Poor Frankie, he really reminded me of a hapless, abandoned, defenseless little kitty in this one That’s not exactly what I meant by “well-rounded,” but yeah, sure, whatever and stuff.Īnyhoo and stuff, in this instalment super serene and easygoing Agent Franks finds himself outrageously and most unacceptably framed by a bunch of evil scumbags (yay!), and forced to slaughter his way through them prove his innocence all by his lonesome.

It’s a whole different story when he has to go to work and hunt big, bad monsters, obviously: He (most reluctantly) leaves his yoga mat and scented candles at home, puts his Frankie’s Peace & Harmony Cottage YouTube channel on pause, and goes off to slightly butcher and slaughter anything and everything that dares move in his presence. Yeah, he’s a real zen, meditative kind of guy. (Minus the hairy bits, which are so not Franks’ style.)įranks enjoys pretty much anything that involves chilling out and relaxing, really. I mean, all you really need to know about him is what he likes to do in his spare time: You don’t really need the details, anyway. I’d tell you stuff about him but I can’t because major spoiler spoiler spoiler for those who haven’t read book 2 in the series, so I won’t. So the MC for this instalment is one of the secondary characters in the series, agent Franks of the super extra secret U.S. Particularly if that monster happens to be an undying killing machine capable of taking out vampires and werewolves with one hand tied behind his back. Now all bets are off, and Hell hath no fury like a monster betrayed. And the director is not content with making one. Project Nemesis: in a secret location, using sophisticated technology and advanced genetic engineering, the director of the very agency Franks works for is making more like him. Such is absolutely forbidden and should the powers-that-be do so, then the agreement is null and void. Sworn to serve and protect the United States of America from all monsters by one of the country’s founding fathers, Franks has only one condition to the agreement: no matter what the government learns of him, no matter what is discovered concerning his odd physiology or the alchemy behind the elixir that made him, the government is never, ever allowed to try and make more like him. Plus he’s animated by a powerful alchemical substance and inhabited by a super-intelligent spirit more ancient than humanity itself. Franks is nearly seven feet tall and all muscle. Monster Control Bureau is a man of many parts-parts from other people, that is. #5 in multiple New York Times bestseller Larry Correia's Monster Hunter series.Īgent Franks of the U.S.
