Monster Hunter Legion

Newsflash, I still freaking adore this series and nobody can tell me I am wrong to do that. This book in specific, is possibly my favourite. Then again, I love all of them. But there is just something ridiculously hilarious about this one. I also love dragons.

In Las Vegas they organise the first international convention for monster hunters, so MHI needs to take part, right? Hunters work hard, party hard, earn big money they enjoy spending as well, the fight each other, because hey, they are all alpha as hell, which you need to go against unearthly powers. (Doesn't help that right next door someone has a huge gun trade show thing. Go figure.)
Then... monsters start popping up. Ones that have absolutely no place in Las Vegas. Why? How? What do we do now???

At this point we have so many cool characters and a convention is exactly the kind of place where they all can hang out and interact with each other.
Bonus points for more Mosh. He is a disaster and I love him.

Not much else to say about this, it's more like a monster-of-the-week thing with introducing a bigger context and setting things up. You could almost call it filler. BUT. It's the best kind, where you just fall in love with the characters even more than you did before. I needed it. The story needed it.
You would think we can't do much else interesting after the whole cosmic horror of book 2, but this is just different. After that stuff you hardly feel like characters can't handle this, it's still a lot of excitement and fun.

All in all, to me this is hall of fame, best stuff, highest shelf.
