X Files: Perihelion by Claudia Gray (2024)
Here's a book that millions of X Files fans will thrill to immerse themselves in. I know I certainly did..
I'm not sure how to diplomatically discuss any details here since the story is steeped deep into the entire X Files mythology and backstories of all the previous seasons. But I feel comfortable in revealing that FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are still in pursuit in finding out the Truth That's Out There and as always, they should Trust No One.
Somehow, they're back on the job, made doubly perilous by their being blessed with Scully's miraculous pregnancy. And they're faced with multiple formidable threats at the same time = a serial killer/monster-of-the-week who's targeting pregnant women, an assassin who can literally go up in smoke and back again, and a new iteration of their worst global conspiracy enemies.
Author Claudia Gray makes superb use of the novel form in the ability to lay out a fully detailed picture of Mulder and Scully's tortured pasts that lead them to their current adventures. X-Filers who've always wanted an articulate presentation of their unseen, unspoken private lives and inner thoughts will find a true bounty here.
I wouldn't dream of revealing anything else, except to say I couldn't have enjoyed this book more and look forward to author Gray continuing on with more. 5 stars (*****)
