Alias: Namesakes is one of the later Greg Cox entries in the licensed fiction line, and it helps round out the sense that Alias had a real paperback shelf rather than a couple of isolated tie-ins. That makes it exactly the kind of title AbramsFans should keep track of as the Books section gets more complete.
It also fits the site especially well because it reflects the part of Alias that fans loved as an identity-driven spy thriller. Even in paperback form, the show’s themes of covers, past lives, and unstable personal history remained a natural match for the franchise.
