Warehouse 13: A Touch Of Fever (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Overall I enjoyed this Warehouse 13 adventure. The cast is kept in character (I thought Pete was rendered especially well) and it has the typical dual plotline of a regular episode. However. The pacing was a slog, and with all the artifacts running around, there could have been a lot more done with them. (Erzebet Bathory's bloody bathtub and a piranha-toothed shrunken head, and all they do is set another artifact loose? The shrunken head was scarier.) 'Warehouse 13: A Touch of Fever' is, I think, an excellent first tie-in endeavor. It's just as fun as the TV show, if not more so, because while the show may be limited by budget or length, the book can go just about any place the author can imagine. And Greg Cox has certainly gone just about everywhere you can go with a show like this...meaning there are plenty of cool artifacts and locations in this book. Also, the characters are well written, the dialogue sounds like it has come straight from the show, and we get to see a little more of Univille, which is nice. The one thing fans might be picky about would be continuity. The book contains references from most (if not all) of seasons one and two, but Myka is around. (And if you've watched the show, you'll understand why that's a tad confusing.) Aside from that, the book is great. If you're a fan of Warehouse 13, I highly recommend 'A Touch of Fever.'
