Monster Hunter Nemesis
#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 six foot five 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.
The series
In a world where monsters lurk in the shadows and the supernatural is an everyday reality, the Monster Hunter series by Larry Correia brings a refreshing mix of explosive action, dark humor, and heart-pounding adventure.

Read full series description
The Monster Hunter series follows a ragtag group of misfit hunters who have taken on the dangerous and lucrative job of eliminating the world’s deadliest monsters. From the first book, Monster Hunter International, readers are thrown into a world where no creature is safe, and the only way to survive is to outgun or outwit the terrifying supernatural threats that plague humanity. The stakes are high, and the action never lets up, as these hunters face creatures of all shapes and sizes—from vampires to werewolves, to much darker things lurking beneath the surface.
At its core, the series is about more than just killing monsters. It's about duty, honor, and what it means to fight for something bigger than yourself. Each character, from the tough-as-nails protagonist Owen Zastava Pitt to his team of colorful and capable misfits, is more than just a monster-slayer—they’re people with flaws, dreams, and personal demons. The bonds they form, the conflicts they face, and the growth they undergo make the Monster Hunter series a journey as much about the characters as it is about the battles they fight.
Larry Correia’s signature blend of fast-paced action, gun-fight intensity, and clever world-building makes this series stand out in a genre often dominated by more traditional heroes and vampires. His witty dialogue and dark humor add a unique flavor to the traditional monster-hunting story, creating a world that feels lived-in and richly detailed, where danger is always around the corner, but the characters' courage and camaraderie shine through.
Perfect for fans of urban fantasy and supernatural thrillers, the Monster Hunter series is a thrilling ride that doesn’t hold back. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to live in a world where fighting monsters is just another day at the office, this series is your answer.
