      Trzeci policjant to najgłośniejsza powieść w dorobku O’Briena – gorzka, groteskowa i oniryczna, zawieszona pomiędzy przygodami Alicji w Krainie Czarów a thrillerem kryminalnym. To w niej objawia się postać szalonego naukowca de Selby’ego oraz sformułowana zostaje teoria atomowa dotycząca niebezpiecznych związków ludzi i rowerów. Pytania o to, czy Ziemia istotnie ma kształt kiełbasy, czym jest omnium oraz po co wynaleziono skrzynię wodną pozostają wciąż aktualne i nurtują kolejne pokolenia badaczy i komentatorów.
