The Complete X-Files: Behind the Series, the Myths, and the Movies

This guide follows the long-running science fiction television series about two FBI agents who investigate strange cases, and it covers all ten seasons along with the feature films that grew out of it. It looks behind the scenes at the creator's private archive, explaining storylines that were never resolved, examining well-known episodes one by one, and describing the fictional bureau devoted to paranormal cases. Interviews with people who worked on the show add a first-hand perspective. The edition also includes material and photographs from the most recent season, giving fans a view of how the programme was made.
