4.0 out of 5 stars Syd's First Case, 15 April 2003
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
It’s a pleasant spring day in Southern CA when Sydney's new beeper goes off. SD-6 needs her for her first assignment. Traveling to Paris, she's to go undercover as the wife of a newly wealthy man. Together, they'll be shopping for a wardrobe at one of Paris's best fashion houses, which they believe to have a connection to K-Directorate, a Russian crime ring. The job should be simple, find an excuse to explore the building and leave cameras and bugs behind. As an added bonus, Syd's partner is Noah Hicks, a very attractive agent she's already had the pleasure of meeting. Of course, things are much more difficult then they appear, and soon Sydney and Noah are in way over their heads. Can this rookie agent make it out alive?

Fans of Alias will love this prequel novel. Getting a look at Sydney in training is a completely different perspective on the character, yet it fits in line with the show. Meeting Noah and learn more about his history with Sydney is an added bonus. My main complaint is that this book seems a little too straight forward. I love the twists on the TV show and was hoping more of that would appear here.

This novel is a fast read that will keep the reader turning pages. While it will have limited appeal to non-fans, fans of the series will love getting a bit of the back story on their favorite spy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Secret Life (Alias S.), 30 Jan 2004
Sydney Bristow is given her first real mission as she enters fashion central- Paris! Still finding her feet in her new spy career, Sydney is self-concious and nervous, willing herself to do a good job and not let her country down. Meeting a strangely familiar fellow SD-6 agent there she undergoes her mission revealing the truth about the new fashion couture Monique Larousse. The book has a gripping story and explores Sydeys work, friendship and her budding love-life! My favourite of the first four Alias novels. Recommended to any1 with a sense of fantasy and a lust for action.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recruited, 18 April 2003
Sydney Bristow, just an ordinary girl, a shy college student. Think again.

Sydney is part of a covert branch of the CIA. Follow her on her first mission as she deals with danger, plots and most surprisingly her first crush.

Read to see how Sydney grows as a person and becomes a spy.
