Publisher Description
For fans of Jim Butcher and Kevin Hearne comes an action-packed new urban fantasy series featuring a tough, bleakly funny, down-on-his luck oil rig worker with an unlikely destiny as a monster-slayer and savior of the planet.
“Monsters,” said Vince Martinelli. “There are monsters on the rig, Dave.”
Dave Hooper has a hangover from hell, a horrible ex-wife, and the fangs of the IRS deep in his side. The last thing he needs is an explosion at work. A real explosion. On his off-shore oil rig.
But this is no accident, and despite the news reports, Dave knows that terrorists aren’t to blame. He knows because he killed one of the things responsible.
When he wakes up in a hospital bed guarded by Navy SEALs, he realizes this is more than just a bad acid trip. Yeah, Dave’s had a few. This trip is way weirder.
Killing a seven-foot-tall, tattooed demon has transformed the overweight, balding safety manager into something else entirely. A foul-mouthed, beer-loving monster slayer, and humanity’s least worthy Champion.
Customer Reviews
Nice read
Nice read nothing subtle. Wonderful action!
Dave vs The Monsters
Skip this series. A trilogy that just stops! No ending, just stops. At least one more book needed, possibly three. Just leaves everything hanging! Phoooy!
Very interesting lore, very boring hero
Enlightened Neanderthal Bigot fighting some of the more interesting and original monsters. The author does not come across as bigoted, but has for some reason has chosen a poorly constructed one as his protagonist and main foil. Sometimes you root for him, sometimes you despise him, most of the time you just really wish his was a less tedious cardboard cutout. I cannot recall a time I have admired an author’s talent and resented his choices in equal measure.
