''Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable [[Warmup Boss|boss]] out of a fourteenth story window, he woke up in the hospital with a [[Good Scars, Evil Scars|scarred]] face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer.''
Line 13 ⟶ 14:
''Welcome to '''Monster Hunter International'''.''
MHI is a contemporary fantasy/horror/
MHI was originally self-published in 2008, but high sales through word-of-mouth advertising, especially on gun-related forums, attracted the attention of [[Baen Books]], which picked up the series.
Line 57 ⟶ 58:
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: The orcs wear mostly black, have warty green-grey skin, yellow eyes and tusks but are definitely good guys
* [[Dragon with an Agenda]]: {{spoiler|Koriniha, priestess to the Old Ones.}}
* [[Enlistment-Ending Minor Malaise]]: Owen was raised to be a perfect soldier by his decorated veteran father {{spoiler|who knew from his ow encounters with the supernatural that one of his sons was doomed to be central to the battle against [[Eldritch Abomination|the great old ones]]}}. When it came time to enlist, Owen was rejected for childhood asthma (which he no longer has) and flatfoot. Effectively free of his father's [[Training From Hell|harsh training]], Owen decides to become an accountant to get as far as possible from soldiery, until an encounter with his serial killer werewolf boss thrusts him into the world of professional monster hunting. Aside from being a poor runner, which is as much attributable to his massive size and heavy gear as it is his flatfoot, these health problems cause Owen little trouble.
* [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]]: Pretty much every monster myth known is true. Most can be killed with sufficient application of [[More Dakka|dakka]], [[Stuff Blowing Up|explosives]], [[Kill It with Fire|fire]], or combinations of the above.
* [[Friendly Sniper]]: Being team sharpshooter, and an all-around nice girl, Julie is this.
