Customer reviews:  Good Insight Into Vaughn, 2005-01-15
This is a pleasing book. I fills in a lot we didn't know about Vaughn and his history. However, as most of the book is set at 'The Farm' it does get a little repetitive, but it is still a good read. Yay for ALIAS books!
Switching Focus, But Not Up To Par, 2003-08-27
For as long as he can remember, Michael Vaughn has wanted to join the CIA. So, when the call finally comes, he puts his entire life on hold, hoping to get in. But getting in is only the start. He has to learn how to deal with an obnoxious fellow trainee. Keeping the secret from his girlfriend and mother is also hard. But his first mission puts him in more danger then he ever anticipated. And what about his father’s journal that he just received in the mail? As usual, fans of the TV show will enjoy getting to see the characters before we met them on the screen. This is the first prequel novel to focus on Vaughn. His early days at the CIA provide some interesting insight into how the organization works. However, this novel had several problems with it. The overall story structure could have used some work. While it mirror RECRUITED, the story of Sydney joining SD-6, this novel seemed much more disjointed, with several things thrown in more or less at random. Also, the novel makes several references to events happening “in the nineties,” when, to keep series continuity, the book should have been set in the nineties. Finally, the sub-plot of the journal was confusing and horribly resolved. It would have been much better to leave it out completely. Alias fanatics will want to read this book to get a little insight into Vaughn. Everyone else should skip it. Hopefully, the next novel will get the book series back on track.
