      "Agent Franks of the U. S. Monster Control Bureau is a man of many parts---parts from other people, that is. Frank is nearly seven feet tall and nearly indestructible. P;us 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, foreign and domestic, by one of the country's founding fathers, Frank added one condition to the agreement: the government must never make more creatures like him. Should the powers-that-be do so, then the agreement is null and void. Then he discovers that, under Project Nemesis, the director of the very agency Frank works for is not only making more like him, but is 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." ---backcover

      This is New Orleans. That mantra had rung in Chad Gadenier's ears since his first day working in the Big Easy. Everything was different in New Orleans. The food. The climate. The monsters. Even the shadowy and reprehensible MCB was different. But that is just the beginning. The real reason New Orleans is so different is a larval Great Old One growing day by day in power and just about ready to pop. If Chad can't convince "the powers that be" to get involved not only New Orleans but the entire world is going to fall under the power of the nastiest of nasties. Now on the outs with the US Government and in exile from his usual job of saving the world, Chad must rally the forces of light against the coming darkness. The problem is one guy with a sword and a sub-gun isn't going to solve this one. Fortunately, Chad's made a few friends over the years. And the Fey hate Old Ones as much as God's people, and they're not about to give up this world without a fight. If the Saints don't come marching in on this one ... there won't be a Final Battle. There will be a final massacre. Now, where'd he put that number for the ditzy fey princess ...?

    • In a business like monster hunting, it's all about setting priorities. The chaos god Asag has been quiet since the destruction of the City of Monsters, but Monster Hunter International know that he is still out there, somewhere-plotting, waiting for his chance to unravel reality. When Owen Pitt and the MHI team discover that one of Isaac Newton's Ward Stones is being auctioned off by Reptoids who live deep beneath Atlanta, they decide to steal the magical super weapon and use it to destroy Asag once and for all. But before the stone can be handed off, it is stolen by a mysterious thief with ties to MHI and the Vatican's Secret Guard. It's a race against time, the Secret Guard, a spectral bounty hunter, and a whole bunch of monsters to acquire the Ward Stone and use it against Asag. For as dangerous as the chaos god is, there is something much older-and infinitely more evil-awakening deep in the jungles of South America

A master thief and a hard-hitting mercenary team up to defeat a Central Asian warlord with worldwide destruction on his mind. The hard-hitting sequel to groundbreaking military adventure Dead Six. On the far side of the world, deep in former Soviet Central Asia, lies a stronghold called the Crossroads. It is run with an iron fist by a brutal warlord calling himself Sala Jihan. He is far more than a petty dictator, for Jihan holds the fate of nations in his grasp. To save a world slipping into chaos, Jihan must either fall or be controlled. One secret military organization called Exodus plans to see that this happens. For this mission, they need the best of the best. Unfortunately the man they need is rotting in an almost unassailable foreign prison. Enter Lorenzo, thief extraordinaire. Lorenzo is now retired, happily married and living in paradise. His Achilles heel: an FBI-agent brother who has gone missing—disappeared into the stronghold of warlord Jihan. Exodus promises to give Lorenzo his chance to rescue his brother if and only if Lorenzo will perform one service for them: break Michael Valentine out of a captivity from which no one has ever emerged alive. And if Lorenzo can accomplish that—well then, the Crossroads awaits the sword of Exodus.

      Obří sovětský démon útočí na Japonsko a v cestě mu stojí syn grimnoirského rytíře Jakea Sullivana a jeho neméně obří bojový robot. Nenáviděný rebel, heretik a vrah Ratul vám prozradí svou verzi událostí ze Ságy zapomenutého válečníka. Agent Franks se v Iráku utká s démony a navíc zjistíte, co dělají někteří zaměstnanci Lovců monster, když mají den volna. Dále vás čeká globální válka s upíry, souboj samurajů s mezihvězdným lovcem lebek, a vrátí se i interdimenzionální pojišťovací agent Tom Stranger, aby vyřešil únos finančního ředitele nejmocnější a nejobávanější společnosti ve všech známých vesmírech – kapustňáka Wendella. A jak by řekl Wendell, bude to Hoooon!

      Larry Correia vám ve své první povídkové antologii nabízí čtrnáct povídek o démonech, monstrech, upírech a kosmických hrůzách příliš strašlivých, aby mohly být pojmenovány – a statečné muže a ženy, kteří se jim postaví. Zavítejte do světa Lovců monster, ať už do současnosti, kde elfská princezna musí přehodnotit svůj názor na krvelačné orky, nebo do předminulého století, kdy první lovecká společnost Bubby Shackleforda křižovala Západ divočejší, než si dokážete představit. Ve světě Grimnoirských kronik se soukromý detektiv Jake Sullivan snaží vypátrat ztraceného Léčitele a na palubě luxusní vzducholodě se zaplete do politických her nejmocnějších států na Zemi. A kromě známých hrdinů vás v této knize čeká i mnoho nových, ať už je to samuraj pronásledující obří mořskou příšeru, vyhlášený odstřelovač sledující vražedného mága, tankisté bojující s neporazitelným nepřítelem nebo jediný pojišťovací agent, který vás dokáže pojistit i pro případ mimozemské invaze a otevření bran pekelných.
