The third book in the series, '''Monster Hunter Alpha''', picks up some time after Vendetta, with a change of protagonist. Earl Harbinger heads to a remote town in Michigan, to settle some old scores with one of his oldest foes, a vicious werewolf who served the KGB, and take him down for good. But there's another force waiting in the darkness, working to bring about a new breed of werewolves, and the only thing in their way are a handful of locals and a Determinator Earl Harbinger who won't die.

Line 65:
* [[Highly-Visible Ninja]] The {{spoiler|Catholic Church's Secret Guard}} are ''very'' good at stealth, even called ninja by observers, but really bad at disguise, still openly being {{spoiler|very religious with lots of crosses and Latin prayers}} even when they're supposed to be disguised as "normal" people.
* [[Intimidating Revenue Service]]: MHI facing an audit is considered only ''slightly'' less vicious than the monsters they deal with.
* [[Interrogation as Framing Device]]: Used in ''Nemesis''. {{spoiler|It's actually Heaven, not the US Government, interrogating Franks.}}
* [[Implacable Man]]: Captain Thrall is very durable.
* [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]]: Subversion with {{spoiler|Trip}}. He is twenty-seven. Holly likes to playfully needle him about this.
