Summary: Can we say biased???
Review: I enjoyed the first book and was surprised to see me in the next two (no, I'd never run the games with him). Definately a cousin of X-Files and MIB and would be a great movie. If you like his stuff, you should look for more under his other aliases: Nick Smith and Jack Hopkins (there are more, but even I can't keep track of them all )

Summary: Personal favorite of mine
Review: I'm a huge fan of gaming novels and this one series is at the top of my favorites list. If you ever wanted to read a novel of a great gaming session this series has that in spades. I, too, find this one even better than the first book (though the still out of print third book "Full Moonster" is my all time favorite). If you've read the Crimson Skies novels or the Dragonlance Chronicles than you know what I'm talking about. That sense of action and adventure you ususally only get by playing the damn game yourself. Do yourself a favor and sit down and enjoy this fun read.

Summary: Meet the co-workers of the Men In Black
Review: If it hadn't been written before the movie, I would swear this book was a MIB ripoff....
A hilarious, well-written book, with a solid plot,
Doomsday Exam provides the best explanation I've ever seen for all of those tabloid articles.
If you are a science fiction fan, a mystery fan, an occult fan, or just an avid reader looking for a great book, you MUST read this one!

Summary: Unique blend of high-tech gizmos and mythological monsters
Review: Mr. Pollotta's writting shows a ready familiarity with
high-tech espionage/military tactics and equipment. His
rich story-backgrounds provide a feeling of a real (but
strange) world going on behind the front stage plotline. He takes old fantasy sterotypes and spins them in unexpected
directions. His knowledge of obscure mythology seems as deep
as his knowledge of cutting edge technology.
Pollotta's writing style is very refreshing. His characters
do not suffer from "protagonist invulnarabilty"--where the
main character can save the universe without breaking a sweat. Pollotta makes his characters EARN their victories.
When they snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, it is not
without receiving a few scars in the process. Pollotta's villains are vicious and, worse yet, smart. No melodramatic
revalation of master plans here! Pollotta's main characters
are forced to fight for every inch. This quality is rare
(nearly unique) in fantasy fiction. It shows a great deal
of tallent and effort by the writer. Hunt this book down and
BUY IT! It will be worth your effort.

Summary: The most fun book I have ever read
Review: 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.

Summary: Even better than the first book!
Review: Studying to become one of America's defenses against the paranormal, federal agents at the Bureau 13 Academy are thrown into the real world when a mysterious enemy lets loose every monster the Bureau ever had captured. And that was only to cover up the real crime...

Summary: A passing grade
Review: The second of Nick Pollotta's three books adapted from the game "Stalking The Night Fantastic" follows the formula laid down by the first. Ed Alvarez and his heavily armed team continue to fight evil with everything from wooden bullets to nuclear devices; and there are plenty of clever tactics to keep things fresh. The book is little more than a running battle, however, and the potentially very interesting Bad Guy is never developed, becoming nothing more than ultra-powerful magical equivalent of a James Bond villain. Mr. Pollotta's writing still sparkles and the jokes fly as fast as the ammunition, although there are plenty of blanks, misfires and shots wholly off target, but again it all reads like a gaming session. Everything is linear and from the point of view of the team (narrated as it is by Alvarez). The potential for really biting satire is never fully explored and there is a constant feeling that something truly exceptional is tantalisingly close, but when the dust settles you still come away happy. This is very much a rollercoaster novel: uneven, very brief and not entirely satisfying, but exhilarating and worth the cost of admission. Great literature it is not, great entertainment it is.

Summary: SF/Horror/Humor/Military/Adventure, with a solid mystery.
Review: The second of the 'Bureau13' trilogy, all of which will be reprinted this April. If you liked MEN IN BLACK, I think you really like my series. Its the X-FILES with big gun, and monsters as agents. Also see: 'Jack Hopkins'

Summary: Awesome
Review: This is one of best books I have ever read. The book had me rolling on the ground laughing while enjoining the realistic combat. I hope I can get a hold of some of his other books. If you can find this book BUY IT
