Great for Alias Addicts,
By
This review is from: Father Figure (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a great look at Sydney's life and missions before the start of the TV series. Great fun for die-hard fans like me, but would probably not be of interest to those not familiar with the show.

great book for alias fans,
By A Customer
This review is from: Father Figure (Mass Market Paperback)
yes great book for alias fans. I helps to get to know sydney and francie better and learn more about their lives before the series began. although my favourite book was a secret life this was the second best. It might not be as appealing to non-alias fans but still would be worthwhile reading. It is directed towards young adults and this makes for an easy read but I found it to be a nice change from the books I normally read, (Stephen King etc.)Let us all convert to the bartering system!money causes problems!

Running on All Cylinders,

This review is from: Father Figure (Mass Market Paperback)
Sydney Bristow's life is packed to the brim. Not only is she trying to catch up on home work from her mission to Hawaii, but she's also trying to find time for a social life. Not that's she'd doing to well with it since both Francie and Burke are mad at her. In fact, Francie seems to have moved on with other friends, which is making Sydney jealous. Meanwhile, she's off on another mission, this time in LA. She's the new intern at SpaceSoft, trying to determine if they are working on a new missile guidance system and who the client is. And if that weren't enough, her father is in town between trips, and demanding Sydney's time. Unbeknownst to her, he has a secret agenda all his own. Just when things couldn't get any worse, she begins to suspect her handler and recruiter is hiding something big. Is she right? If so, what is it?This prequel novel best captured the early days of the show. There are several different plots and sub-plots working their way through the story, with never a dull moment. Keeping the action in LA allows more things to be developed then we have been getting in these novels. Yet everything is juggled well, with the story divided between family, work, and friends. If only Sydney could juggle her real life as easily. The book is also filled with irony on several different levels because we know what is really going on behind the scenes and how Sydney's life will change in just a few years. I especially enjoyed getting a chance to watch Sydney and Jack interact before Sydney knows his secrets. His actions make perfect sense to us, even if they don't to his daughter. The ending packs quite a wallop, and I loved it. For anyone who's been enjoying these prequels, this one is a must. Fans of the TV series will enjoy it as well for a glimpse at Sydney before the show began. While people not familiar with the show may enjoy it as well, they will miss much of what I enjoyed about the book.
