Alias: Recruited by Lynn Mason, 7

Book Description: Terror-filled eyes. Lungs choked with water. A pounding heartbeat. For Sydney Bristow, it’s a typical day in her not-so-typical after-school job–she’s an agent for SD-6, a top-secret division of the CIA. Or so she thinks. This prequel is the first in a new series based on the smash ABC show Alias–it’s Sydney’s life before she discovers she’s working for the bad guys, juxtaposing normal college life against her fabulous exploits as a working spy.

Review: This is the first book in the Alias prequel series. The book covers 19 year old college student Sydney Bristow's recruitment into the to secret agency know as SD-6. I really enjoyed reading about the circumstances which lead Sydney to become a spy. I felt the book did a good job with her character even though it was a bit juvenile for my tastes. My favorite thing about the book is that we got to learn a lot more about Francie; a character which didn't really get a lot of screen time on the show. The book isn't really action packed but if you are interested in the characters, it's worth a look.
