A 6'5”, 300 pound man versus a 7ft tall nigh indestructible warrior? Yes please! And it is a fantastic one on one fight. He singlehandedly invades their castle, frees his men and then stays back to fight the leader of the Hunt so his men can escape. He's on the run from the Big Baddies' lackeys the whole time and it turns out that the guys he needs to rescue have been taken by a High Hunt of Fey. When Owen goes into the Nightmare Zone by himself, the action didn't slow down very much. A tank versus a giant was wicked cool and 100+ hunters in armoured jeeps versus a whole island of monsters, well, that is just what I want to read about. Skippy the orc flying a helicopter is always amusing to read about. Reading these books, for a couple of hours I can be somebody who I want to be. He's big, he's tall, he's emotionally stable and doesn't go into a tailspin if his wife doesn't text him, he's a leader and he's wicked good with guns. One of the reasons I like him is because he's everything I am not. He's not a slimeball like the guy in Monster Hunter Memoirs and he's someone I like reading about. Throw in the multiple languages, the fact that the portal to the Nightmare Zone is on a Russian island and the Russkies don't want to admit that the island even exists and you'd better have some solid planning under your belt. It was 6months to a year I think? Lots of logistics, training Hunters to work together who just 3 months ago were competitors, at best, and enemies, at worst. I ended up enjoying this quite a bit and I wasn't disappointed because it wasn't Nemesis 2.0. I KNEW my expectations were high and looked over my previous MHI reviews to help ground me. The previous book in the series, Nemesis, really blew me away, So my expectations were pretty high. But by gum, reading this early was worth it. This was an e-arc, so any errors in words, grammar, etc in the book were ignored. He escapes back to our world only to find that the Big Baddie has escaped and is on the loose. Only to be captured and frozen in the ground for 6 months.
Only Owen gets through the portal, as his Chosen One status is a bit better than Anakin's and he rescues his comrades. Multiple Hunter Companies are taking part and it is on a Russian island. The push to get to the portal is pretty intense. So there is a lot of getting ready, figuring out how they're going to survive the Zone and how their going to get back to the portal. Owen has the prophecy talk with his Dad, finds out he has been chosen to fight a World Ending Being that can hold its own against the Old Ones.Ĭoincidentaly enough, the rescue mission that Own wants to run to get the survivors will take them right to the Big Bad Guy. MHI finds out that a group of Hunters is still alive in the Nightmare Zone, after being sucked in there from the story in Legion.
