For well over a century, Monster Hunter International has kept the world safe from supernatural threats small and large—and in some cases very, very large. Now, join us as MHI opens their archives for the first time. From experienced Hunters on their toughest cases, to total newbies' initial encounters with the supernatural, The Monster Hunter Files reveals the secret history of the world's most elite monster fighting force. Featuring seventeen all new tales based on Larry Correia's bestselling series, from New York Times best-selling authors Jim Butcher, John Ringo, Jessica Day George, Jonathan Maberry, Faith Hunter, and many more.

Lieutenant Sam Bitka, U.S. Naval Reserve, is getting used to civilian life when he is called back to active duty. Tensions between Earth and the alien Varoki are on the rise, and Sam is assigned as tactical officer aboard the deep space destroyer USS Puebla. Dispatched to the distant world of K'tok to protect human colonists, he wants nothing more than to serve out his active duty time and get back to his civilian life. But when the Varoki launch a crippling surprise attack against the Earth coalition fleet, Sam must step up and rise to the challenge of command.

The all new anthology The Monster Hunter Files hits the street this month, and to celebrate, we’re giving away a copy, signed by coeditors Larry Correia and Bryan Thomas Schmidt. The Monster Hunter Files explores the world of MHI like never before, highlighting little-known aspects of the series. Which got us wondering, who is your favorite supporting character in the Monster Hunter series? Which monster hunter—or monster—in the background caught your attention?
