He’s free because he has a magical talent, being able to alter the force of gravity in himself and objects in his vicinity, and the Bureau of Investigation calls on him when they need his help in apprehending criminals with their own magical talents. But the last operation he was sent along to help with went completely wrong, and Delilah Jones, the woman the G-men were after, who just happened to be an old friend of Jake’s in happier times, had a lot of magical muscle with her, too much muscle for the cops to handle, even with Jake’s help.Seven Free Sample Chapters:From Barnes & NobleFrom AmazonMONSTER HUNTER ALPHAEarl Harbinger may be the leader of Monster Hunter International, but he’s also got a secret.

The Grimnoir Society’s mission is to protect people with magic, and they’ve done so—successfully and in secret—since the mysterious arrival of the Power in the 1850s.

Bom Dia Larry,I am currently on book 3 of the Grimnoir Chronicles audiobook. Man, I love this series! I’m new to your work and ended up listening to Hard Magic because I’m a big fan of Bronson Pinchot and I was looking at a list of books he narrated, and hard Magic seemed interesting.

I’m glad I did, I had a great time with them. I’m going to try the Monster Hunter books next. Being that I’m currently on the last Grimnoir book, I was wondering if you had any plans for any more books in the series?

Hey Larry I am a huge fan and the one responsible for getting your book on the California reading list, even if it was only for a few school. But the kids love it, its a though neighborhood and the girls like the the the female characters in the books aren’t in need of constant rescue plus the boy just like anthing that goes boom.

Anyway I was wondering if you’d put out any sample chapters for “Monster Hunter Legion” or how I can get on the preorder list. Thanks for you time and all the great books! Larry,Glad I picked up your book at the last gun show – it was nice talking with you.

I finished the book today and absolutely loved it! I can’t wait for MHI 2 to be published – I echo the sentiments above – WRITE FASTER!!!Thanks for a great read. I want a patch as well, gonna look nice on my Multi-Cam TRUs.So, since I don’t have another MHI novel to read, I have been renting every zombie/vampire movie I can get my hands on. I’m even playing online zombie games (The Last Stand parts 1 and 2) – andThese should keep your readers entertained for a bit!

Thanks again Larry – keep up the good work! I am a14 year old girl with a passion for monsters, guns and anything weird and dangerous. I am reading MHI for the again and it seems better this time around!

But I have a question: What is a Luska? You mentioned it a couple of times in the book and its been bugging me. Nothing comes up when I google search it and I can’t find anything on wikipedia. Is it something you made up?

Please tell me! I’m going insane!! (Actually I already went insane, but thats not my point)P.S. MHI is possibly the best book I have ever read and I would just like to say that Owen Z. Pitt would murder Harry Potter. Excellent bit of reading and lots of fun.

As a Southern currently residing in Alabama, I can only say ‘Thank You’ for making Alabama the home base for MHI.I’m pretty sure I’ve seen both Elves and Orc in the past few years. Gotta get out near Three Notch or Ox Level and see if I can find some new friends.I’m pondering some ‘Skippy the Orc’ gear.

Using Skippy peanut butter-style lettering. That should get some appropriately confused looks.

🙂Keep writing and we’ll keep reading. Thanks for a sub-culture worth being a part of.SandPine. Just finished “MHI”. I needed a book to take on vacation and my brother lent me his copy.

I made a face when he said it was about monsters, but he assured me that I would love this one. Love it, I did.imaginative, witty, funny, full of surprises. I love the “Enchanted Forest”.

It reminds me of some of my lazy, generation-welfare relatives. Including the beer, wrestling, and the can’t-wait-till-the-first-of-the-month government check! GREAT book.

It needs to be made into a movie. That would ROCK!!! Larry,I’ve only got the one published. MHV has been sold, and will be out in Fall 2010. I’ve got another series, alternative history/fantasy set in 1932 called The Grimnoir Chronicles. The first book is finished, and I’m trying to sell that to Baen now.

It is called Hard Magic. Then I’ve got a third series (thriller) which I am cowriting with another author named Mike Kupari.

The first book, Dead Six, is about 90% done, but Mike is on active duty, so that makes it tough.If you go to the My Fiction tab up top, it has some other miscellaneous things I’ve written. Justin Sharbono TV and the residuals would be a good idea, but TV can mess great books up. I found another book series through Scyfy, but it was nothing like the books.

