Larry Correia, International Lord of Hate and Mountain who Walks, has a new short story out from an upcoming collection of weird west tales. It’s about Bubba Shackleford, the founder of MHI, and it’s available online for free [http://www.baen.com/Chapters/9781481482691/9781481482691.htm]. He also rates Iron Fist a resounding “meh [http://monsterhunternation.com/2017/05/10/iron-fist-rates-a-solid-meh/]“.…

Since I was covering “well crafted crap [https://thelastredoubt.com/2017/01/sjws-produce-terrible-work.html]” yesterday, I forgot one book that stands out as a rare work I haven’t finished, no matter how fine the prose, briefly mentioned in my gushing [https://thelastredoubt.com/2016/08/monster-hunter-memoirs-grunge-or-las.html] over John Ringo’s Monster Hunter Memoirs: Grunge.

A long time ago, on…
Anyone already a fan of Larry Correia’s Monster Hunter and Grimnoir novels (if not, what’s wrong with you?) probably knows he’s also been doing an entirely different series with Mike Kupari that can best be described as a technothriller/adventure romance. Imagine if a Tom Clancy book existed in a parallel universe where midnight coast to coast was more correct than you’d think, many modern conspiracy theories were real, subtle bits of magic and Lovecraftian horror are hinted at, but not anywher…
Before writing this I made the mistake of looking at the existing reviews. Heh. There was a lot of hate for Ringo in the comments. I also get it – Ringo’s sense of humor and story complements Larrys, but it’s different. I know people who can’t stand the Grimnoir books but love MHI. Go figure. So I’ll tackle complaints first: 1. “Mary Sue” – my first hint you don’t read John Ringo, especially when you claim to like his other stuff. Have you ever met his characters? I don’t mean in the…
