In September 1993, a TV show like no other appeared on our screens, asking us to consider the essence of truth and belief, to think about the nature and roles of science and humanity, and to question what we were told by those in power. Combining horror, science fiction, drama, crime, and comedy with cinematic filmmaking, The X-Files transported the paranoia of the sixties and seventies to the technologically savvy nineties as it followed two iconic characters, FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, in their labyrinthine pursuit of truth.

Story
John Hawkins is counting down his last days as chief of police on the Lone Crow Reservation in the lonely, frigid woods of the Yukon. But when a faceless body with mysterious wounds washes up on the shores of the Porcupine River, he’s pulled deeper in than ever before. Hawkins and coroner Jacob Littlecorn suspect the disfigured body is that of theoretical physicist Graham Raphelson, also known as the “molecular madman of Trinity College”, who recently disappeared.

A mysterious incident in Russia, a blip buried in the news - it’s the only warning humanity receives that civilization will soon be destroyed by a single, voracious virus that creates monsters of men. A lawyer, still grieving over the death of his young wife, begins to write as a form of therapy.

Story
For millennia, the Weave, an alliance of species, have fought to resist the telepathic Amplitur, who strive to unite all self-aware life-forms in their great "Purpose." The Weave is slowly losing ground, but for both sides, warfare focuses more on outthinking and outmaneuvering your foe than destruction. In fact, most regard violence as hideously barbaric, and even the thought of harming another sentient being is beyond imagining.

Story
Freeman is a genius with an uncommon mixture of memory, intelligence and creativity. He lives in a worldwide utopia, but it was not always so. There was a time known as the Grind—when Freeman’s people lived as slaves to another race referred to simply as “Master.” They were property. But a civil rights movement emerged. Change seemed near, but the Masters refused to bend. Instead, they declared war. And lost. Now, the freed world is threatened by a virus, spread through bites, sweeping through the population.

Mulder and Scully are at it again
I am a long time fan of the X-Files, so of course when I saw this book, it was a no brainer. It's a series of short stories that take place from the early 1990's to early 2000. Very enjoyable. if you liked the X-Files, you'll love this.

a delightful reminder of why I fell in love with
I’ve been a fan of The X-Files since it premiered on FOX way back in 1993. I remember, quite fondly, watching the premiere with my mother and then, later, with friends as a trio of us creeped-out teens went for a walk around the neighborhood in the dark following the initial airing (and only airing on FOX) of the episode “Home.” Wandering the quiet, moonlit streets had not felt like the best of ideas so soon after meeting the Peacock family. The X-Files was one of the few shows I found myself religiously tracking on then-young America Online message boards, and then, many years later, I found myself tweeting #XFiles3 along with many other fans, begging 20th Century Fox for a third movie to wrap things up and properly celebrate the show’s twentieth anniversary. A third movie never happened, but the TV show did get a small reboot on-air, with the promise of more to come. I found myself in a rare spot for a man schooled by The X-Files and Agents Mulder and Scully, as we appeared to be recapturing the cultural zeitgeist that gave rise to the series and suddenly had new material featuring the intrepid agents in the form of comic books from IDW, a fresh batch of TV episodes, and, now, this first book in a series of anthologies – I found myself believing and trusting that The X-Files was alive once again.
Trust No One, edited by Jonathan Maberry, presents fifteen short stories from various authors, each opening up a new X-Files case that finds our intrepid FBI’s Most Unwanted chasing after, or being on the run from, paranormal activity and black-suited government agents of ill repute, some of whom leave behind the strong odor of cigarette smoke. Tim Lebbon starts the book off in strong fashion with “Catatonia,” about a group of missing teens who have returned and are catatonic. My favorite, though, was Brian Keene’s “Non Gratum Anus Rodentum,” a Skinner-centric story that involves were-rats and his history in Vietnam. Like most other anthologies, Trust No One is a mixed bag. I didn’t love every story here, but there are a number of truly worthwhile X-Files investigations that deserve exploration. Other standouts includes “Paranormal Quest” by Ray Garton and “The House on Hickory Hill” by Max Allan Collins, a pair of haunted house stories with a welcome twist in each. Kevin J. Anderson, who wrote a number of The X-Files books back in the day, is a welcome and familiar voice to the anthology with his story “Statues.”
Tackling these stories are narrators Bronson Pinchot and Hillary Huber, whose duties are divided between Mulder’s and Scully’s points-of-view. Pinchot carries the bulk of this book’s fifteen-plus hours run-time, but the two narrators occasionally work together on a single story that shifts between Mulder and Scully, and Huber narrates the handful of Scully-centric stories solo. Both Pinchot and Huber deliver a solid enough narration, with Pinchot showing a dynamic range in character voices and regional accents. And while Pinchot handles Mulder’s deadpan dialogue well enough, it does take some time getting used to new, different actors inhabiting the roles that Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny, and supporting cast members like Mitch Pillegi and William B. Davis, have made so iconic and familiar. On the production end of things, I have no complaints. The sound quality is fine, and the audio is crisp and clean, making for an easy listen.
Trust No One may not completely capture the glory days of The X-Files, but it does provide a number of intriguing avenues for investigation. The best stories here were a delightful reminder of why I fell in love with this series and these characters way back when, and perfectly capture the tone of the series, balancing the agents’ quirkiness and skepticism, and humor and horror. Those stories alone make this worth the price of entry.

