monster hunters
Is a good deal of fun.
I do enjoy reading someone who gets the details correct, and a gun and car/truck nut besides.
The “noble hero” thing is beginning to be a bit annoying. Commander Vimes i aint, and that annoying thing that people call a conscience is proving to be the downfall of humanity; these books illustrate that all too well.
Still: awesome read and i hope Larry stays healthy so i can enjoy more as he fine tunes his skills.
I suppose I will have to read it some time. Lots of people are saying it is good so it must be?
People love to see the good guys win, and they do. Mr Correia also has a middling understanding of who the good guys are, and that helps make it more enjoyable.
It is a good one, and worth reading! :-)
Funny you mentioned MHI, as I’m right in the middle of reading it.
Cracking good yarn so far. Good sense of humour too.
The thing that makes Commander Vimes so endearing is all the contradictions Pratchett writes. He is a hero in spite of himself. He is also from the commonest of clay but is more of a noble man than all the blue bloods in Ankh-Morpork who consider him nothing more than “a thief taker.” As the incorruptible captain of a corrupt police department, he stands for something better, something finer. Good husband, good father, too. Great character.
