I have always enjoyed reading the SG-1 and SGA books, but in all honesty this is the worst one of the bunch.
The biggest reason for me was the characterisation of Sheppard, McKay, Teyla and Ronon, there was little interaction or for concern for each other and at times Sheppard and McKay came across as downright disliking each other there was none of the friendship which we see in the series and as this book was based in season 2/3 this friendship was established between them. Sheppard showed little concern for a missing Ronon and was completely focused on locating Teyla who has disappeared and low and behold he manages to wander off amazingly enough in the right direction and locate everyone safe and sound including Ronon who he had thought was safe somewhere else even with no radio contact for many hours......I missed seeing the back and forth between the characters.
The plot started off well but dragged as you got further in, some of it made absolutely no sense....for example the sudden rush to return home by dangerous means when realistically they could have bedded down and awaited the Deadalus....there may have been reasons for this but I just felt some of the plot was not explained well enough.
For me I like people to try a book and judge it for themselves we all have different likes and dislikes but for me this book is unfortunately a dislike.
