Time Travel is so confusing. But in the end all the puzzle pieces fell into place and it was nice to see all of the members of SG-1 "together" (they were separated most of the time, but it was still nice). The story was interesting, it was funny and I love the Asgard.I enjoyed it. It was a fun story that that managed to strike a perfect balance between author self-indulgence (no spoilers, but you'll know it the few times you see it) and and enjoyable action (most of the rest of the book.I'd recommend it for any fan of the tv series or any fan of lighthearted tales of time travel.
Very tongue in check references to the great roswell conspiracies, while fitting it all within the sg1 universe. Couple of good laughs, espcially which character is the most knowledgable about area 51 and the roswell conspiracies.
Incredibly convoluted. Imaginative. All ends tied up neatly despite this being a time travel story.
I loved this book from beginning to end. It is fast paced and all the storylines are very compelling. I also enjoyed that, not only do you have the original lineup of SG-1, but also Cam and Vala too, not to mention a couple of Asgard thrown in for good measure *g*!This book sums up everything that I loved about SG-1: the camaraderie, the friendship, the willingness to give up everything for each other and Earth. I think this line shows it well:"His voice didn't betray any tension, but Daniel had
Timey wimey business makes my brain hurt. It apparently was not made to follow the delicate intricacies of time travel.Also, just randomly pointing this out: since this book takes place during season 10, why did Jack have to mention Pete in regards to finding out whose ring General Samantha Carter From 30 Years In The Future was wearing? Sam broke off her engagement to Pete at the end of season 8. CONTINUITY, YOURE DOING IT WRONG.
As a fan of this show for many years I can say that this was a rather weak effort. Although the authors do a pretty good job of capturing the characters they try too hard to fit everything but the kitchen sink into the overly complex plot. Granted, it does deal with time travel and the ever worrisome changing of the timeline and that by itself asks for convoluted plotting, but they never really hit the mark. If you were a big fan of this series, you'll have fun being able to hear the characters
