Product Description
Keeping tabs on Marianna, the daughter of Italy’s president, isn’t the type of assignment Michael Vaughn was expecting. He’s a newly minted CIA officer—not a babysitter.
Never mind that there’s a plot to assassinate Marianna’s father. Or that she’s incredibly beautiful. Or that ditching her security detail makes her laugh.
Political assassins are no laughing matter.
And neither are gorgeous girls undercover.

Good read for all "Alias" fans,
By Lauren (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Close Quarters: A Michael Vaughn Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
As a fan of the show, I found myself addicted to all of the prequel novels, but I especially enjoyed reading about Vaughn and learning about his past. This, like all the prequel novels, is far less elaborate than the show but I found myself enjoying it nonetheless. There are a few interesting tie-ins with Sydney Bristow to keep you wanting more. Overall, this is an interesting one to read with a good plot.

Vaughn is the Best!,
By butterfly (wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Close Quarters: A Michael Vaughn Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
However, that being said, i have thoroughly enjoyed all of the books i have read so far. i think i enjoyed this one the best because while Vaughn tries to uncover who wants the Italian president dead (when he's really only responsible for entertaining/babysitting the president's gorgeous and sassy adult daughter) his path actually crosses with someone we all love!Mystery novels normally follow a certain formula and the antagonist is supposed to be the person you least likely suspect. a good writer will make this surprise believable and as we look back see with excellent hindsight all the clues we missed. for me, this book followed the formula; however, when the antagonist was finally unveiled i wasn't all that surprised. the antagonist was understandable but it also kind of seemed like, "oh, this is the person no one will suspect so here!" and for that reason, i only give 4 stars. i love the tv series and have enjoyed reading the books because it allows me to see these characters develop from the young adults they were when first recruited, the maturity and experience they seem to be gaining as each mission is completed with ultimate success (amid their own human folly) and seeing how it relates to the characters that i wait to watch sunday night.

What a Read!,
By Paulette A. Johnson (Arlington, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Close Quarters: A Michael Vaughn Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
Michael Vaughn, what do we reall know about him? We know that he was Sidney's handler, and we know that he works for the CIA, but how much do we know about him as a person? This book really opens our eyes to the wonderful world of Vaughn. A few suprise twists really make the story. This book is an easy read and will be enjoyable to fans and non-fans alike. Happy reading!