It turns out they butchered the story. MHI is a complex story and would need much special and digital effects. I think ScyFy would butcher it, it would be best to actually get an indie producer to make three episodes as close to the world Larry made and that way if ScyFy picks it up they would have to keep up the high caliber work.Just my take on TV butchering books these days. Finished it for the 5th time yesterday. It’s just as good.

I need to buy this book in hardback. Right now it is sitting atop a pile of recently read books by Patricia Briggs, John Ringo, Joe Haldeman, S.M. Stirling, Raymond Feist, David Brin, and Roger Zelazny.

It shares the company well.When are you going to put together a band to do the music of “Cedar Point Killing Machine” You could always title the album “Music to kill monsters by.”Hold the pig steadyP.S. When I read that line am I the only one who thinks of the 60 gunner? I just wanted to say that I picked up your book Monster Hunter International a short while ago and I must say that it is great! It is one of the best books that I have read in a long time (and I usually read Dean Koontz and Stephen King)! I am almost finished with it and am eagerly waiting for the second Monster Hunters book.

I have one question for you. Why the hell has SYFY (hate the new spelling) not turned MHI into a movie, mini series, or all out series on their channel? I think it would be a smart move on thier part! I am a new fan of yours and keep up the great writing! I just wanted to say I LOVE THIS BOOK! I also like Dean Koontz and Michael Crichton (R.I.P) but this book has easily become one of my favorites ever.I agree with othersthis series would be a FANTASTIC movie or series (in a perfect world SyFy would do a series based on this and air it back-to-back with Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files).

Hell, reading this book has just been like reading through a movie to me anyways – I can definitely visualize it as a movie.Also, have you ever thought about running up a small batch of hardcover prints through Subterranean Press ?? That would be amazing! I would love to purchase MHI in a special hardcover edition!Keep up the great work! I can’t wait until MHI: Vendetta comes out in September! I love some of the details you put in your book. I noticed several Mormon references, including not obvious ones (I am a Mormon as well), and a couple nods to webcomics: Sluggy Freelance (mini-lop bunny armed with a switchblade), and Schlock Mercenary (Milo’s homemade flamethrower hummed ominously).

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the sequel and your other projects.By the way, my wife is working on some novels. A bit away from getting published, but do you have any tips for writing?

On a slightly different topic, have you been on Writing Excuses yet? You totally should be. I’m a life long westerner, but I lived in Alabama and Mississippi for two years as an LDS missionary, believe it or not.I love the South, and I hate that in most fiction southerners are always portrayed badly. Being from B’ham, I know you know what I’m talking about. 🙂 I wanted to write something where southerners were portrayed as the clever, tough, badasses that they really are. Plus, Alabama is just a fun place to set a book about monsters. Monster Hunter Vendetta takes place mostly around Montgomery, then Monster Hunter Alpha takes place in the UP of Michigan.

(another place that gets no respect) The next one, which doesn’t officially have a title yet (though in my head it is increasingly becoming Monster Hunter Legion) takes place between Las Vegas and the Dugway Proving Grounds. MHI is awesome!

I was just strolling through books-a-million looking for anything and the title coupled with the cover art (seriously, the head in one hand and freak shotgun in the other would stop anyone in their tracks) really grabbed my attention. I Started reading and literally couldn’t put it down. (I read it in one sitting 6-7 hours) The Ambush in the Bottoms is easily one of the most intense sequences I’ve ever read and the book is full of them.

I could go on and on but suffice it to say I’m a fan and can’t wait for Vendetta.P.S.- More Agent Franks! I cant help but assume from the ending of HHV that there will be a book 3 monster hunter series. I just would like you to confirm this if you could. Also if there is to be a book 3 when could i expect it to be on the shelves? Iv read many book so far to the point were people say i need to stop and limit my self to how much i read but non have caught my attention like the monster hunter books. I am addicted to them.

They are by far the best books ever written in my opinion and can wait to read more.thank for your time,gage. And also the Third in the “Owen” series. So next out will be Grimnoir I (Hard Magic), then MH Alpha, Grimnoir II (I think), then the third in the “Owen” series, then MH Nemesis (Franks). I know I’m leaving out the collaborative books with John Ringo and I think there might be another Grimnoir between MH Z (or whatever he calls the third Owen book) and MH Nemesis. So by my tally you have at LEAST three more MHI books AND the Grimnoir chronicles AND The Correia/Ringo books, AND Dead Six (publisher still unknown). Plus Larry is writing some short stories in both the MHI and the Grimnoir series for Baen. Larry’s going to be busy for a while yet, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he comes out with some other MHI side projects here and there.

