X Files #01 X Marks the Spot

By Les Martin

Book Overview

The FBI thinks that Mulder is weird--or worse. He keeps insisting that aliens are running amok on earth. His lovely and level-headed partner agent Dana Scully, is supposed to keep in line. But that's hard to do when they're investigating an Oregon high school class full of corpses and the walking dead. Yes, Mulder's theories about the class of '89 are beyond strange. But in a world where minds are turned off like lights, bodies blossom with otherworldly scars, and the night explodes with blinding evil, Fox Mulder may not be weird at all. He may just be the one with the answers nobody's ready to hear... The members of an Oregon high school class are dying off one by one. Agents Mulder and Scully must try to make sense of a town gone mad, where teenagers' minds are turned off like lights, mysterious fires explode after dark, and bodies blossom with otherworldly scars. But Mulder's explanations are strangely unpopular, especially when he starts digging up graves. It seems someone'or something'is terrified he'll uncover the truth . . .

A strange begining!

When F.B.I. agent Dana Scully is first meets Angent Fox Mulder she is confounded."..like putting together 2 pieces in a puzzle that don't fit.." He is deffinatly the ruddest man that she has ever met! Together they investigate the strange disippearance of one high school class. Each victim has strange red welts on thier lower back. Agent Mulder thinks that the kids have been abducted by aliens, but his skeptical, brand new partner thinks that this is some kind of sick prank. Until, that is, she gets some red welts of her own......!

It sure is #1!

Still my favourite Xifiles book, #1 is full of excitment! Was it a human corpse that Scully dug up? Why are all the people who died in the graduating class of 1989? What are the two red dots on there backs? Was Mulder right, did time really lose three hours? What's the metal thing placed in the class of '89 students' teeth? All these questions, and more are hard too figure out when students in the graduating class of '89 are dieing. A little too hard...
