Larry Correia has made a name for himself in the gun world by writing action-packed fantasy with extremely accurate descriptions of the weapons used by his characters.
I really enjoyed

. It was fast paced and the characters were interesting. I won't go into any further detail, but I give it the official Brick's Good Read Recommendation.
I picked up the second book,
Monster Hunter Vendetta![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uwDSnGELqMn-nMEjKxQowy-CZeBn7CMoP09Hx7zTpZc3ug8NTmK1KXA8bU1ldFWSFi47Dycl-Hn8E8u479NCq0zkuU_TTfX_t_HgKU7Aj5aK8zRggheGeV5WB6EkPv1zFKYmHHxIzLmaStSTsMeGTmtAd9ZHUWPgVjzWFmAF0b9A=s0-d)
, when it came out. I must confess that it was slightly disappointing. It was more of the same (good), but I have grown weary of stories that always involve saving the world (bad). MHI had the advantage of being novel. Since I was familiar with the characters, Vendetta had less to offer and was viewed with a more critical eye. It was not without it's moments - I laughed out loud at some of the jokes about the G-nomes (especially the one carrying the P22) and the troll. In these instances, Correia blends fantasy, guns, and the internet cultures very well.
I will probably pick up the next book, but I hope he can tell a story that isn't dependent on saving the universe.
