Summary: Tunafish forever!
Review: Big guns and big magic. Ruthless, bizarre villains who do NOT tell the hero their secret plans, and who will happily shoot him in the back. Sexy telepaths, ninjas, characters die, and lots of laughs. This book is as funny as it is exciting.
Plus, the main character is Latino. Nearly every book I read has just another white guy saving the world. Maybe with a black sidekick, or a Latino gal pal, but they're just along to get kidnapped (so the hero can rescue them), or carry the extra ammo. But not in THIS book. Ed Alvarez kick's supernatural butt all the way through, and leads his team to victory because he's smart AND the toughest SOB on the planet. All hail Team Tunafish!
Why hasn't this great book been made into a movie yet?

Review: Hilarious. It has that perfect mix of fantasy, military factuality, and humor. Bureau 13 where you discover that the myths aren't and the monsters might be on your side.

Summary: Bureau 13 combines outrageous Sci-Fi with nonstop humor
Review: I have read and re-read this book so many times that it is literally in tatters. I need a new copy, that's how good this book is! Truly an unsung classic, which leaves you salivating for more...Nick Pollotta does indeed give us more, with the books "Full Moonster", and "Alien Academy", both fantastic and worthy sequels, which follow storylines brilliantly! I had the DISTINCT PLEASURE of corresponding with the author himself, and I learned that Tri-Tac Books will be re-releasing the trilogy in March of 2000 if all goes well, but until then, I will continue my hunt for an original print copy! DON'T MISS THIS BOOK! ! !

Summary: More Please!
Review: I just discovered the Bureau 13 novels (there are only three of them) and they're fantastic! Laughed until my ribs hurt all the way through. Plus the heroes really have to pay for their victories, they get wounded and major characters die. But more importantly, the characters are a real team, each member gets their time to shine, and while each is a tough hombre, when working together as unit are they truly strong. Never seen that before in any novel and I loved it! I found my copies in a used book store and was hoping to find new copies online. But no such luck. Hey, Mr. Pollotta, get back to work and write more of these right now!

Summary: The first great book I read
Review: I picked this book up one summer vacation for some light reading. I found it to be the absolute best sci-fi/fantasy book I have ever had the pleasure of reading. If you are out there Nick, I'm still waiting for a 4th installment.

Summary: Not for me!
Review: I want to begin by saying that my 15-year-old son found this book hilarious, so at least it was not a waste of money. I was so bored by the first chapter that I was unable to continue reading it.

Review: If you are a gamer you will REALLY enjoy this book. Nick Pollotta writes in the first person of the ex-FBI agent and while this can be a problem for the other characters you would never know it. The book is a breakneck race for Bureau 13 to save the world and you are with them every step of the way. It's a hard book to put down so expect to lose some sleep. It's not a big book and if your like me you can fly right through it. Don't do it, slow down and read it slow, it's well worth the time. Lots of nice quick comments that make you think. Sean
