Favorite Quote: Every time Special Agent Dana Scully ventured into the bowels of FBI Headquarters to see her partner, Fox Mulder, she felt as if she were doing something illicit - or at least unwise.
Synopsis (PBS): In the most ambitious and exciting X-Files adventure to date, Mulder and Scully fly to the Yucatan jungle to investigate a missing team of archaeologists. Their exploration leads to a strange electronic signal coming from beneath ancient ruins -- a signal aimed upward, at the stars....
Review: Another of my secret vices. I love The X-Files. Still. Fortunately for me, these stories do not really need to be read in order. It's a good thing since I've only read #1 and #4. I haven't gotten the ones between yet, although I will I'm sure. This was a fast read; amusing, thrilling, scary and full of possible alien evidence that gets lost, leaving Mulder the only believer....except me, of course. No, this isn't high fiction. It will never make a 'Top 100' list. But it is a blast from the past and kept me entertained the entire time. And, really, isn't that more important?
Rating: 8 / 10
