Alias: The APO Series #12
Mind Games
Agents Sydney Bristow and Marcus Dixon are hot on the trail of a drug lord who has created a mind-control drug so potent that in the wrong hands it could be one of the world's most dangerous bioweapons. Determined to halt production of the substance, the agents go undercover as dealers. Their approach proves to be successful when the drug lord invites them to his estate -- the perfect chance for Sydney to snoop around and find the location of the main lab.
But things don't go quite as planned. A government agency interferes with APO's mission; Sydney is forced to ingest a dose of the drug and commanded to turn on her APO counterparts; Dixon is taken hostage; and someone believed to be an ally turns out to be more foe than friend....

About the author

113 books98 followersPaul Ruditis also writes under the name P.J. Ruditis.
I was born and raised in Philadelphia where I lived a typical childhood with a far more interesting fantasy life. I mean, how many other eight year olds were sticking their Star Wars action figures in Ziploc bags filled with water and putting them in the freezer to recreate the ice planet of Hoth? (Really? That many? Never mind.)
After college, I moved to Los Angeles and was very lucky to get a job as a page at Paramount Pictures only months after I got into town. I worked as a tour guide and usher, and I performed temp office work around the lot.
Eventually, I took a position working in the studio's licensing department where I quickly worked my way up to middle management.
After a while, one of my friends in the publishing industry offered me the opportunity to write a Buffy, The Vampire Slayer short story for a collection she was editing. Well, when I heard how little money I could make as a writer, I immediately quit my job to try it full time. (Stupid, I know, but it kind of worked for me.)
I started out by writing books based on such wonderful TV shows as Star Trek, Roswell, and Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. I have since written over 30 books based some of the best shows on TV, adding The West Wing, Alias, and Prison Break to that ever growing list.
While I continue to work on these media tie-ins, I have also been focused more on my own original fiction, including my teen series DRAMA! and the Simon Pulse Romantic Comedy Love, Hollywood Style.

Plot wise, and because the character voices are all off, It's really only worthy of 2 stars. But I gave it an extra star for three reasons.
1) Weiss is the main POV and heads up the op.
2) Weiss sasses Sloane on the comms in front of everyone, in the middle of a mission. It was beautiful to witness.
3) The book brought up something the show never did and I realized it's weird that it never came up: Sydney never met Vaughn's mother. Like, it's mentioned in s01 that Vaughn spent Thanksgiving with his mom, but in 2×07, when Vaughn is dying and is rushed to the hospital, Alice is listed as his emergency contact and not his mother. In the book, his mother is still alive and there was just never a convenient time for Sydney to meet her, but I wonder if maybe, in the heads of the show writers at least, she died somewhere during early s2 or while Sydney was missing for 2 years. Seriously, this question will haunt me for the rest of my life now.

Nothing will ever compare to the show, but it makes me feel better to be able to have a new ALIAS adventure. I am sad there is only one more novel left for me to read :-(.
