Lunatic plot and crazy action sequences.

Mr. Pollotta writes fight scenes worthy of The Matrix--grand and chaotic. He uses a fair dose of humor, but never so much that the narrative turns goofy.
When you read the opening chapter, you will not think my description above applies. He starts each of his Bureau 13 books with a separate scene that sets up the plot, but is not part of it. In these opening chapters, he writes with a steady hand worthy of Stephen King or Tim Powers, proving that he doesn't write humorous stories because he is incapable of being serious. One day we will see a book from this man that transcends the fantasy-comedy sub-genre. Nevertheless, I hope the Bureau 13 stories keep coming, because they are immensely entertaining.

I have a vast library of books, including great classics...but it is THIS book that gets the most reading time. Its truly funny each and every time that I read it. The characters are well fleshed out and unique, the B13 world was masterfully used and the book is just a fantastic read, over and over. Highly recommended.

I have playtested and contributed to the upcoming Bureau 13 D20 System Handbook, also from Wildside Press. Mr. Pollotta has captured the essesnce of the Bureau 13 world with his humor and wit. I had to research for the writing and playtesting by reading all three of the Bureau 13 novels. I was visibly laughing while reading the books. I have roleplayed for 20 years and the books have only added to my own Bureau 13 campaign. Mr. Pollotta has added new things to the Bureau 13 canon, and has made it so that we fans await the fourth B13 novel eagerly.

Best in the series

This was the first one of the series that I read. I loved it so much that I dug up the other two books and the original RPG. Next thing I know, I ran the game every Sunday for years. All thanks to this book. If you're a fan of the Evil Dead series, Men in Black or Buffy; then you owe it to yourself to check out the start of it all. Read these books and you'll laugh, and wish they made this into a movie/tv show instead.

This is my favorite B13 novel, and I have waited years for it to finally get back into print. My old copy simply fell apart from all the rereading. (g)
So when is a NEW Bureau book coming out?
