Format:Mass Market Paperback
Sydney is thrilled to be asked to the annual summer camp that the CIA holds for its rookie agents. She'll spend time with fellow trainees sharpening skills and getting a crash course in French. Along the way, her new handler at SD-6, Sloan, asks her to complete a simple retrieval mission. It should be a fun time, especially since she won't have to lie to anyone there. They are all agents, so she won't have to pretend she's only a student.
Her roommate, Stephanie, seems like a perfect fit, and the two hit it off right away. But when an accident happens, Sydney begins to suspect things are not what they appear. Now this mini-vacation may turn out to be her last.
This is another fun prequel novel for Alias. While not as intense as the last one was, it was still entertaining and held my interest quite well. I especially loved the Niagara Falls setting since I had been there and could picture most of what was going on. These novels are developing quite a story on their own, and this one does a good job of giving you the back story quickly and then moving into the new material. This book is also notable because it marks the first appearance of Emily Sloan.
While non-fans will probably not be impressed, fans of the series will continue to enjoy these stories before the real story began.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
An amazing book and dispite what other people say any non alias fan could really get into it! when sydney is asked to go to a summer camp by her handler, Arvin Sloan, sydneys reaction is quite strong as if to say "a summer camp for agents, do i really need that?!" but what seemed like a friendly group of people turns into mission for her and her new friend, stephanie. using combat and cool gadgets as well as other slightly odd weapons, will they complete the mission?
Stephanie is a sweet girl but hides alot of secrets about another agent in the camp. sydney and stephanie have alot in common and in the little time they are there become the closest of friends.
a gripping novel and highly recommend to any one who likes adventure/romance! i may only be 13 but i managed to get through; Close quaters, Father figure and free fall in about two days. the only dissadvantage of these books is you read them so fast you get to the next book and it isnt even published yet! trust me on one thing after reading anyone of the alias series YOU ARE HOOKED FOR LIFE!!! (they should contain a warning!)

Alias Free Fall
28 Oct 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Genre:Mystery/Action
Three sentance summary: The book is basically about a FBI agent who is on a mission to find some sectet documents about a man that was killed by Russian Intelligence. She later on discovers that one of the agents she is meeting is a trator to the American FBI. At the end she busts the traitor and gets the secret document.
What I liked most about the book: I liked that the book was interesting and had lots of action. The writer also kept you wondering what was going to happen next in the story.
What I didn't like about the book: I liked the whole book. Ther was never a dull moment in the whole thing. It was great.
My favorite character and why: Sydney- the FBI agent,because she was the main character and she also did a lot of cool stunts and beat the badguy in the end.
The scene, line, or passage that meant something to me and why: I look forward to continuing my work in Chicago and hope to see you soon when you are in town.pg,177. I think that this is important to the story because I am thinking that Sydney will end up meeting her for some reason in the other books.
What I would say about this book to someone else: I would have to say if you are looking for a good action/mystery book this is a good book to read.
One question I have after reading this book: I would want to know if they have a series or if the writer only made one. And if they have a series where could I purchase them.
My strongest reason for recommending this book: It is a wonderful book just like the t.v. show. It is fun, has lots of action, and I can guarantee that you will love this book.

Sydney Goes to Summer Camp
2 July 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Sydney ironically seems to have a real talent for ferreting out agents unloyal to SD-6. This was an entertaining read for die-hard fans of the TV series like myself, but would probably not hold the attention of a reader unfamiliar with the show.
