Bureau 13 is the ultra-covert branch of the FBI assigned to handle supernatural criminals.

When America is hit by the magical-equivalent of an H-bomb, every telepath in the nation drops dead and suddenly the Bureau is embroiled in a fierce war for survival. Ed Alvarez and his team of Green Berets and wizards hold nothing back as they struggle to save humanity from The Scion, an evil organization of powerful magic-users dedicated to nothing less than the complete destruction of the world. Hoo boy. Outgunned and outnumbered, the Bureau is forced to summon help from every other supernatural agency in the world and risk open warfare to stop America from becoming the other white meat...

This review is from: Bureau 13: Full Moonster (Paperback)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worked with the author, and recommend his works, July 19, 2003

This review is from: Bureau 13: Full Moonster (Paperback)

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.

This review is from: Bureau 13: Full Moonster (Paperback)

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.
