I always enjoyed the tv show Alias, so when I picked up some tie-in novels for my sister, I decided to read them before sending them to her. Recruited tells the story of how Sydney Bristow, exemplary student but shy and withdrawn, first joins SD-6, covert branch of the CIA.

I went into this book with expectations of a quick light read. I was right. It took me less than a day. The writing is mediocre and the story right out of the series. Only fans of the series will have any interest in this book and even then, will probably be a little disappointed.
Sydney's story continues in this novel, taking us back to a time when SD-6 was a place to be proud of working for. The younger more insecure version of miss Bristow was quite intriguing.

Mediocre. Sydney still seems immature. Noah still seems out-of-character. The tech guy was Marshall in all but name.
