We still have the traditional fantasy memes, only one person has the innate skills, untapped power and destiny to save mankind and that man is Owen Pitt. Stepping back I will say the idea behind Pitt was a little on the nose for me and he could have had some bigger flaws and a little more of a learning curve as he deals with his new world. He has been trained from an early age by his military father in all things war - he is the perfect monster fighting machine. With a dark past as a bare knuckle fighter he initially hides away as an accountant to escape his sins. The main character Pitt is a hulking beast of a man: tall, strong, skilled and smart. Think of it as a book that runs up hill without stopping and then jumps off. From the opening pages this book contains a lot of action and gun love, and continues in this vain from the start to finish.
It’s a hidden world known only to those who fight these creatures and those who have suffered at their hands. In Monster Hunter International we inhabit a world of werewolves, vampires, trolls, orcs and much much more. I know it sounds ridiculous but it was the combination of these things that encouraged me to purchase the book, which I was thankful for, as I did really enjoy the story. In the end what actually pushed me over the edge was something a little sillier and real world - it was the feel of the pages as I flicked through them, soft, silky and very tactile. I had lifted it at random from the shelf at my favourite bookshop, Pulp Fiction, read the blurb and immediately had my interest piqued. Initially, I did not think I would enjoy this style of book (vampires, werewolves etc.) but I was pleasantly surprised when I did.
