The eighties in New Orleans? Hell on Earth! The real monster party is only in New Orleans.
What's better than a series about Monster Hunters from a bestselling author like Larry Correia? A spin-off of the same series set in the eighties, where bullets fly freely and political correctness is almost unheard of. Especially when Correia teams up with the equally successful John Ringo to write it!
Former marine, later a temporary corpse, and now monster hunter Chad finds himself in New Orleans this time, thanks to fate (or rather, wandering hands and elves who are too young with angry relatives). Here, the local Hoodoo squad has to hunt more monsters in a single day than other cities see in a month. Especially when there’s a full moon…
The city looks different from any other hunting ground – and the hunters themselves fall victim to exhaustion and mistakes faster than new recruits can arrive. John Ringo has taken Correia's world and added his own dose of action, humour, and great music to the already adrenaline-fuelled stories. Just like in the previous instalment, Grunge, both the hunters and the reader have little time to rest, as one action scene follows another and monsters only take a lunch break if you're on the menu. From werewolves and vampires to magic crocodiles and giant poisonous frogs – New Orleans has it all. And it knows how to cook a great dinner from it, provided someone manages to kill it in time. And through it all walks Chad with his trusty Mournful Sword and an unprecedented amount of freedom.
In a city flooded with monsters and hoodoo, not even government oversight can cover up all the tracks, and every local knows when to start running. Get ready for a concert cranked up to the max: hordes of enemies, nerves stretched to breaking point, truly heavy-calibre weapons, and somewhere in the shadows, the evil responsible for it all… in the one place on earth where a hunter can sometimes be a public hero. Because in New Orleans, they do things differently.
