Product Description
Product Description
Bounty-hunter, Aris Boch, once more has his sights on SG-1. But this time Boch isn't interested in trading them for cash. He needs the unique talents of Dr. Daniel Jackson - and he'll do anything to get them. Taken to Boch's ravaged home-world, Atropos, Colonel Jack O'Neill and his team are handed over to insane Goa'uld, Sebek. Obsessed with opening a mysterious subterranean vault, Sebek demands that Jackson translate the arcane writing on the doors. When Jackson refuses, the Goa'uld resorts to devastating measures to ensure his cooperation. With the vault exerting a malign influence on all who draw near, Sebek compels Jackson and O'Neill toward a horror that threatens both their sanity and their lives. Meanwhile, Carter and Teal'c struggle to persuade the starving people of Atropos to risk everything they have to save SG-1 - and free their desolate world of the Goa'uld, forever.

Absolutely Wonderful!,
By Michelle L Hull "EmKay" (Richmond, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stargate SG-1: Siren Song (Mass Market Paperback)
I am often disappointed by media-based novels; they're often simplistic and written for fairly mindless consumption, like bon-bons. This book was no mere bon-bon, though. It was meaty, plotty, with a real understanding of the SG universe and its characters. The plot made sense, was well-paced and interesting, and meaningful in the broader context of the series. It felt like one of the better episodes, and as a result it was a compelling read. I especially loved how it was referential to the story arc of the series without becoming convoluted. I was also pleased to find that the characterizations were the people on the screen, and written with a sensitivity to the place in the SG arc that this story is set. Oftentimes media characters are not well-utilised; they come off as cardboard cut-outs, or puppets of the author. In "Siren Song" they are unique, complex and recognizable. I hope these writers try their hand at another story; it was a refreshing break from the usual fare. It's nice to be engaged as a reader for a change, rather than disappointed.

More depth than I expected,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stargate SG-1: Siren Song (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read all the Fandemonium SG-1 novels now and I'd say this one is tied with The Cost of Honor as a favorite. It avoided all the usual tiresome Egyptian mythology in favor of some blended mythology. Lots of details folded into the novel that made my day as a long-time viewer of the show, had to use my brain to catch some of it. Nice to be required to pay attention to aspects of a tie-in's story, for a change, as there are sections very dense with meaning. I liked the portrayals of the team, especially Carter, who comes off as strong and smart and yet flawed but capable. Liked O'Neill a lot in this too. Good, interesting plot with some twists I didn't expect. I wish there had been more of Aris Boch, however all in all an entertaining read.

Great read,
This review is from: Stargate SG-1: Siren Song (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed the heck out of this book. It's a smart, sneaky, suspenseful adventure. The characters are just the way they are on the show--smart, tough, competent, and loyal to one another and to their duty. Everyone gets a chance to shine, but I think Sam Carter comes off best.There's a lot of meaty continuity referring back to past seasons, since this story is set in Season 7, but not so much that you'd get lost if you don't remember it. The new characters are vibrant and clear, and are more than just sounding boards or convenient extras to help out SG-1. The writing is very good: vivid and clear, with great suspenseful pacing and creative twists in the plot. Great story, highly recommended.
