Double agents, international terrorist rings, family relationships, and forbidden love are among the themes discussed in this companion guide to Alias, ABC's fast-paced drama series about the life of CIA operative Sydney Bristow. An extensive episode guide and explanation of the complex storylines offers a comprehensive perspective on the series' first three seasons. A map of Rambaldi artifacts uncovered, locations that Sydney visited, profiles of the James Bond–like gadgets used, and a discussion of continuity errors make this roll call of favorite and unknown facts about Alias essential for devotees and new fans of the drama.

4.0 out of 5 stars
good companion for first three DVD sets,
By
This review is from: Uncovering Alias: An Unofficial Guide to the Show (Paperback)
I bought this book as a companion for the first three DVD sets, it's got just about anything you'd want in that regard.You'll find cast biographies, and character info (even a listing of birthdays for the cast and their characters- not always the same ages),background information on the series, a lot of details. I liked the listings for each season, they're episode by episode with original broadcast dates. Each has several subcategories for bits of information you might want such as who directed or guest starred, trivia, highlights, mistakes. It can be a little too extensive at times- I had to read through more than once to find a bit I was looking for. If you're a fan of Alias, epsecially if you have the DVD sets, you should get this book.
