Summary
Dirty Harry meets Twilight. Number 3 in the break-out series and a follow-up to Monster Hunter International and Monster Hunter Vendetta.
Earl Harbinger may be the leader of Monster Hunter International, but he's also got a secret. Nearly a century ago, Earl was cursed to be a werewolf. When Earl receives word that one of his oldest foes, a legendarily vicious werewolf that worked for the KGB, has mysteriously appeared in the remote woods of Michigan, he decides to take care of some unfinished business. But another force is working to bring about the creation of a whole new species of werewolf. When darkness falls, the final hunt begins, and the only thing standing in their way is a handful of locals, a lot of firepower, and Earl Harbinger's stubborn refusal to roll over and play dead.

The weakest of the series, but needed in the story
I feel that this book is the weakest in the series so far, and to stretch into a whole book something that could have been a short story, and rather like other series (like the Dresden Files or Iron Druid) that have a book of side stories, it could have been a compendium - this story just felt dragged out, and overly long, covering things that just didn't need to be there
This is a complete departure from the formula that made the first 2 books so enjoyable, with only one member of MHI, although the oldest & strongest, and being used to introduce new members of the company & upcoming important cast
Certain parts of the story were rather obvious, and telegraphed chapters before they happened, but without Oliver Wyman's reading this would have been nowhere near as enjoyable
If this wasn't "required reading" for the next book, I'd suggest skipping this one, but you need to know several things that happen in this story, several characters, and what happens along the way, or parts of the following book kind of makes no sense

The worlds longest supplementary short story
Well, it’s very different to the first two books. It’s not quite as fun, it’s much more about character development and so it feels a lot more serious. Almost none of the characters from previous books show up. No new fun and interesting races like awks or gnomes or trolls. This feels like it is setting up plot points that might become relevant later but for the time being it’s just a side quest. Fours across the board. The reader is fantastic as always, but loses at least one mark for the Finnish accents that sounds straight out of Kingston town. You could probably skip this book and not miss too much from the overall series, it’s a pretty good book so probably don’t skip it but you could.

Weird off putting accent..........
If you could sum up Monster Hunter Alpha in three words, what would they be?
Really good but get 1 and 2 first. Only problem was the reader cant do a russian accent and it kept reminding me of Christopher Walken, well a bad "saturday night live" impersonation

Best so far!
More than exceeded my expectations. I can only hope that there will be another novel where Earl is the lead character. Wow!

BRILLIANT
Yet another "Monster Hunter" great by Larry Correia with brilliant narration by Oliver Wyman. Best if you've heard the previous books but not essential.

Slow starter but a strong finish
If you enjoyed the other books then you will enjoy this one. Earl is a great character that really grows on you as the story progresses. I found it a little slow at the start but as the story progressed I found I was hooked and enjoyed the pace which finished strongly.
