Michael's Reviews > The X-Files: Perihelion

Claudia Gray's The X-Files: Perihelion reopens the X-Files with a thrilling, emotionally charged novel that's sure to please even the most skeptical of fans. With an action-packed plot that combines the best elements of the show's mythology with a healthy dose of character development for Mulder and Scully, Perihelion makes an excellent case for the X-Files continuing as an ongoing series of novels. It's not a total homerun; the ending's pretty unresolved and the plot itself feels a bit derivative. But Gray so perfectly captures the essence of Mulder and Scully's relationship that it's hard to imagine someone walking away from this book without even the hint of a smile on their face. There's just so much quintessential X-Files goodness to love here. And Gray's absolute love of the series is so infectious that it's easy to lose yourself in the story she crafts.
