To be clear I have never seen the series Alias, nor have I ever read anything related to the books either. I read this book strictly out of curiosity and being another work by Sean Gerace. For what it's worth the story read just as I visualized a television show of its reputation, all circumstances being more than a bit unbelievable with an extra serving of cheesiness. I'm not knocking the genre, it's just not for me. However, I did enjoy the fast-paced read and was glad to see an additional work by Gerace. I wait in anticipation for Gerace to produce a work more aligned to his genre such as 'Special'. My 3 stars do not reflect the authorship but instead for the content. Sean Gerace's writing is north of 4 stars with 5-star potential. And I'm sure he will achieve all that and more as he reveals more of his work.

One of the easiest read from the series

Another interesting mission with Sydney. Part of me doesn't trust Noah but we shall see.

A nice compliment to the Alias TV Series

I've read better fan fiction! Although it was semi-interesting to read about when Sydney was first starting out at SD-6, the main reason I enjoy Sydney is her ability to kick ass. However, in this book, she kept screaming for Noah to help her and even I saw the inevitable "twist" that Sydney was too trusting to figure out. *eyerolls*

And why do they keep calling Marshall, Graham?? BOO.

Ah well. At least it was a super quick read.

Not the best in the series - but good enough to satisfy my ALIAS "craving." It is obvious that the author knows the show well. My biggest complaint (and this goes for the whole series) is that they call Marshall "Graham."

The 10th book in the Alias Prequel series. Fun, fast-paced, and enjoyable.

Another quick good read that gives you insight into Sydney Bristow's background.
