Review of "Alias #1: Recruited" by Lynn Mason, Amanda Foreman

If you are a fan of the ABC television show "Alias," this is an opportunity to listen to some brand new episodes. These new tales are well read by Amanda Forman, who has had a regular role in the TV series "Felicity."

In our second visit with Sydney, we find her on a typical day in her life. Of course, her life is not typical at all. She is an agent for a top-secret division of the CIA. At least that is what she thinks she is doing. We will learn all about her employer soon.

In the two-hour reading of "Recruited," we are treated to an exciting story that reveals more information about the lovely Sydney as she is assigned her first mission. She is sent to Paris where she uses her first alias. In this story Sydney discovers that she is really working for the bad guys. She is trying to balance her very normal college life against the wild exploits in her life as a spy.

The third story finds Sydney playing the role of an heiress of the former Romanian royal family. The family is now mixed up in the black market. This time, however, something goes wrong and people start vanishing one by one. They are found dead, and it's possible Sydney will be the prime suspect in their murders.

I think that all of these new stories are well done, and are in some ways better then watching the television because the CD's are so portable and perfect for listening to in your car.
