Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The Stargate Atlantis team encounter a society where high priests of the local cult are able to protect the society from attacks by the Wraith by using technology left behind by the Ancients. However, the genetic ability to use the weapons has faded over successive generations, leaving the people increasingly vulnerable to attack. With the Wraith growing ever bolder in their attacks, the team must decide whether to inoculate the priests with a gene therapy which will restore their abilities, and also decide whether or not to withhold the therapy from the rest of the population in order to shore up the dominance of the high priests.

The plot dragged out for far too long, loosing my interest with well over one hundred pages left to go, and wasn't even original. The season two episode The Tower, which had aired in December of 2005, months before this book came out, dealt with the same topic of "genetic superiority" determining the ruling class. Also, the characterizations didn't ring true at all. Dr. McKay was made out to be stupid, and Teyla was written as judgmental and cruel. If you like Stargate Atlantis, stay away from this mockery of a book.

I own all of both SG1 and Atlantis novels and am an avid Sci Fi reader. I have found that anything with Sonny Whitelaw will be tons of extranious description and very poor character and plot development. If you want to read some great Stargate books try the ones by James Swallow or Salley Malcom.

Still an enjoyable read for Stargate Atlantis diehards but characterizations didn't ring true, especially Dr McKay's portrayal. In the tv series, he is eccentric and sometimes clueless, but not repeatedly stupid as was portrayed. The personalities seemed to be contrived so that the plot would work, rather than to be true to their development on the tv series and made the characters seem lacking in depth and intelligence.
Interesting plot and plot development; just would be nice to have more accurate character portrayal.

The Stargate fan novels are very true to the characters and are the equivalent to watching an episode on SCI FI, only in most cases better. Some of the books are just new adventures written by fans, good, but not great. While others are Great adventures where the author actually expands on the depth of the character and team, fills in gaps that us fans have always thought or guessed about. So far all the SG-1 books have had Jack in them, not Cam. I am using this as a generic review for all the books rather than risk spoiling anything in the stories. I have watched all episodes in the series (both SG-1 and SG-A), heck I own every published season, and as much as I hate to admit it I have seen every episode at least twice, in short, I am a Stargate nut. I have purchased all books written in the SG-1 and SG-A series, though not all of them through Amazon due to availability. Sometimes the shipping takes a long time since they are published in the U.K.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a really good story and is well written. It deals with people who have the ancient gene and have elevated status because of it. I personally like reading more stories about the Atlantis team and seeing things that aren't shown on the screen. You see Major Sheppard become more of a military leader who has to control and army and save this world. It is a good read.
