The X-Files Origins: Agent of Chaos

Absolutely better than the Scully book.

Pretty good book. Totally feel like this captured Mulder's character perfectly and completely sets him up to be the man we meet in the show. A bit disappointing though as the pacing was quite strange and the ending felt very anticlimactic.

I almost didn't read this because I felt so meh about the teen Scully book [b:Devil's Advocate 29244734 Devil's Advocate (The X-Files Origins, #2) Jonathan Maberry https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1483454545s/29244734.jpg 49488502], but I figured it's a totally separate author, let me give it a chance. And! I liked it so much more. (BTW- I notice that Goodreads is numbering this one #1 in the series, but I think Goodreads maybe just did that arbitrarily/alphabetically, since they're not really connected. [There is a slight point of crossover but it's not really significant])I thought Garcia had a much better handle on Mulder's voice, and the mystery was a lot more engaging. I also appreciated the nerdy D&D humor in this one–more in line with what I liked about the tone of the TV show. Overall, honestly, there probably still is better X-Files fanfiction out there on the internet, but I would recommend this one to an X-Files fan looking for a fun read.