(And that’s all before Hollywood comes out with the movie!) Gage, have you read the free chapters on Grimnoir yet? Very different than MHI but just as awesome in its own way.Larry, did i miss anything? I know this is my 3rd post within the last 20minutes but a thought just popped into my head. With it’s popularity that continues to rise the Monster Hunter series very well may be asked to be made into a movie or series of movies.

Larry should you receive such an off i must ask, no beg you to not allow Hollywood to destroy your books story on the big screen. I’m not saying it shouldn’t become a movie it absolutely should. Just don’t allow them to butcher the the story to what they think will work better make them butcher there damn scripts to match the book and not butcher the book to match a script.thank for your time,gage. Sage, that’s a good question. There are hundreds of awesome books out there to choose from.

Head over to and click on the webscriptions for their free library. You can sample hundreds of books over there (and hundreds of the whole book for free). That’s probably a good place to start. I was partial to my publisher way before I wrote for them. 🙂 Ringo, Williamson, Hoyt, Weber, Drake, Flint. All good authors there and more.Outside of Baen, recently I’ve been reading John Brown, Dan Wells, Dan Simmons, F. Paul Wilson, Brandon Sanderson, and I’m currently reading a zombie novel by Weston Ochse.

Larryi got a little story for you. I was in a book store looking for a good book. My friend said i should read a book called the outstretched shadow.

So i grab the book take it to the cashier. I paid for the book and a huge fight breaks out in line. So i grab my book a break for the door. I get home and open the bag and its not the outstretched shadow. It was MHI in the bag.

I was so mad i was on my way out the door to take the book back back. My girlfriend stoped me and said that it was some kind of fait crap and i should read it. So being the good boyfriend she trained me to be.i did and i have got to say MHI is the best mistake i have ever read. Im half way through MHV and i think its better than the first. Well I’m eagerly awating Alpha, or the ARC!

I was truely impressed and entertained by the first two books in the Series. Sadly they are gone now. I made the mistake of reading them during the breaks at last years All Army Service Rilfle Championships and they were snagged by my buddies. So do me a favor and make them avalible for the Kindle. So being a Professional Soldier and having around 50 months in combat zones around the globe as a Sniper (now SKT for the pollitically correct) I have yet to see any major faults or errors in your techno-speak and the charecter is much like myself (redblooded gun nut who digs hot chicks who can shoot) I could see skippy using flechete rockets in the hind with silver flechets. You could use slugs filled with silver nitrate soaked saw dust but hey I’m the guy who wiped the oil from poisen Ivy mixed with dmso all over insurgent cache sites in Iraq.

They wipe their ass with there hands. It became easy to ID them. I have found some kindred spirits in your books. I thought only a grunt/ranger/sniper/etc could come up with some of your stuff. Write on dude and I’ll tip one back to you when the next eddition comes out. I forgot to mention my HK (no compromise) expierence! I have nothing but respect for the shooting community.

Your opinion is yours and if I don’t agree with it. I WILL RESPECT IT! So I was at the final firing line in the 2010 ALL ARMY CHAMPIONSHIPS!

The echo of the PA system in my ears as the Cadre said this event is rapid fire! There are no Alibi’s! I knew I had it nailed down. When the lifters came up I fired exactly one round and my weapon locked open on the ass end of the rounds that nose dived into the front of the HK steel magazine. Well as I mentioned, it was a no alibi event and the final firing line so I couldn’t change mags out as it was my last one.

I now have a dented to hell, HK (you suck and we hate you) magazine framed on my wall next to the one gold medal I did win. I went from first place to honorable mention when I dropped those 25 points on the last firing line. It was not a total loss as everyone around especially the cadre laughed until they had tears in their eyes as an irrate 1SG in the throws of a Class A, PTSD assisted Melt Down! Butt Stoked the offending magazine to death on the firing line!

So Fred I hope the little Squeeze Cocker on your P7 doesn’t fail you. It fortunatley was only in a match when mine failed. I have had it go the other way man!

You don’t have a breeching tool to transition to I’m betting. Remeber revolvers are small and don’t jam.P.S. For the love of god please realse your ARC of Alpha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would’ve lost my mind too! What were you shooting a P-7?

