The X-Files: Perihelion

By: Claudia Gray

Narrated by: Saskia Maarleveld

The Truth Is Out There…But So Are Lies.

#1 New York Times best-selling author Claudia Gray extends the story of The X-Files beyond its eleventh season in this thrilling--and romantic--original novel.

Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are still reeling from the death of their son William, but cautiously joyous about Scully’s unexpected pregnancy. Determined to raise this child together, Mulder and Scully struggle to find meaning away from the X-Files as they navigate the uncertain waters of their relationship. Then the FBI asks for their help tracking down two mysterious serial killers: one who seems to be able to control electricity, and another who disappears from the scene of the crime in what witnesses describe as a puff of smoke. It’s enough for the Bureau to re-open the X-Files—if Mulder and Scully are willing.

They reluctantly agree, cautious about what it might mean for them and their unborn child but determined to find justice for the killers’ victims. But their return to the X-Files sparks the interest of a shadowy cabal, the heirs to the now-dead Syndicate, and Mulder and Scully soon discover that their investigation is connected to a worldwide threat on an unprecedented scale . . . one with their own future at its heart.

Another cliffhanger

The story was entertaining, but as is the usual lately with the X-Files, there is a cliffhanger.

I Want More!

This was so much fun to read! I hope they keep doing new books as good as this one! I liked the way they addressed the ridiculous ending to the last season of The X-Files! I’m satisfied with the explanation for Scully being pregnant in her 50s. The MSR was perfectly done! Loved it and I really want them to continue writing books. We don’t need a reboot of the show or new agents to take Mulder and Scully’s places. Just let us have The X-Files as books and keep it focused on Mulder and Scully! There is lots that was set up here so it seems like their could be many books to follow. I hope so!

Great sequel to the series.

I hope we get more, I still want a season 12 but until then, this is the next best thing. Great writing and performances.

Decent story. Excessive virtue signaling.

X-Files stories are usually great, and this one is good. Can we leave all the virtue signaling somewhere else and just enjoy a story?

Stuck with end of show

As an X File the story was good. And love these characters so much I’m gonna listen. The problem is because it is set after the relaunch finale it is stuck with one of the worst finale storylines in tv history. Set in season 1 to 7 without the stupid and it would have been 5 stars
