Summary: Sydney Goes to Summer Camp
Review: Sydney ironically seems to have a real talent for ferreting out agents unloyal to SD-6. This was an entertaining read for die-hard fans of the TV series like myself, but would probably not hold the attention of a reader unfamiliar with the show.

Summary: Summer Camp for Spies
Review: Sydney is thrilled to be asked to the annual summer camp that the CIA holds for its rookie agents. She'll spend time with fellow trainees sharpening skills and getting a crash course in French. Along the way, her new handler at SD-6, Sloan, asks her to complete a simple retrieval mission. It should be a fun time, especially since she won't have to lie to anyone there. They are all agents, so she won't have to pretend she's only a student.Her roommate, Stephanie, seems like a perfect fit, and the two hit it off right away. But when an accident happens, Sydney begins to suspect things are not what they appear. Now this mini-vacation may turn out to be her last. This is another fun prequel novel for Alias. While not as intense as the last one was, it was still entertaining and held my interest quite well. I especially loved the Niagara Falls setting since I had been there and could picture most of what was going on. These novels are developing quite a story on their own, and this one does a good job of giving you the back story quickly and then moving into the new material. This book is also notable because it marks the first appearance of Emily Sloan. While non-fans will probably not be impressed, fans of the series will continue to enjoy these stories before the real story began.
