The author achieved a nice balance between keeping true to the characters and themes of the show, and exploring an interesting (if somewhat grim) new science-fictional society. A focused, fast-moving plot that managed also to incorporate a good scene or two for each of the major characters (like Ronon's "One Man Army" assault during the Capture-the-Flag wargame sequence). And even a touch of romance for Rodney! Compares favorably to the best of other media tie-ins like Peter David's "Star Trek" novels.

This was a great read.
I bought this book on my Kindle, because the hard copys are hard to find.
I was NOT disappointed.
The plot is fun and fast paced, with lots of action and suspense.
Not as humorous as the other books, but the action parts make up for it.

This is one of my favorite James Swallow books and also a fan favorite for the Atlantis novel series. No wonder it is now sold out and very expensive to get. BUT it is worth it especially if you are a die hard Stargate Atlantis fan! Why not ask your friends to help split the cost or ask for it for your birthday, but believe me you will want to read this one!
