Book Description

Series: Bureau 13 | Publication Date: July 2001

PROTECTING AMERICA FROM EVERYTHING...Robot kidnappers, poltergeist weapon-smugglers, demon terrorists, gremlin moonshiners... '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 heavily-armed federal agents are America's first, last and only line of defense against the growing tide of monstrous evil. SILVER BULLETS ARE USELESS Hell is literally set loose on Earth during a massive jailbreak from the Bureau 13 Holding Facility. Among the horde of unkillable creatures is a madman with a plan to siphon off all of the magic in the world and become a god! Not good. Fighting every inch of the way to track the lethal escaped lunatic, Ed and his team of Green Berets and wizards grab some students from the Bureau Training Academy to replenish their weakened ranks. But the last to graduate is often the first to die.... "High adventure!" -Locus "Really funny," -SF Chronicle "Great!" -Dragon Magazine

Nick Pollota's Bureau 13 books are exciting, funny and just plain fun. If you want to spend a pleasurable few hours suspending your disbelief, this is the perfect book with which to do it. I vote it the award for book-that-should-be-a-movie.

Wow. These just keep getting better and better. I really didn't think Mr. Pollotta could top the first book, BUREAU 13, but he did it in this one. The big fight at the secret jail was funny and exciting (yes, I did recognize most of the monsters used), and the vampire football team was the most hilarious thing I ever read. And the terrible events at the motel had my heart pounding. For Fantasy humor novels, these have some really scary scenes in them. With things like BLADE and X-FILES on the big screen, why haven't these wonderful books been made into movies yet? Any chance there is a Bureau 13 fan club out there on the web?
