Product Description

Product Description

When Colonel Ellis encounters an Ancient on the borders of Asuran space, the Atlantis team think their luck has changed. Charming and likable, Angelus connects with each team member in a unique way - more than that, he offers them a weapon that could put an end to their war with both the Wraith and the Asurans. But all is not what it seems, and even Angelus does not know the truth about his identity...

4.0 out of 5 stars Stargate Atlantis: Angelus, 22 Jun 2009
By G. Lewis (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the first Stargate 'novel' I have ever read, but I have however seen all episodes from the TV series' SG1 and Atlantis and would consider myself a big fan.

Angelus is an ancient (perhaps the last of the ancients left?) who, once the world he is living on is destroyed by the replicators, flees in an attempt to survive and furthermore enlist revenge on those who killed his people.

The story is set somewhere in series 4 of the TV series and Connell Carter is the leader of the Atlantis expedition, which is an interesting because the author decides to make her the main character (even though she is a fairly new face to Atlantis) .

I must admit although the book has a great concept it's ever so slightly let down by the slow pace of writing and I think some readers will probably get slightly annoyed that the book doesn't move quite as fast as an actual episode or feature.

Another thing that annoyed me was the constant need by the author to recap the reader on past episodes and events, most of which is done is tediously long descriptions. Surely readers of this novel will be fans of the show, thus will not want to read pages of descriptive text that they are already familiar.

All that said, it's a great story if you stick with it and there's my twists and turns along the way to keep the reader entertained.

Recommneded for Stargate Atlantis fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good, action-filled tie-in, 31 May 2009
Almost four stars but not really, though I will bump it up to four. It was definitely better than Swallow's "Nightfall" - it ran more smoothly, there was a very logical process in going from point A to point B, the characters were rather true to themselves and the idea itself was awesome (horror and scifi in one). Also, I love stories that take place in Atlantis because the show itself took precious little time to explore the city which was a shame. And then there was the Apollo and it was nice to see its crew in action, again something that we didn't really see on the show.

But there were two things that quite didn't click for me:
a) All the technical jargon. Sometimes dumbing it down serves the story better. Some parts were a bit hard to follow for someone without a background in physics.
b) Sam Carter was without any doubt the main character of the whole story. John and Rodney were reduced to supporting characters, Teyla had one big scene and Ronon was background material (even the author's original characters had bigger parts). I missed the team terribly, the interaction between the main four: John, Rodney, Teyla and Ronon.

To sum it up, a very good, action-filled tie-in. But I miss the female touch of the previous books, the focus on the relationships between the characters.
