Product Description

Product Description
Deception and lies abound on the planet of Heruun, protected from the Wraith for generations by the mysterious 'Aegis'. But the 'Aegis' is something no one can imagine and with a Hive ship poised to attack, there is much more at stake than the fate of one planet. For the 'Ageis' conceals a threat so dangerous that Colonel Sheppard and his team must risk everything to eliminate it from the Pegasus galaxy...

3.0 out of 5 stars My least favorite SGA book so far., 7 April 2009
It's really hard for me to somehow rate this book. You see, on the one hand, it was really good - the story was quite intriguing and well plotted - on the other hand, quite often I asked myself if the author had even seen SGA. Why? Well...

SPOILERS ahead!

a) He got some of the most basic SG "hard facts" wrong - according to him, the 'gate wormhole goes both ways!
b) The characterization. Oh, boy. Teyla kept snapping/barking/snarling. Rodney either whined or he was painfully meek, his acerbic - and intelligent - humor was completely absent etc. etc.
c) The author moved the plot forward through completely illogical decisions on the part of the main characters. Example? Carter forced Sheppard to take Keller, an untrained doctor who refused to even accept a gun, with his team - on a recon mission to a possibly hostile planet! When Teyla and Ronon were kidnapped in a space ship, Sheppard and the Marines went searching for them - on foot!
d) The author's style... If I hear "the Athosian woman" or "the warrior woman" or "the P-90 submachine gun" or "the submachine gun" again, I will scream!

I think that Swallow would benefit from either having a co-author or a better editor.

To sum it up? My least favorite SGA book so far. I won't be re-reading it any time soon, that's for sure...

3.0 out of 5 stars Hmm, 7 April 2009
By J. Bridgewater "bridjess" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There were moments in this book that just confused me, such as a reference to 'Angelus' a book that was not out (at the time I read it) and is set to be the next in the Fandemonium series. So if no-one knows who 'Angelus' is why reference him. Also as someone pointed out before the gate traveling both ways?? Very wrong.
The plot was quite interesting at points and sometimes I found the character moments to be quite believable other times I found them to be just wrong and not at all what I thought the character would do. Even saying this I don't find it the worst in the series and maybe one day will pick it up again, just not in the near future.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good literary episode., 2 April 2009
By Brendan McCaul "MoonApe" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
OK, It isn't Rocket Science and Tie-ins get ignored by the literatti, but Nightfall is a good solid addition to the range from Fandemonium. I have found James Swallow to be very readable and this one is no different. Action and interaction between the characters is reminiscient of a fairly enjoyable episode.

I would recommend it as a fun read for fans of Atlantis.
