Aaaaaaand
we’re back to Owen Z Pitt, sigh. I’d really prefer somebody else
be the main character, but I know that isn’t the case for the
series over all and so I just need to accept it. But I won’t,
because that’s how I roll.
I sure have forgotten a LOT of this story in the last 12-13 years. I vaguely remembered it taking place in Las Vegas, Special Task Force Unicorn manipulating everyone and the dragon. This time around, the references that are made about Project Nemesis make total sense instead of being a big fat mystery like on my original read. I actually found knowing to make for a more enriching read. Which is yet another reason why RE-READING is so important!
Thankfully, there is enough gun toting action to keep any MHI fan happy. And we get real good look at STFU and just how despicable they are. They make for a wonderful bad guy/s and are just despicable enough that they make even the Government MCB (Monster Control Bureau) people look like angels. It’s awesome!
I just had fun reading this, even with “Z” being front and center. We also get a good look at other Monster Hunter companies and how they operate and under what parameters. We’ve only seen monster hunting through the lens of MHI and it’s good to reminded that while they are considered some of the best, they are not the only game in town. It helps us as readers not to get tunnel vision.
If you like big guns, good good guys and evil evil monsters, then this is the series for you. I recommend it without hesitation with those caveats.

From MHI.Fandom.com
When hunters from around the world gather in Las Vegas for a conference, a creature left over from a World War Two weapons experiment wakes up and goes on a rampage across the desert. A not-so-friendly wager between the rival companies turns into a race to see who can bag the mysterious creature first.
Only there is far more to this particular case than meets the eye, and as Hunters fall prey to their worst nightmares, Owen Zastava Pitt and the staff of Monster Hunter International have to stop an ancient god from turning Sin City into a literal hell on earth.
When the International Conference of Monster Hunting Professionals is targeted by a nightmare demon, MHI and the other hunters at the ICMHP conference must work together to protect the innocents trapped in the Last Dragon Casino while Owen Pitt takes on the Nachtmar.
