Sorry you didn't like the Monster Hunter books more, I'm a big fan of those.

I don't think I mentioned it at the time, but another good urban fantasy series (also military based, but quite a bit different from MHI) is the Joe Ledger series by Jonathan Maberry, which began in '09 with Patient Zero. Up to 6 novels now, and it's really good stuff. It's much more akin to horror and it's almost like the game of thrones in that anybody in the cast can drop at any point (excluding, obviously, Joe Ledger himself...).

Really enjoy the Audible versions, Ray Porter does a great job with them. Good enough that I dropped everything else I was listening to a couple of weeks ago when I realized the newest one had just been released.

Maberry covers a wide variety of stuff, from genetic engineering (including bioengineered zombies) to vampires to aliens. And he somehow makes it all...well, believable is the wrong word, but it all works.
