Resist or Serve is a fantastic book for X-File fans and I definitely recommend it if you're a bit of an addict. The book goes into great detail about each episode of season 5, and is like having the scripts for all the episodes in one volume. It's great for reference, especially if you're trying to follow the mythology. The book also has cool background notes about things that happened during filming, which is actually quite amusing, and loads of pictures and photographs (coloured ones in the central pages). To top it off, you also get to find out what happened on the last day of filming in Vancouver before they moved to LA.
This book sort of follows on from The Truth is Out There (seasons 1 and 2), Trust No One (season 3) and I Want To Believe (season 4), but it works well as a stand-alone if season 5 is what you are interested in. Saying that, however, Resist or Serve does contain a summary of all the episodes in seasons 1-4.

This book gives great summaries of each episode, with a lot of other goodies after each one. Season 6 was a must see, and this book is a must have.

I buy these books to learn the behind the scenes back stories of each episode. unfortunately this official season guide gave extremely long synopses and very little fluff backstory! the backstories were more about bit part actors rather than the behind the scenes of the storyline! who cares! if you to 'relive' the episodes with a legthy synopsis read the transcript for free over the internet instead!

The Book was awesome
This was simply the best Episode guide to date. I am an X-Phile and I really enjoyed how every line of dialogue was written out in full unlike the 2 by Brian Lowry. Read more

Good book (but not enough?)
Although it is an excellent book for all x-files fans, you can't help feeling that it is a bit overpriced considering it is mostly synopses of the episodes, which you don't really... Read more