As a devout Xfiles fan, I enjoyed it immensely!
I enjoyed narration by Pinchot, he was spot on as Mulder. Some of the stories were lacking but most were down right awesome and took me back to what I loved about the series.
Huber's narration was ok at best but tone got annoying with dry sarcasm and weird delivery. I even skipped a story because I couldn't take her annoying tone anymore.
Highly recommend for anyone who loves/misses Xfiles. I hope some of these stories even make to the new Xfiles series planned to be filmed soon 😎

More Please!
It was so awesome to have a book that let me revisit my favorite dynamic duo. There were many well-written X-Files in this collection. There were a few that were duds as well, but overall, the good ones far out weighted the bad ones. A couple of them were just so poorly written that I wanted to scream at the author of it, "Have you EVER watched even one episode of the show????" In one story, Mulder and Scully keep calling each other Fox and Dana for no good reason at all. That might seem like a super small thing, but if you know the show, you know how weird it sounds for them to do that for no reason. They just don't do that, and it pulls you out of the story. But, thankfully, I think only one of the stories in the collection did that. Most feel just like Monster of the Week episodes that bring you back to the good old days of one of the best partnerships of all time. Sigh.... I want more!!!! When does Book Two come out?

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
IF YOU CAN'T PRONOUNCE IT, IT'S A GOOD IDEA NOT TO INJECT IT
I like short story collections, mostly so I can check out authors I have not read and to hear something from my favorites. I was introduced to several and really enjoyed Paul Crilley's story. Ray Garton had a good story and so did Briane Keene. Crilley was the only one to capture the humor in X-Files. Others tried, but did not hit the mark. Most of these stories run around an hour long. Only one third of these were good. Some of these stories might make good episodes, but just did not interest me in the written or narrated form. One author is obviously from England and has Mulder and Scully talking like they are from London. I am a big fan of the show, but even I can not recommend this.
You will run into alien pets, stone men, haunted houses, wererats, a maligator and lots of aliens and hillbillies.
NUT JOB/ SANITY CHALLENGED
Part of the problem may have been the narrators. Pinchot must be trying to do a Mulder impression. Everything is read in a slow dead pan voice. That might work on TV, but will put you to sleep on the radio. Huber must have slowed it down to match Pinchot.
PS Clines has a story were Mulder and Scully drive four hours out of KC, but stay in Missouri. It is a fictitious town in a fictitious county, but. To drive fours hours out of KC and stay in MO, you have to go directly south, especially if you want to hit hillbillies. Any other direction and you go out of state or too close to St. Louis or Springfield. That puts the story in McDonald County on the border with Arkansas. We have a joke in Southwest Missouri, which states, that if Arkansas was to annex McDonald County, it would raise the IQ for both states.

Would you listen to Trust No One again? Why?
This is the perfect anthology to be heard read aloud. The stories are intriguing and engaging, and the performances are spot on. Each one was the perfect length for one of my walks in the hills. Looking forward to the next X-Files anthology!

Like watching Monster of the Week style episodes!
Some stories were much stronger than others but all were entertaining. I thought they stayed true to the series in the style they were told.. Like watching the one-off Monster of the Week episodes of the original series. Those were my favorites. Well worth a listen if you feel the same way. I hope there is another collection like this in the future. Narration by Bronson Pinchot was great as usual.

I Want to Believe, But...
As great as it was to see Mulder and Scully investigating the paranormal again in the 2016 revival of the X-Files, it was maybe the most uneven season the show had experienced (and yes, I'm counting the seasons where Mulder was mostly absent). This collection of short fiction (averaging about an hour per story) has a better hit/miss ratio, but only just.
Let's start with the positives: Bronson Pinchot and Hillary Huber do an admirable job narrating the characters -- particularly Mulder and Scully who David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson brought to life. With a series this cult-ish, those are big shoes to fill -- and Pinchot in particular did a great dead-pan Mulder.
Additionally, some of the authors really enjoy playing in the X-Files basement office. Both Gini Koch and Keith R.A. DeCandido seem to be trying to out geek each other with references and Easter eggs listed in their stories. I particularly enjoyed Koch's horrific tale featuring Mulder his mentor Arthur Dales, prior to him taking over the X-Files. Several stories take place in the early years of the X-Files, such as Tim Lebbon's "Catonia," which sees Mulder and Scully investigating beside Alex Krycek. While we don't get to see the Lone Gunmen or John Doggett, Skinner does get a couple of fun solo outings. Stories by Kevin J. Anderson, Max Allan Collins, Brian Keene, and Peter Clines would have all made top-notch, monster of the week episodes. I could imagine them just as if I'd watched the stories unfold on TV.
But when the collection misses, it really misses. A lot of this can be laid on the editors, unfortunately. I found Tim Deal's "King of the Watery Deep," in which Mulder and Scully travel to the Middle East, to be a text book example of how to write offensive, culturally exploitative appropriation. (When you have two Saudi police officers, it's poor choices to make one a womanizer and the other a man who wants to see all foreigners killed by an ancient monster). "Time and Tide" had some ambitious ideas -- so much so that they drown out the story (and it felt like a story Mulder and Scully were shoehorned in to). I struggled buying the overall premise and climax of Heather Graham's "It's all in the Eyes," and the punchline at the end was a turn off. Additionally, in several stories, there were errors regarding which character was speaking as well as general continuity areas. Some of these are forgivable, others are just bad storytelling.
In the end, this one is really only for dedicated X-Files fans looking to wash the bitter of taste of season 10 from their mouths. I know there are a couple more of these anthologies, but I don't recognize as many of the author names in them, and I'll probably pass on them unless they go up for sale.
