This is the second X-Files title that i've read, the first being "Antibodies". In "Ground Zero" the author demonstrates clear understanding/opinion into Mulder and Scully's relationship and their interdependance on one another. This is presented is a fairly stylised yet believable manner, with both characters existing as seeminlg intellignet entities, not merely as narrative devices, as in "Antibodies". So, if you're a fan of the relationship between Mulder and Scully, this title shouldn't dissapoint. The plot and characters themselves are not quite as compelling as those in "Antibodies", but the overall effect is one of a good, solid and genuinely ambitious storyline. This novel certainly does not have the gritty realism it could have, but makes for a nice few days' reading nonetheless. Recommended.
