Interesting Read,
By
This review is from: Stargate Atlantis: Dead End: SGA-12 (Mass Market Paperback)
This version of Stargate Atlantis takes place early on in the series, around season three which is evident by the presence of Dr. Weir. It also includes Dr. Zelenka, Teyla, Ronon, Dr. McKay and Colonel Sheppard. Following a TV series, there's always a risk with trying to capture the true voices of the main characters - for the most part, it worked in Dead End with the exception of Ronon when he said things that were not appropriate nor entirely fitting with his unique personality.
The overall storyline took place on another planet that left the crew stranded. It all began when Rodney discovered a hidden room that contained an unusual device capable of traveling further than they imagined. The only problem was that upon traveling through the wormhole via the jumper, it turns into a disastrous event leaving them trapped on a strange planet that seems to be in the middle of a devastating ice age. It's not until they are rescued by the inhabitants of Khost, that the realize the true extent of what happened - the longer they wait, their only chance of getting home rapidly disappears. Ronon and Teyla become separated from Sheppard and McKay and are considered forever lost. Sheppard refuses to succumb to the dire situation and enlists the inhabitants in forming a rescue party which leads them to a startling new discovery. I enjoyed reading this book, especially after such a long wait - several Stargate books have been pre-ordered since last summer and still have not arrived yet.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not terrible, just plain boring.,
By Trena Parks "1pmanningfan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stargate Atlantis: Dead End: SGA-12 (Mass Market Paperback)
Although I've certainly read worse books, this one disappointed me. The story line sounded interesting at first, but several scenes were very long and drawn out. I found myself actually skimming whole pages - and not missing a thing. I normally never do this. The technical aspect of figuring out how to get the team back to Atlantis was fairly interesting and accurate. When I saw Sheppard, Rodney, or Zalenka's name mentioned, I stopped to read thoroughly. The scenes with Ronan or Teyla, two characters whom I really like, were painfully long and boring. Ronan's hunting scene, which could have been described in four or five pages, took about fifteen pages all together. Teyla basically did nothing but walk around asking questions, and she is normally a very active person. Also, some of the language patterns just didn't seem right. The word "reckon" was used a lot. Maybe Sheppard would have used the term occasionally, but I can't ever remember Ronan saying it, and definitely not McKay. Sheppard's speech sounded more like Cameron Mitchell actually. The team members and their equipment were often referred to as Tauri and that term is usually reserved for off world missions in the Milky Way galaxy. Also, even though Rodney can be arrogant and rude, he was awful in this book. I normally love his character, but he came across as the world's biggest jerk with no redeeming qualities at all. The author obviously knows quite a bit about the show, but some things were just off. I could have overlooked these small things if there was any action. Unfortunately, there was not. The team members were mostly separted and I missed the team dynamic. All in all, the book was not terrible and didn't have a lot of inaccuracies, but it was just plain boring. I am a fast reader and this one seemed to take me forever; even with the skimming.

not bad,

I've read better, but at least the characters were true. Better than being "bookless". The setting and plot were different and the hunting scene was good.

Wonderfully written!,
By Dawn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stargate Atlantis: Dead End: SGA-12 (Mass Market Paperback)
I really liked this book! It captures the feel of the tv series with the characters and the plot turns. Shepard, McKay, Teyla, and Ronon were well featured in this story. Exciting and touching. An enjoyable read which I recommend to fans of the show.
