Absolutely fantastic beginning to the trilogy of books. Reads just like an episode and the pacing is really well done.
This is a reread and I'm still just as on the edge of my seat as I was the first time.
I was lucky enough to meet Sally Malcolm at a con several years ago and she is a truly wonderful person as well!

This book series takes place in Stargate SG-1's third season between "A hundred days" and "Shades of grey". At first I was almost about to stop reading this book, although the characters were well written and mostly in character. But I hated it how O'Neill treated Carter in the first half of the book. Later on he changed his behaviour and the story became quite fast paced. It had some moments, where I had to hold my breath and just couldn't stop reading. Sally Malcolm is one of the best authors Fandemonium has and I'm looking forward to reading the second part of the Apocalypse-series.

This book was super fun! Just like watching the show, the voices were spot on.

This book is brilliant. I did not figure it out until just before the end, which was fab. It's fast paced, exciting, well written, and very true to character. A must read for Stargate SG1 fans.

I loved this book! From the very first page, it pulled me in with the intense action and the well-written dynamic between the main characters. I've read books written by authors about favorite TV shows before and there are times when I question if the author has ever actually watched the show. Not with this book! This story seems written by an author who is clearly a fan of the show. The way the story and plot were set up, the action and the dialogue, the characters and setting, it was all true to the Stargate SG-1 world and characters. I could clearly see this story unfold as an episode in my mind.
I really enjoyed how well the story was written. The action never stopped, even during the moments when the characters weren't being chased or fighting for their lives, there was still the overall suspense of what happens next that kept me glued to the book and turning the pages. I loved getting in the heads of the characters, seeing their thoughts and emotions, hearing their voices, watching them struggle. And it was scary! The creatures the team were up against were nightmarish!
The twists and turns of the plot were amazing. Being a fan of the show, I questioned a few things as I began to see a distinct difference between the show and the way the book unfolded. And while I questioned the change in events, I kept going wondering how the author was going to pull this off. I'm so glad I did! I did not expect that ending and it was thrilling! Now, I can't wait to read the next book in the series!
Normally, I don't read reviews for the books that I want to read because of possible spoilers. I don't like giving spoilers away myself, but I was glad that I got a glimpse of one review stating that this book ends with a cliffhanger. It does! And while I normally don't enjoy cliffhanger endings, knowing that this book has a sequel, I didn't mind so much. It just means the story isn't over and I can't wait to read more!

A fun SG1 adventure that stays pretty in character. It takes place during one of my favorite parts of the show (between 100 Days and Shades of Grey). It had me raging for a bit because it seemed to throw canon out the window until it all made sense. Definitely some predictable parts and have an overall sense of what the next two books will be. I cannot wait. Especially if we're going to have Jack use Ancient tech - something they never did enough of on the show.
My main gripe was due to some obvious errors. I think Hammond was referred to as a Brigadier General twice.
