Terror-filled eyes. Lungs choked with water. A pounding heartbeat. For Sydney Bristow, it’s a typical day in her not-so-typical after-school job–she’s an agent for SD-6, a top-secret division of the CIA. Or so she thinks. This prequel is the first in a new series based on the smash ABC show Alias–it’s Sydney’s life before she discovers she’s working for the bad guys, juxtaposing normal college life against her fabulous exploits as a working spy.

It’s Sydney Bristow’s first mission–in Paris. Her first alias. Her first real enemy. Her first real crush. And her first big mistake. There are a lot of firsts for Sydney. But no second chances.

Will Sydney be the prime suspect . . . or the newest victim?

AKX is spending spring break in Waikiki, and Jen was supposed to undertake an important mission for SD-6 there. But now Jen is dead, and it’s up to Sydney to infiltrate the sorority and carry out Jen’s Hawaiian mission . . . and find out what really happened to her sister spy.

To do whatever it takes to honor his father’s memory. But serving his country will exact a toll higher than he can imagine. His life will change forever. And so it begins.

Keeping tabs on Marianna, the daughter of Italy’s president, isn’t the type of assignment Michael Vaughn was expecting. He’s a newly minted CIA officer—not a babysitter. Never mind that there’s a plot to assassinate Marianna’s father. Or that she’s incredibly beautiful. Or that ditching her security detail makes her laugh. Political assassins are no laughing matter. And neither are gorgeous girls undercover.

Sydney’s not so sure about her handler at SD-6. Wilson seemed on the level. He acted as if he really cared. But a new assignment has given her serious doubts about the man she trusts with her life. Is her boss a double agent? And if he is, what will he do if he discovers Sydney knows the truth?

BEING DOWN UNDER has its advantages. Especially when Sloane gives Sydney the ultimate alias: rich American equestrian with a handsome deferential servant—Noah Hicks. It’s all part of Sydney’s mission to find out who is funding the world’s deadliest terrorists. Learning to ride a horse is the least of her worries. Surviving a stalker in the outback comes first.
