Editorial Reviews

Product Description

An oil pipeline leak in the Gulf of Mexico looks like sabotage, and APO is assigned to find the source using any means necessary. Sydney and Dixon visit the drilling platform and discover a likely suspect, but before they can corner him, he flees...in the APO helicopter.

It seems the attack was a practice run for something bigger, and Sydney and Dixon must determine the real target before time runs out. There are other matters on the agents' minds too -- Dixon is concerned about his son, Steven, and Sydney is led to wonder, not for the first time, what it would be like to have a "normal" family. But there's no time for wistful thinking when the saboteurs' plot becomes clear...and threatens to throw the country into total chaos.

More About the Author

Christina F. York looks at writing like an all-you-can-eat buffet: she has to try a little bit of everything. She has written business and technical non-fiction, erotica, action-adventure, SF, fantasy, romance, YA, and various combinations of all of the above.

She has always loved words, in every form. Her first foray into publishing, as the ten-year-old reporter, editor and publisher of a one-page neighborhood newspaper, lasted only a few weeks. During the enforced retirement that followed, she finished grade school, high school, and college, married, had a couple kids, divorced, re-married, and eventually found her way back to writing.

An Oregon native, Christina has always lived on the West Coast. After growing up in the suburbs of L.A., she spent many years in and around Seattle, moved to Eugene, Oregon, and eventually settled on the rugged Oregon coast, where she can see the ocean from her office window. She shares her home with her husband, writer J. Steven York, and a couple of very spoiled cats.

She is currently at work on a mystery for Berkley Prime Crime (MURDER BUYS A T-SHIRT) and another for Tsunami Ridge Publishing (STRUNG UP). She can be found on Facebook (Christina York), Twitter (@christinafyork and @christymystery), Webpage www.YorkWriters.com, and on her mystery blog (http://www.christymystery.com/).

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best but still good, March 22, 2006

This was not one of the best Alias APO books so far but it was still good. From some of the hints in the book, they could have gone more into Dixon's life and the problems he faced with Steven but they only hinted at it and then left it fall away. The interaction between characters was good but not as good as the previous books. It was a good read otherwise.

For true Alias-the-TV-show fans, this book delivers. It remains true to the show and reads just like an actual episode. Great book in a great series!

I had a hard time finishing following this plot to the end. Didn't find the usual entertainment value that I generally find with the APO series from other authors.
