Publisher's Synopsis
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>REVENGE IS A MOTHER</b></font><br><br><font face="Arial" size="2">When Owen Pitt and the rest of the Monster Hunter International crew are called away to mount a months-long rescue mission in a monster-infested nightmare dimension, Julie Shackleford—Owen’s wife and descendant of MHI founder Bubba Shackleford—is left behind. Her task: hold down the fort and take care of her new baby son, Ray.</font><br><br><font face="Arial" size="2">But then a routine field call brings her face-to-face with an unspeakable evil calling itself Brother Death. Julie is the Guardian of a powerful ancient artifact known as the Kamaresh Yar, and Brother Death longs for it. In the wrong hands, it could destroy reality as we know it. Julie would die before giving it up. Then little Ray goes missing, taken by Brother Death. The price for his safe return? The Kamaresh Yar.</font><br><br><font face="Arial" size="2">To reclaim her son, Julie Shackleford must fight her way through necromantic death cults, child-stealing monsters, and worse. And she’ll have to do it all before Brother Death can unleash the Kamaresh Yar. It may be one woman against an army of monsters, but Julie Shackleford is no ordinary woman—she’s maybe the toughest mother on the planet! </font><br><br><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>About <i>Monster Hunter Guardian:</i></b></font><br><br><font face="Arial" size="2">“Once you open the cover, be prepared for an evening to disappear like a werewolf with a portal ring.”—<i>New York Journal of Books</i></font><br><br><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>About Larry Correia and the Monster Hunter International series:</b></font><br><br><font face="Arial" size="2">“[E]verything I like in fantasy: intense action scenes, evil in horrifying array, good struggling against the darkness, and most of all people—gorgeously flawed human beings faced with horrible moral choices that force them to question and change and grow.” —Jim Butcher</font><br><br><font face="Arial" size="2">“[A] no-holds-barred all-out page turner that is part science fiction, part horror, and an absolute blast to read.” —<i>Bookreporter.com</i></font><br><br><font face="Arial" size="2">“If you love monsters and action, you’ll love this book.
