to know and love. This novel, like "Alpha" does not follow Pitt and instead follows the exploits of the undefeatable Agent Franks. This is a must have novel for fans of the series and if you haven't listened to any of them yet, start with the first one and listen to all of them. You will not be disappointed; I guarantee you.

Entertaining as hell!
What did you love best about Monster Hunter Nemesis?
The development of the lead character. Bad ass arch-angel in a re-tooled meat sack...with a bit of a conscience.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The lead. Franks. By far.
Which scene was your favorite?
The fight against the lead werewolf. Whoa. I wonder if today's Hollywood/CGI tech would do that justice on the big screen. Probably not. Also really liked how early American history was written in. Eventhough the book was all fantasy it was a bit of a stretch for me subscribing to the George Washington character as this revolutionary stud, given that real history writes him as a bit of a douche (IMO) keeping his Virginia plantation alive (read your history...). I think Franks punched him, instead of his horse, in an alternate universe...completely rewriting American history. I would have loooooooooved to have read that version.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Probably not. It's good to break away and come back to it. It's long enough where it has some moderate parts.
Any additional comments?
A good read. Well performed. I love how some of these narrators can keep track of all of the accents of the book's characters. The female voices were a bit cheesey, but I'm not sure how you're supposed to effectively go from the bass of a Franks to female voice. It was serviceable. But, as far as monster books go, loved it.

WWAFD? (What would Agent Franks do)
This is the next installment in the MHI series. In this novel you get to hear the story from the view of Agent Franks. He has a great backstory which has been hinted at in previous books but now gets explored in much greater detail. This is the typical MHI novel with lots of action, humor and a great story to boot. The narrarator is excellent and I feel that the authors works are actually better in audible format than reading them .
That being said there are a few minor negatives. First, we get that Franks is awesome. The author keeps the constant reminders up and it gets sort of repetative after a while. Second, the author does perhaps too good a job with the character. Franks isn't loveable, heck he isn't particularly likeable. He does a good job of getting this point across and that is the problem. While a good book, it is a bit harder to enjoy this one in that while Franks is cool, he isn't likeable and that makes it harder to root for him. This improves as the book goes on but it still takes a way from the story just a bit.
Still overall this is a great book and well worth a credit.

AGENT FRANKS!!!!!!
Originally posted at Fantasy Literature. We review SFF, horror, and comics for adults and kids, in print and audio daily.
There is no way that any review I write about Monster Hunter Nemesis is going to have any sort of effect on anybody’s decision to read it. If you’re a fan of the extremely popular MONSTER HUNTER series, then you’re going to read Monster Hunter Nemesis, the fifth book. If you’re not, you won’t. And if you’re not in one of those two camps, you have no reason to be reading this review. But still I have to write it, because that’s my job.
So, for those of you who ARE fans, what you can expect here is exactly what Correia has given us so far: great characters, a fascinating story, witty dialogue, and brutal violence. This particular installment features my favorite character: AGENT FRANKS! He’s a huge indestructible man(?) who works for the U.S. Monster Control Bureau, a government agency that fights monsters and sometimes works with or against Monster Hunter International. In Monster Hunter Nemesis we get his backstory. How old is he? Where did he come from? Why does he work for MCB? Why is he so loyal to the United States? How is he indestructible? You’ll find out in Monster Hunter Nemesis as Agent Franks takes on a bureaucrat who’s also a mad scientist. I have to say that I was completely surprised by the revelations and what they may mean for the ongoing MONSTER HUNTER story.
Fans will be happy to see a little bit of our old friends at MHI, the gangsta gnomes, and Heather the werewolf. Several new intriguing characters are introduced, too, and I look forward to seeing them in future installments. One main character is tragically killed and there is a delightfully promising plot twist at the end.
For those of you who haven’t yet started the MONSTER HUNTER series, I can highly recommend it if you love monsters, guns, engaging heroes, tons of action, clever plotting, and just the right amount of humor. I must warn you that it’s gory and violent (a little too much for me, honestly) and that Larry Correia’s libertarian views are occasionally on display, especially when he disrespects the government and the president of the United States (who is obviously President Obama).
If you’re going to try MONSTER HUNTER, start with the first book (Monster Hunter International) and continue in publication order. I also highly recommend Audible Studios’ versions which are brilliantly narrated by Oliver Wyman who totally “gets” this series and gives us a perfect performance for each character, and especially for Agent Franks. If you’re not an audio reader, this one could definitely change your mind.

