Amazon.com Review
How do you top the story of Sydney joining a sorority? Why, with a Michael Vaughn tell-all, of course. Sydney's handler-slash-love-interest anchors the fifth installment in this solid, young-adult prequel series for the hit ABC TV show.
Agent Vaughn certainly came to Alias with his share of mysteries (like a beautiful disappearing girlfriend and a CIA dad killed in the line of duty), so you've got to figure any prequel should dish out some pretty good dirt. Author Lizzie Skurnick, a newcomer to these prequels, doesn't disappoint, displaying the same easy- but still fun-to-read chops she honed in Love Stories. Still pained by the loss of his father, Michael Vaughn vows to make a difference by joining the CIA himself in The Pursuit. Of course, intrigue and danger ensues. Fans of the show who haven't read any of the prequels should start back with Recruited--and then once you think the history of Agent Vaughn can't be fleshed out any further, it's onto a Sydney-Michael duet in book number five, Close Quarters. (Ages 9 to 12) --Paul Hughes
