Exploring ABC’s hit spy drama, Uncovering Alias: An Unofficial Guide takes readers through this exciting and groundbreaking televisions series. Author Nikki Stafford provides an episode by episode review of the show’s first three seasons, detailing the missions, the music that was featured, and interviews from various cast and crew. Also included are mini-biographies for the main cast, fan website information, and a test about the CIA (for the diehards that want to go beyond the show). Additionally, publicity photos are used throughout the book, highlighting various actors, along with a full colored photo gallery. While the episode reviews are pretty good, the others sections can be a little dry and monotonous. Uncovering Alias: An Unofficial Guide has its weaknesses, but overall it’s a solid television companion.
