Bureau 13 #3

by Nick Pollotta

'Bureau 13' is the ultra-covert branch of the FBI assigned to handle supernatural criminals. The public doesn't know they exist, the President denies any knowledge of their actions, and not every Bureau 13 operative is a human being. Yet these wise-cracking, heavily-armed, federal agents are America's first, last and only line of defense against the growing tide of monstrous evil.

[Anne · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked the world its set in and the team dynamic, though I was a little lost because I'm not that familiar with 90's references as well as artillery types ( like magnums and LAWS etc.) so beyond that I really enjoyed it! I also bought this from a thrift store so I didn't realize it was book 3 of a series, so I might try and read the other ones.

Another over-the-top silly fantasy/SF adventure as our team of crack Bureau 13 agents battle the forces of eeevilll! It's not as good as the first two, although as listed as the second volume, it's actually the third, it's funny. I miss Nick, I knew him, and he was a good guy and a hard-working pulp writer in age that wasn't kind to pulp writers.

I read this book shortly after it was published. As a preteen, it inspired me to want to be a writer. This story has so much going for it. This is an adventure that has plenty of twists and action for readers that enjoy pulp fiction. I was thoroughly amused and entertained by the story, and it had me wanting more. I love Nick Pollotta's style and recommend it to anybody who wants to read something exciting and memorable.

Ultrasilly fun

Ultrasilly fun

Reading Bureau 13 books is like reading the script to a gonzo Syfy channel movie where half of the writers are high and the other half are arguing if you could combine a Death and a Resurrection spell in D&D to create Schroedinger's conundrum with a soul. It's poolside summer reading full of silliness and crazy antics. Enjoy!

We see another adventure full of humor and magic. The pacing seems familiar but it is still a fun trip.

A silly fun series that I have read many times since picking them up. My copies of the Ace editions of the series are actually falling apart at this point, with pages falling out.

I'll never look at a getaway story the same again.
