Once again, just love Alias. Don't know why, really, I just do. This book was interesting. Not my favorite so far but different. Most of the prequel books fit right in and explain things that an Alias fanatic might have questioned and wanted to know a little bit more about. This one shows a very immature side of Vaughn, which I'm sure he once was, but it is not the same Vaughn that you know from the show I felt. Also, it gives an introduction to Sydney and Vaughn meeting for the first time... but that is something that is never touched on in the show. I mean later later on you find out he wanted to be assigned to her case (last episode, season 4), but never find out more... and this makes you wonder, but it is never mentioned that they met in NY. Syd is someone who remembers everything, so that is a scene that I find interesting to be here, but doesn't really fit in. Unless that is I missed something. Either way, it's still Alias, and still awesome. ( )
