Strong evidence exists that American suburbia oftenleads to increased feelings of isolation among thoseliving in its realm.

European Intrigue
In this installment of the Alias series, rookie spy Sydney Bristow is undercover as the assistant of famous magician Trevor Raven. Works of art just happen to be stolen in the cities where the tour stops, so Sloan tasks Sydney to keep an eye on Raven's employee - and suspected villain - Victor Romero. Noah Hicks, Sydney's hunky on-again, off-again boyfriend is also on the mission, and the two of them get to spend a little time alone.

In my opinion, this is the best book of the Alias series. There is more fast-paced action and mission interactions between Sydney and Sloan, like an episode of the TV show. The mysterious Rimbaldi is also implicated in the works of art being stolen.

Intriguing but predictable
In Vanishing Act, Sydney is on a mission in Europe.Her day job and cover is an assistant to the famous illusionist, Trevor Raven.Raven's show is on tour through Europe.Whenever Sydney is not busy with a show, she is supposed to watch and research the doings of Victor Romero, one of Raven's employees.Slowly, Sydney figures out what is really going on behind the magic show.Just when she thinks she has everything figured out, Sydney demonstrates her innocence and naivete in this book.She is just too trusting.This time, her trust of others places her in grave danger.

I like this book because it shows a very human side of Sydney.She has steadily gained confidence on her missions as described in the Alias series of books.This time, Sydney misjudges and blows her cover.She may be able to overcome the ordeal but how will this experience affect her trusting of others in the future?

alias vansihing act
If you just like the Alias books and don't like the tv show I would suggest you refrain from reading the section of the reveiw, If your and alias fan:, because it contains information about things that happen in the show which might be considered spoilers.

If your an alias fan:Being an alias fan these books have always intrigued me. I've read all of the Alias books and this is one of the most enjoyable to read. Despite the fact that it was pretty obvious from the beginning which character was manipulating Sydney, reading about Sydney's past is always interesting. Sydney's past was always kind of mysterious and obviously held important secrets that have to do with a lot of the conflicts she faces on the show. So this gives the readeran insight on how she felt about Sloane, SD6, her father, and her mother before she found out the truth about her life and it gives some insight about her past love, Noah; he appeared in season 1, episodes 18 and 19, masquerade and the snowman. Speaking of season one these books kind of reminded me of season one and early season two. The books are sort of self contained, there's rembaldi but it's not the main focus. It focuses on her lying to her friends, struggling in school, a relationship with a fellow agent, Noah, that she needs to keep under the radar, and a lack of a father figure do to her rocky relationship with her father. It contains astounding action scenes. The only difference is that her skills are a lot more premature, like it says in the book, she's to trusting. This book was pretty divulging, it's definently a way to cope with having to wait till January 2005 for the next alias episode.


If your not: If your not an Alias fan this doesn't nessicarily mean the book is pointless, the action scenes were Syndney is triumphant are far from boring and the love story between her and Noah is definently interesting, through out the whole series there was probably only one part that I found kind of corny. It won't end up being your favorite book but it's a good summer read.

Good Book Doesn't Live Up to Explosive Beginning
Sydney's off on another mission.This time she's to infiltrate the European tour of famous illusionist Trevor Raven and keep an eye on his stage manager Viktor Romero.SD-6 suspects that Viktor is smuggling items from country to country using the tour as a cover.After an intense course in magic, Sydney's off.Her new co-workers are fun, and Trevor is dreamy.In fact, his attention makes Sydney struggle over her allegiance to Noah.But as the case gets more complicated, Noah shows up to help.Can Sydney put all the pieces together before one of the illusions becomes deadly?

This book starts out with a bang.It's probably the best action scene in any of the books, rivaling anything from the TV show.As a result, I had high hopes for the book.Unfortunately, it fell into all too familiar territory after that.It was enjoyable, but I saw several plot points coming from miles away.Some just screamed out at me.Still, it wasn't a bad book, and I enjoyed watching the relationship between Sydney and Noah develop.I've really enjoyed what they've done with Noah in these books, fleshing out the back story we were given in two episodes of the first season.

With a cameo series fans will love and a jaw dropping, page turning opening, Alias fans will enjoy this book.Anyone else will want to stir clear.

Vanishing Act a Fun Read
I don't know how the author, Sean Gerace, can be a male with such insight into a female character such as Sydney, but he has definitely succeeded. If you're a fan of the Alias TV series you'll love this book. A fun read, worth checking out. ... Read more
