Product Description
Product Description
Destiny awaits - Without food, supplies, or a way home, Colonel Everett Young finds himself in charge of a mission that has gone wrong before it has even begun. Stranded and alone on the far side of the universe, the mismatched team of scientists, technicians, and military personnel have only one objective: staying alive. As personalities clash and desperation takes hold, salvation lies in the hands of Dr. Nicholas Rush, the man responsible for their plight, a man with an agenda of his own - "Stargate Universe" is the gritty new spin-off of the hit TV shows "Stargate SG-1" and "Stargate Atlantis". Working from the original screenplay, award-winning author James Swallow has combined the three pilot episodes into this thrilling full-length novel which includes deleted scenes and dialog, making it a must-read for all Stargate fans.

Stargate Universe: Air,
By helpteaching! (England, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stargate Universe: Air (Mass Market Paperback)
I have been a Stargate fan since the original film, I actually enjoyed this book. I read this book before watching the series and it made me want to see the series. The advertisement of SGU before it aired put me off along with comments from people all over the world and sky users who had watched part of the series but I was still going to see for myself how it turned out. This book is different from the series start episodes 1 - 3 AIR. The characters are explored in the book earlier whereas the series extended this exploration over the first 5 episodes. Some dialogue is different and I think funnier at times. This book was based on an earlier draft of Air which was changed just before filming.
If you liked other Stargate books SG1 and SGA I think you will like this. The story is not as strong & dramatic as the SGA series Rising but still worth reading. The book is well written and easy to read and could have been used for high ability readers (children 8+) apart from the Lt. Scott and James closet time - could be blanked out though.

Waste of money,
By biker 09 (germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stargate Universe: Air (Mass Market Paperback)
Don't get me wrong. I am a fan of the series. But I had better wait until the box would come. To buy the pilot on a extra DVD is a waste of money. The promised extra minutes are a joke. I had only found one scene which is new.
The series itself is great. I am looking forward to get the first and the second season on DVD.

For fans, it's worth a read,
By William E. Ives - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stargate Universe: Air (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a pretty good novelization of the opening episode of the series. As such, most will know what's going to happen, so the expected upside for reading it would be to get more character depth or additional detail that the episode didn't have time to get into. IMHO, in this regard, this novel was good. I hesitate to say great, as it seemed to really slow down toward the end. Humm....not a resounding recommendation, but for fans of the series, it's worth a look.
