The Earth will probably be destroyed if you do not read this zany Sci Fi novel. Seriously, it is one of two warnings from the "Official Manual for the Lawful Resurrection of Human Beings". (The other warning is not to operate heavy machinery while being resurrected.) In the future, people are re-born every so often to keep them physically young. The problem is that their minds age. Our hero is employed to rejuvenate their minds. But bad things happen when he electronically subtracts their sins. This evil finds a home. However, our hero gets help from a woman who looks like Snow White, an unstable genius, and a man who can't decide if he is Ensign Sulu, or a clock.

This review is from: The Bureau Of Resurrection (Paperback)
I don't read a lot of sci-fi, and that's probably why it took me about 50 pages to really get into sync with the storyline. Then I was caught in it's grip, and I read through "The Bureau of Resurrection" in just a few sittings. The author has a rather wild imagination - he must have spent some quality daydreaming time - and he's not afraid to throw out some extraneous zingers. But, in retrospect I can see that most of the zaniness went into forming an image of how silly yet life-enriching are many of the things we do and say. The story and challenges to the main characters give thought-provoking insight into many of the basic questions of life and happiness. I'm not sure how this book fits into the sci-fi genre, but I know I have a better appreciation of life and the people around me. You'll enjoy reading "The Bureau of Resurrection," and you won't end up hating the government, your children, or hot bubbling cheese.
