Agent of Chaos

Today's post is on Agent of Chaos by Kami Garcia. It is the first book in The X-Files Origins novels. It is 307 pages long and is publishes by Imprint. The cover is white with different items from the story making an X symbol and the title in the white space. The intended reader is someone who is a fan of the X-Files or a young adult who wants to get into them. There is mild foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this book. The story is told form third person close changing characters as the story goes on. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the dust jacket- He wasn't always a believer.
In the spring of 1979, seventeen-year-old Fox Mulder has bigger problems than applying for college. Five years ago, his younger sister disappeared from their home and was never heard from again. Mulder blames himself, and his mother blames his father, who has retreated into his top-secret work for the State Department. In Fox's senior year, his dad has moved him to Washington, D.C- away from his friends on Martha's Vineyard.
While Mulder doesn't mind the fresh start and not being known as "that kid with the missing sister," he's still obsessed with finding Samantha. So when a local boy turns up dead and another child is abducted, Mulder can't stop himself from getting involved. Could there be a link to his sister's case? As he uncovers the truth, Mulder and his friends find themselves on the trail of a serial killer.
Sucked into a world where conspiracies, the occult, and madness overlap, Fox Mulder starts to believe.

Review- A good addition to the X-Files cannon. Garcia has a hard job before her with this book because I love The X-Files and I have read other books that have been written in cannon. But she raises to the occasion and this is a gem. We get to see where Mulder's profiling career starts, we get to see more of his relationship with his father, and we see Mulder act like Mulder. Lots of little details that will make a long time fan happy like X and the Smoking Man are in background characters and they help more the plot along at times. I am looking forward to reading Sully's book and I hope that more is written in this style.

I give this book a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this book with my own money.