We used to carry USP’s in.45 on our team, but my Dept. Transitioned from Berettas to G-19, so we ditched the USP for G-21SF’s I liked them both but shoot the 21 a bit better as a rule. To be honest on swat jobs I usually carry my 19 ’cause it doesn’t get in the way going in the muck and mire. And I have it set up for a Trident9 suppressor that can come in handy from time to time. It is not Hollywood quiet, but with subsonic.147’s is pretty damn close to it!My latest toy is a CZ-SP-01. I got it for a song from an estate sale in unfired shape.

I did an action job, and added a Sig light and shooting 300’s is embarrassingly easy It is getting to be my favoritehog leg in a hurry. Now if I could only find good kydex to carry it in I will be set!As far as the P-7. I just like it. I will carry it off duty, till I find something I like better, (Been through Glocks, Kahr’s, dozens of 1911’s) and it is still my favorite piece. Or if it fails me.

It hasn’t so far! I know it’s not for everyone. But it makes me smile.

Even if I do have to get my nomexs gloves out after 40-50 rounds!Larry, just started “Vendetta” I love it, The only issues is. It is over too soon. So keep cranking ’em out! (They make me smile too!)Thanks!Fred. Just wanted to say that just bought the first two monster hunters and absolutely loved them. Everything a cowboy could hope for, great guns, great action, great humor, and great women.

If I could have one request that you put in your books it would be a unicorn from hell lol. You know; fangs, attitude, halfway intelligent. I had a horse that was amazing growing up, except for the biting of anything he didnt like, and sometimes bucking for no reason but that sucker was smart! Keep up the great work! I’m only about 4 hrs.

Into MHI, audiobook version from Audible, but had to comment. What a romp, and I haven’t even gotten to the middle of the story! Such glorious, uninhibited guts-n-eyeballs monster splatter–my mind’s eye is much more happy with this than playing Resident Evil 4 on our Wii. And the GUNS, oh, the GUNS!

I LOVE GUNS, and you made a story with gun-loving GIRLS, not your helpless typical Adventure Story Barbies. The Sisterhood of the 2nd Amendment blesses you, Bro, for including triggerwomen on Team Save the World. Can’t wait to get farther along with Owen and the rest of MHI. Larry, quite by accident I came across MHI on the Audible website. After listening to it in 2 days, I quickly downloaded MHI2. Having just completed that, I am patiently waiting for MHI3. I have just downloaded Hard Magic and hope the ride, although different, keeps me right up there as one of your biggest fans.

I turn 50 in a few months and have read this genre most of my life, your books shows me that despite the rehashing of old plots and making pretty the world of vampires and werewolves by others, there is someone who still looks at the fantasy world with dark eyes and an immense amount of talent to tell a story. Bravo, bravo, bravo! Hey Larry I just had to tell you I just finished reading Hard Magic the other day and once again you have blown me away. I hadn’t realized you’d released your new book and stumbled across it at B&N, my friend watched me snatch it up so fast and asked what it was about. I told him I wasn’t sure yet but it was written by Larry Correia so it’ll be awesome. And it was!You are one of the best writers I’ve read in years and I love all your stuff, it’s just awesome.

I’m just getting into guns and shooting myself so it was very refreshing to read from someone with so much knowledge on the subject. It’s so much fun to see what cool toys MHI or the Grimnoirs are going to unload into some baddies next.Extra cool points for shotgun-toting farmgirl vs. And also for the character of Milo, that LDS membership shines through for someone who knows what to look for 😉Anyway Larry just need to say thanks for sharing your awesome talents with the rest of us and creating some truly memorable stories. Look forward to all your future projects.

Just taking a break from this incredibly awesome read to say: My brother read about Monster Hunter International on one of the forums he belongs to and decided to check it out. He loved it as well as the sequels. He’s been telling me I need to read these for months and I finally started MHI a few days ago. If I didn’t have to work, I would have been done within a day or two.

As it is, I am not getting my required beauty sleep and I blame my brother – and you, of course. 😉 So worth it, though!

I am loving this so much! Cannot wait to finish and read the next few books and I’ve gotta read more of your writing. I have been an MHI fan since pretty much the beginning for many reasons, not the least of which is that Julie is both a bad ass and an Auburn alum. I told two of my Auburn brethren – both former Marines, one a sniper – about MHI and finally they downloaded the eBooks. The sniper took MHI to Vegas and wound up reading by the pool instead of playing blackjack. He downloaded MHV and MHA before his trip was over, and finished both within two days of returning home.

