#5 in multiple New York Times bestseller Larry Correia's Monster Hunter series.

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 thirteen.

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.

At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Lexile Score: 800… (plus d'informations)

Incredible. Larry Correia has done it again.

I laughed several times, and read passages to Molly. And to not spoil it, didn't read some passages to Molly. They were hilarious. ( )

I know I am not the target audience for this series, but I still love it! And I have always had a fondness for Special Agent Franks, who is the main character in this book. Monsters! Mayhem! And add fallen angels to the mix this time! Yes, this book inspires me to use an overabundance of exclamation points!

If you've read the other books in the series, this one will be a blast! ( )

Correia heldur áfram að þróa heimsmynd sína skref fyrir skref. Þessi saga sýnir hins vegar sjónarhorn Franks sem starfar fyrir Bandaríkjastjórn og oft tekist á við einkafyrirtækin sem fyrri aðalsöguhetjurnar hafa unnið við.
Við kynnumst nú bakgrunni Franks og upphafi en einnig samkomulagi sem hann hefur gert við stjórnvöld sem gengur út á að hann vinni fyrir þau gegn því að þau muni aldrei nýta sér þá tækni sem skapaði hann. Þegar samkomulagið er rofið hefst hins vegar blóðug atburðarrás þar sem hann hefur blóðugar hefndaraðgerðir.
Correia kynnir einnig nokkrar nýjar persónur til sögunnar og gefur til kynna mikilvægi þeirra fyrir framhald bókaseríunnar.
Ágætis hasar en glíman við að sætta þessa heimsmynd við nútímann er snúin og ósannfærandi. ( )

Good fun, well plotted. ( )

This straightforward read brings frankenstein's monster against a werewolf; including special guest stars that includes the son of frankenstein's monster, cthulhu types, a host of fallen angels. There's even a very special accountant that drops in on the fun.
I hope you like guns! And pain! Lots and lots of pain!
More than anything, I was struck by how very patriotic the whole novel was. It was one of the most literal mind-bending "For God and Country" pastiches I've ever read, but it wasn't hokey. Or at least it was so over the top hokey that it found its equilibrium on the far side.
The tongue in cheek was sometimes on the other side, too.
Fun stuff, peeps. ( )
