Set after the events of The X-Files: I Want to Believe
and providing additional backstory to the incidents that pulled Mulder
and Scully out of reclusion prior to 2016's miniseries revival, a
database breach at FBI headquarters allows an unknown group to access
and capitalize on those investigations left unsolved - dubbed cold cases
- by the secret department once known as The X-Files. As friends and
foes of the agency long thought gone begin to inexplicably reappear,
former agents Mulder and Scully come out of anonymity to face a growing
conspiracy that involves not only their former department but the US
government and forces not of this world.
Here, fans are treated once again to Mulder and Scully's irreplicable chemistry as only the series' leads could deliver, Duchovny's deadpan and cynical aloofness finding its natural counterpoint in Anderson's unwavering intelligence and rigidity. Appearances from series regulars and the actors who made them fan favorites round out this must-listen arc: the gruff, no-BS righteousness of Walter Skinner; the distinctive click-puff of the Cigarette Smoking Man; and the stooge-like hijinks of three beloved conspiracy theorists - Lone Gunmen.
The audiobook is available for pre-order.