The other guy travels constantly and burned through all three in two weeks. They both thought I was cool before for being a woman who is passionate about football, but now, after introducing them to MHI?

I am a freaking ROCK STAR. So yeah, thanks for giving me major street cred with my Auburn Jarheads!!May I suggest a book signing at Murder By The Book in Houston? This state (excluding Austin) is as red as Utah. People here love books like MHI. Hell, this is Texas – guns are a practical fashion accessory. Plus, I am convinced there is at least one Undead on our County CommissionThanks again and War Eagle!!! You sir, are a genius.

Trailer park elves? Ghetto gnomes? While I don’t know much about guns and gun types, I absolutely LOVE the Monster Hunter novels. My dad (who is a gun fanatic) got the first book from a co-worker and thought I might like it.

Hell.I LOVED IT! I just finished Vendetta and Alpha, and it’s going to be a difficult wait for the next one to come out. I DON’T wanna wait that long! (Neither does my Dad, really.) But in the mean time, I’ll work on the Grimnoir Chronicles. The sense of humor that you’ve got and written into the books is something both my Dad and I can really appreciate.

Keep ’em coming sir, your books are AWESOME!P.S. Dad says he really loves your writing style.P.P.S. This is going to be a long year until Legion comes out. Excellent article, Larry.

While I’ve always been a conservative (I voted for Reagan in 1980, when I was 18), I had no idea what presidents like FDR and Woodrow Wilson were really like until I started listening to Glenn Beck a few years ago. And you’re correct about Newt he’s a progressive Republican. So is Romney. Huntsman is a progressive Democrat running in the Republican primary. Ron Paul is Ron Paul. With Bachman out of the race, the only conservative left is Santorum.I get your books from Baen eBooks, and now I know why you’re with Baen you fit right in politically with many of their other authors 🙂Oh, in case you haven’t updated your links, it’s now instead of. Seems that I am coming into the series a bit late but I have enjoyed them very much so far.

Witty, funny and so fukin imaginative, I’m fully addicted. It’s a refreshing break from the trueblood crap I get stuck ingesting thanks to my beloved wife.

We won’t even get started on vamps that sparkle.Just wanted to say thank you Larry. I listen to the books through audible and the guy narrating them is awesome. Your characters are great. I would really like to hear a story like the monster hunter series written and acted out like an old time radio show. I personally don’t have time for reading or tv for that matter, and music these days blows goats. Audio books are my main entertainment.

Keeps me sane for a work day at a time.Thanks again for listening and please keep up the great work! Thanks for letting Baen publish the 3-book omnibus of Monster Hunters 🙂 I got it with the June 2012 Ebook Monthly Bundle, which I had been waiting for just for your omnibus. I’ve been reading the first book, and it’s so good it’s been very hard to put down! 🙂 I had learned about the MHI series when Monster Hunter Alpha appeared in the Aug 2011 monthly bundle (I’ve been buying the monthly bundles since December 2010 when I got my Kindle 3), but I wanted to start at the beginning of the series, so have been patiently waiting.

I’ll get around to your other books, eventually, but not before I read all the MHI books 🙂. Correia,I must say I just finished legion and I am quite furious.

But most definitely ready for the next one. I read international when it first came out and have read all of the serious. (I’m a pretty big fan) I actually heard of you through friends of mine that said they shot with you in competitions, small world huh.

You are by far my favorite author, and I have read many a book. Please please please keep up the good work, I will be looking for any news regarding the next book.

Also what you did with Ed, very nice, but I don’t think orcs can cash in on puff bounties. And please don’t let kerkonen die, earl really deserves someone who’s a worthy opponent. That is all for now, I will be checking on you soon enough.Finest Regards,Mr. Hi – I deeply enjoyed to read the french traduction of “hard Magic”.I read it straight and I did hardly could stop for some break such as sleeping or eating.As I expect some long waiting for the next traduction. I do think about read it in english it’s something I’ve just done for few writers:– W. Shekespeare– R. Stevenson– T.

