Product Description
This unauthorized tell-all, written by popular science-fiction authority Hal Schuster, is the most complete and compelling expose` available of the hit TV show. It unravels The X-Files' twisting intrigues and provides episode summaries, profiles of the characters and actors, bloopers, special-effects secrets, and more.

From the Inside Flap
Television critics complain it's unrealistic?FBI agents Mulder and Scully tracking extraterrestrial intelligences loose upon the world. Followers of The X-Files TV series can't seem to get enough.

Now, author Hal Schuster offers fans the key to unlocking The X-Files. His latest book, Unauthorized Guide to The X-Files reveals everything the television network FOX doesn't want viewers to know. It will help readers unravel the story line, episode by episode. They'll discover bloopers that were covered up and others that went forgotten. They can download inside jokes, Internet data, and scoops about comic-book and novel clones.

This x-traordinarily detailed guide provides a probing look at the X-File series, which has received the Golden Globe Awards and recognition in the Emmys. From its conception to its fourth year on air, readers will discover:

? What inspired Chris Carter, an ex-surfer, to create The X-Files
? How critics, the industry, and viewers have reacted to the series
? How similar Anderson and Duchovny are to the characters Mulder and Scully
? How many mistakes appear in an average episode of The X-Files

Even TV critics may want to investigate this one: Unauthorized Guide to the X-Files opens with an analytical look at the latest real-life evidence pointing toward outer-space intelligence. According to Schuster, TV's most terrifying series may be far closer to reality than fiction.

It also includes an extensive appendix that lists real-life X-Files and the organizations that investigate them, as well as an overview of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Readers will find listed hundreds of magazines, agencies and on-line sites featuring the sort of topics found on The X-Files

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic, August 4, 1997
By A Customer
The definitive work on the subject. Schuster writes in an accessible and entertaining style while drawing upon his encylcopedic knowledge of this important TV series. My only nitpick is that the treatment of the stars is uniformly positive - you won't find any dirt here! But there's enough hard-to-find info to keep even the most-addicted fans awake in absorption. The cover looks great, too
