Too much in one book,

This review is from: Stargate SG-1: Hydra: SG1-13 (Mass Market Paperback)
I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Stargate books that wrapped up previous plot lines. It's nice to finally get some closure. I hope that lends weight to my review of this book, which I find to be rather disappointing.
First, the good stuff: WE finally find out about at least two plot points used in old SG-1 episodes, namely the Quantum mirror, and Harlan and his android "clones" of SG-1. The writing seems sound at first, balancing the action with the techno-babble. Where did it all go wrong? There is an old saying "Too many cooks spoil the broth". in my experience with SG-1 novels, books with two authors never turn out quite right, and that holds true here. The first thing to discuss is the trust and there crew of renegade scientists. It seems illogical and impractical to create a large offworld base they couldn't even stay in contact with regularly, to create several robot copies of SG-1 to find alien goodies. Expensive too, considering the alternatives. it then splits up into a story about four different SG-1's that gets more than a little confusing. at some point, one of the copy teams decides to go looking for the origin of the quantum mirror, finding a world that it's hard to imagine even insane robots would hazard visiting. The reasoning becomes even more scewed at this point, with pointless decisions being made all around.The novel wraps up with a nice dosage of "WTF just happened?' And you are left trying to figure out what the consequences they talked about are, and what the fourth SG-1 copy is going to do with itself. This is a book I recommend for diehard SG-1 fans, because it ties up loose ends, but not to the casual reader, as the plot quickly becomes mired down, and confusing.

I buy all the Stargate series books just to keep them going and I have enjoyed the majority of them. I think this writer has a decent grasp of the characters, however I found the way the book was written to be somewhat confusing. i know it was supposed to be written that way, but it was a little much trying to keep it all straight. Good idea, but it needed a better execution.

taking an idea way too far,

This review is from: Stargate SG-1: Hydra: SG1-13 (Mass Market Paperback)
I just got this book yesterday and just finish reading it and I would say that this one is a cross between the episodes "Tin-man", "Double Jeopardy", and "Ripple Effect". I knew that they were some how going to bring the robots back in this story, but wasn't expecting this. For any who want to get a better perspective on this story, better check out the episodes first and then read it.
