Concluded: A Bureau Story

The Bureau, Book 13

By: Kim Fielding

Narrated by: Joel Leslie

For better or for worse, every person makes a difference.

Achilles Spanos has had enough of the Bureau of Trans-Species Affairs. After being mauled by a bear shifter and barely surviving, convinced that nothing he does makes a difference, Achilles is ready to hand in his badge and gun. But with no clue about what to do with the rest of his life, he agrees to take on one more assignment: speaking with a mysterious man who can make wishes come true.

Due to a cadre of corrupt powerful men, the world grows bleaker by the day, and the Bureau chief hopes that the wish-granter, Dee Martell, can help tip the balance back toward good. The opposing forces, however, are doing everything in their power to have him tip the balance in their favor instead.

The problem is, even Dee doesn’t understand his talent—or have any conviction what he wants to do with it. After living his life as a loner, Dee is now caught up in a deadly tug-of-war… with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.

Thrown together against their will, Achilles and Dee face impossible odds. But they learn they also have powerful allies. As they struggle to distinguish monsters from heroes, they discover that hope is a mighty weapon and that even the smallest effort matters.

Good series but

This was a huge disappointment. The series itself has been great, but bringing politics into the final book really ruined it for me. I read and listen to audiobooks as a way to escape the constant political noise in the world, not to be reminded of it again. It felt unnecessary and took away from what made the series enjoyable in the first place. I'm not sure what the author hoped to accomplish by adding it, other than following the same trend many others seem to be jumping on.

Great conclusion!

Thoroughly enjoyed the wind-up to this series. Although it felt a little different to the other titles in its format, we got another “non-human”, appearances from old characters an action packed story and engaging characters.
Well done Ms Fielding!

Joel's Leslie's performance was brilliant (as always) bring all the characters to life.
