Vigilance (Alias) [Mass Market Paperback]

Paul Ruditis (Author), J. J. Abrams (Creator)

Book Description

Series: Alias | Publication Date: December 6, 2005

It bothers Agent Sydney Bristow's conscience that too often her job asks her to work with criminals she would much rather put away. She understands the logic - the lesser of two evils approach is all too familiar to her - but that doesn't make it any easier to accept. Someone else disagrees. APO's more dubious contacts are being assassinated, with only a calling card depicting a black star with the number thirteen in its centre for a lead. When it becomes clear that a lethal, highly trained vigilante organisation is interfering with APO's missions, Sydney must put aside her empathy and help shut down these mysterious "13 Stars". But when Sydney herself is mistaken for a freelance terror agent, she worries that the mistake is not so far from the truth. And now that she's marked, both her cover and welfare are in immediate jeopardy...

This review is from: Vigilance (Alias) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is an easy & fast book to read. Is well paced albeit sometimes it repeats itself with one too many grapples. Nevertheless you'll be thrilled by this spies story and wanting to know what will happen in the next page. You can read this book in one or two sittings without a problem, maybe a long flight will be enough to read it at once.
