I’m halfway through Monster Hunter Memoirs: Sinners, and after this it’s eARC time. I probably should have waited another month to get back into this series, because I suspect that I’m not going to be inclined to wait until August for Monster Hunter Siege. Ach, well, this is how we learn.

There is a Agent Franks story in the anthology “Urban Allies” if you are inclined. Otherwise, head over to Larry’s Grimnoir books for a reread.
Yeah, I should revisit Grimnoir.
Have you found “Detroit Christmas” ?
.
It’s in a compilation, but also IIRC available as a freebie.

There are 2 audio book short stories from Grimnoir series (Murder on the Orient Elite and Tokyo Raider). Both of them in written form will go into the short story collection “Target Rich Environment) that’ll show up next year.
There’s a free short story about Bubba Shackleford in the Straight Out of Tombstone anthology, and it’s been put up as part of the sample at Baen:

I’ve thankfully got enough other stuff to read (I’m in The Expanse series right now) until August, so I *think* I can resist the eARC. This time.
Bought the eArc .. finished it last night.
.
The reviews .. are weird.
.
Too many people seem to expect Larry Correia’s character Owen to think like John Ringo’s character Chad .. doesn’t work that way.
.
(see also Franks’ thinking process in :Nemesis, Harbinger’s in :Alpha, and of course Bubba himself in the aforementioned short from Straight Outta Tombstone)
.
Owen’s pattern is .. different. I’m enough of a writer to see the differences when Larry’s writing Franks or Harbinger. Owen writes like a club, Franks like a sledgehammer, Harbinger like a claymore. (the sword, not the explosive)
.
So .. *know going in* what you’re getting .. this is very much an Owen story, in Owen’s voice .. and it manages to be satisfying in its’ own right, move the meta-plot forward, set up whatever comes next, and have a sense of humor.

I read the first six sample chapters. 🙂
If you want to venture out a bit further, there’s his Iron Kingdom stie in books the Malcontents. Thus far 2 books are out: Into the Storm (The Dirty Dozen in Iron Kingdoms) and Into the Wild (Malcontents in the Temple of Doom). There should be another Malcontent book soonish, but he has so many other thingie coming (the Anthology that will come later this year, Son of the Black Sword (subcontinent Indian epic fantasy)).
But Siege eArc is out now if you cannot wait.
Just finished Siege. Damn you International Lord of Hate, now I have to wait for many more months for Monster Hunter Guardian.
Ah, but “Saints” will be along eventually .. and so will the anthology .. so it’s not *all* bad.