PratchettI also tried to getout with “Moby dick” but never manage to go further than the 3 or 4 first pages (lack of willing I guess).As I’m quite lazy please insist for some more traduction. I love your new book Monster Hunters Legion. I can’t wait for the next installment of the Monster Hunter series even though I could see that the next book may be a little bit darker and more serious. I want to see Management the Dragon back in the next book. I finally have time to read Legion and an idea popped into my head. It would be bitchen if you could have a site that has a fake interface for the MHI home page, and an MCB page with PUFF listings and current global hot spots. Just some fake sights that have cool blogs, press releases legal mombo jumbo.

I bet you could even get a fan to do most of the site and all you would have to do is approve of it. I just think it would be cool to have a MCB site with a bestiary and PUFF listings. Maybe even an MHI page with info on how to hire MHI to rid your city/resort of nasty things etcJust something I think would be cool, I’m gonna go back to Legion now and continue laughing my ass off. The website is the easy part to set up, at least the back bones. The important parts are the; Layout, Stories(cover stories, out breaks, witness reports), PUFF listings, and the Artist Renditions(sketches of the nasty monsters from witness reports).

For most of it, it would require a fans with artistic talent and writing talent. The only thing that wouldn’t need major writing talent would be “witness reports” as they would be first had stories. Throw all that together with a dedicated fan willing to tell some submissions they didn’t make the cut, and you have the makings of a decent website.It could be done, I’m guessing a sterile look/feel for the MCB site, and a user friendly down home look for the MHI site.I would love for sites like that, I would visit regularly to see the new witness reports and sketches. I bet some creative writers could spin real life events into some of the cover up stories with the MCB site being full of bull and the MHI site having the real event in a “members only” area so MCB can’t yell at them for spilling the beans.

Larry,I’m citing you in a speech on urban and wilderness survival. I can’t cite Pa a former metallurgist(he never published) on silver bullets being bad for the barrels of guns so I’m referencing as an expert gun nut/ fictional author.The speech is mostly a a clever ruse, I’m trying to teach these yuppie liberals about urban and wilderness survival and I’m doing it under the premise of urban=zombie and wilderness=werewolf. I figure telling a bunch of kids that guns are good and killing Bambie and Thumper to survive will go down easier with some fiction along side it.I’m ending it with telling them it was a ruse, but saying “I’d give an analogy for vampire survival but everyone knows vampires are real”. I have to tell you that I found you after following a link given to me by someone who was very impressed with your blog post about gun control. (Very good post, by the way. I’m not anti-gun by any stretch, but I’ve been trying to understand what’s been going on, and what has some of my friends so upset. The post gave me a lot to think about, so thanks for that).

I was surprised to find that you are also an author, and after reading what you wrote about yourself in your “About Me” section (I’m also a Utah transplant from CA! And I also avoid going back at all costs;), I decided to try the first one–though I am positive that I’m not the demographic your books usually appeal to (being an LDS mom of 3 who drives a minivan), but I love fantasy, monsters, sci-fi, and other such genres. I don’t have time to read much these day, so I listen to tons of books from Audible (helps me feels less hateful to my domestic chores of bliss). I was determined to listen to the whole book before I left you a comment, but I’m 2 hours into it and I can’t wait any more: Love it! So excited to listen to more. Thanks so much!

And I do hope your kids get some pet cows someday 😉. Love the books Larry. Have MHI, Vendetta, and Alpha books and ebooks and i have Legion on just ebook early release. Question though. Was there any major changes from the early release ebook to final print?

I’m currently in Afghanistan and am re reading them all again, but only have the ebooks with me. What sucks is I cant take electronics into the place I work.

Gonna have my books sent to me or just buy them again on amazon. Love the books so glad an old friend told me about them.

Cant wait for the next MHI book! Keep up the good work. Anything MHI related you got my money. Greetings from Afghanistan! Hey Larry,I just wanted to take some time to thank you for an amazing series of books. I read all 4 Monster Hunter books in three weeks. Honestly, I usually take more time to read books that I really enjoy, but I just couldn’t put yours down.

For me, I have to really like the characters in any given story if I am going to really enjoy it, and I fell in love with every character in yours. Owen is bad ass, Harbinger is just f.king cool, Milo is easily one of my favorites, but Skippy takes the cake for me. His impeccable taste in music makes up for our completely different political views;-). I mean, honestly, Mein Herz Brennt?? Very coolBefore finishing this all too long comment, I’d like to suggest one kind of obscure band for you to listen to, Pigmy Love Circus. One song in particular, off of the album The Power of Beef, really reminds me of Harbinger. In particular, I picture this song the moment he first changes in front of Owen while fighting one of the Master Vampires in ‘International’.