Franks Revealed!
Oh My GODS that was amazing. Remember how Earl had his own book adventure? Well this time it's all about FRANKS, that likeable unstoppable government psycho. What IS he?! Well we find out EVERYTHING as Frank fights to save humanity from monsters whilst being framed and hunted himself. I won't say anymore. Fans of this series, rejoice if you love Franks. I have LOVED everything Correia has written! I'll definitely listen to this again! I already can't wait for the next one!
You might like this if you like Harry Dresden, Iron Druid, or Nathaniel Cade.

A bit of a disappointment
Would you try another book written by Larry Correia or narrated by Oliver Wyman?
Yes, although this was bad previous books were ok
What will your next listen be?
Out of the black evan currie
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
The narrator was Good considering the material he had to work with
Could you see Monster Hunter Nemesis being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
No It is a (POV) story most likely as a precursor to the next monster hunter (MHI) story at best it was a short story expanded into this novel .
Any additional comments?
This was a disappointment as it was meant to be a continuation of the previous monster hunter legion but was a diversion off the trail of the main story in the previous book which was about MHI and this was a POV of peripheral characters . Even as a stand alone it was badly written and could have been condensed in to half the time and length ( I know a guy has got to eat) but he could have written the main story and this would have been either the back end or a short prelude. The narrator sounded tired that must have been because of the material he had to work with . This is the worst of the series and i have listen to every one .

It's All About Franks!!
The fifth book in the Monster Hunter International series and like Monster Hunter Alpha, we step away from the main group and focus on one character, Agent Franks of the MCB. A goverment employed monster who for centuries has fought to protect the human race from other monsters.
Each chapter begins with Franks explaining at bit more of his origins, the book itself tells you all about the deal he made to live in this world and the Contract he made with the US goverment not to try to reproduce him.
That Contract is broken by Special Task Force Unicorn (STFU) a shady part of the goverment and Franks and a band of loyal MCB agents have to save the World from the consequences of the breach with the help of some familiar faces.
As with all the Larry Correia books i've read, there is lots of action, funny one liners, and all the gun details in the world.
I LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT!!!

Great book but.....
Love the MHI series but am getting very fed up with the political bashing. So you don't like the current administration, we get it. Please move on and get back to the story.
I love these books because they are an easy listen with a fun and paced story.
Just getting very fed up with the authors political views being rammed down your throats.

Good, but is it MHI
Monster hunter International is a company of heroic humans who know about the supernatural world. They defend mortal life with mortal weapons and cool banter. This book is not about MHI. That said, it’s a good book, and it gets the story arc along. But it is all about superhumans fighting at superhuman levels against Superhumans fighting at superhuman levels, which isn’t all that much more exciting than humans fighting humans. Unlike monster hunter alpha, MHI do actually make a cameo appearance and many other characters from the other stories feature heavily, so there are moments where the MHI sense of humour comes through. Story for stars, overall for stars, narration brilliant as always so five stars.

A great Thriller to kick back and relax to
I liked this story for A. Mother F"""ing Agent Frank. B. It's smooth and easy to follow. C. It's got a nice coating of action and humor. And lastly, it's about AGENT FRANK!
Yeah... i... it's pretty good.

Bonkers
Hardly worth writing a review, the fight scenes were so long and outrageously graphic and gruesome I zoned out most of the time, but Franks is so funny I had to keep listening, anything that makes me laugh that much in these tough times is worth a listen. It’s pure low brow entertainment, buts what’s wrong with that?

Frankenstein’s monster vs the Terminator
I’ve honestly been curious over Franks for a while and this chapter of the series was awesome. The last book that diverged from Owen I was a little uncomfortable with at first but really got into it after. This I was excited from the beginning. The twists and turns, learning about Nemesis and almost, almost giving Franks a little humanity, made this a worthwhile tale. It’s got the usual gore, it’s got the antiestablishment part which seems to be a trait in this series but actually gives reason behind the government and their officials which was unexpected. Honestly I’d have rated this without needing to know the story of MHI but this was once again a joyous audiobook that I do not regret purchasing.