Many other songs for whatever reason bring back visuals from each book, but I’d really like to know what you think? Well, I am very much looking forward to the next installment, and I fully intend to have each and every person I know read each book, or tell me to shut up and stop trying to get them to.Hope all is well with you and your family!Ray Atencio.

Here’s hoping that the Audible of Warbound will come out when the print version does. Bronson Pinchot does a fantastic job of fleshing out the characters in the first two. Please tell me he’s on board for #3! I’ve listened to both Grimnoir 3 times(!!) For those of you that have read the books, I can promise you’ll like the characterizations on the audiiobooks. I’ve gifted Audible Hard Magic to my son in the US Army in Germany, a daughter working in a orphanage in Ecuador, and another son in L.A. Awaiting their feedback. Oh, and I just threw a hook into my youngest adult daughter living at home with the “job interview” chapter of MHI (Oliver Wyman is also an extraordinarily talented reader) I’ve got multiple “listens” to the entire MHI series also) Might just have 4 more fans for you soon!!

Hello Larry,I’m French and I’ve discovered your novels 2 years ago, starting with Monster Hunter International and then the Grimnoir chronicles. I’m an children Illustrator and I spend my whole day working at my desk while listening at your books, and man, they are just AWESOME.

It’s actually quite funny thinking I’m illustrating Princesses and Fairytales while listening to awesome werewolf one-to-one ( Alpha was KICK-ASS!! The kick I got for that one!!). My man here at home is a huge genre fan and was just adamant to discover MHI ( still not translated into french here ), so it was heaven when I read the Grimnoir chronicles ( can’t wait for August to get the new one) cause your first two books have been translated into french. I got the first one for him as a surprise and he was head over heels, and devoured it in a few days. The 2nd one has just been released here and I’ll get that one also for him ( and me!

It would be fantastic if MHI could get translated in french, they are just so good. Thanks for writing these books, they are just great and I’ve been so enthusiatically noisy about these at my workplace than fellow coworkers have now also bought your books and are now hooked. Keep up the excellent work!Respectfully,Diane Le Feyer. I am mostly through with the Baen e-book version of Warbound. Love the book, but you seriously need to talk to your editor. I caught a few spelling and syntax errors; however, the most egregious thing was when the beastie told Sullivan to turn right down an alley to get to a tailor shop.

He turned left and got where he needed to go anyway. (or it may be vice versa – working from (bad) memory here).BTW – if that’s the worst, you are having a better day than I usually do.I hope this isn’t the last book of the series. Keep up the good work. Correia —I just discovered your works about a year ago and wanted to let you know what a pleasant surprise they have been. I enjoy your libertarianish outlook and the great action. My biggest difficulty is in deciding which I like better, the “Grimnoir” series or the “MHI” series, and that determination usually varies according to which book I’ve read most recently.

As you might have guessed, Jake Sullivan and Co. Are currently in the lead.

I especially enjoy the very distinctive cast of characters that inhabit both of these worlds.Speaking of memorable characters, of all the good souls who have met untimely ends in your stories, the one that sticks with me the most is poor Delilah. Someone who had such a hard-scrabble life, so few periods of contentment or happiness (the last one about a day long) and who then had to spend her last hours under a terrible and painful curse.

Seems like she always got the dirty end of the stick. I know from comments that you don’t intend on returning to that time period or those characters, but if for some reason you ever change your mind, it sure would be nice to have a guest appearance by Delilah’s spirit, if only for long enough to let us know she’s finally found a place of peace and contentment.

While I think we would assume that, it would be nice to hear it from her own ghostly lips.In a related vein, if I could pick one character from the “Grimnoir” series I’d love to see in a stand-alone story (as you did with Harbinger from MHI), it would be the lovely Miss Hammer. She has a fascinating back story and an interesting power, and now that she’s with the BI, she’d be likely to find herself involved in all manner of interesting situations. (I’d actually hoped she and Jake would end up being an item, but Akane beat her out. At least, I assume that’s who the “still sleeping wife” is, though you never actually NAME her, do you? Hmmmm.)Anyway, looking forward to Agent Franks’ upcoming adventure. Please keep up the great work, and thanks!
