The Bookcassette® format is a special recording technique developed as a means of condensing the full, unabridged audio text of a book to record it on fewer tapes. In order to listen to these tapes, you will need a cassette player with balance control to adjust left/right speaker output. Special adaptors to allow these tapes to be played on any cassette player are available through the publisher or some US retail electronics stores. --Ce texte provient d'une �dition qui n'est plus publi�e ou qui est non diponible.

This review is from: Stargate 01 Rebellion (Paperback)

Rebellion by Bill McCay is, in my opinion, a poorly written and poorly edited book. The book contains multiple errors in the names, ranks and descriptions of the major charactors in the movie. In addition, poor editing creates extreme frustration as it is obvious that whoever proof read this book lacks a basic grasp of English grammar and spelling. In addition. the fact that you need to have events happen in sequence seems to have eluded the author. The fact that Colonel Jack O'Neill's name is spelled O'Neil and the fact that the author has O'Neill, who is a career Air Force officer, portrayed as a Colonel in the US Marine Corps adds to the confusion as he or she reads this novel. There is one page which is interesting and well written. Unfortunately, it is the last page in this book.

It is my understanding that the book is based on the original script for the movie but I fail to see why the author chose to use that script as the basis for this book when he could, and should, have used the script used when the movie was filmed.

In my opinion, this is a poorly written and uninteresting book. Why is now in its' 10th printing is beyond my comprehension.

4.0�toiles sur 5 The return of Hathor..., Janv. 10 2004

Par	Michael Valdivielso (Alexandria, VA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

The planet of Abydos is free, free to have chaos, free to have gun smugglers and free to have infighting among the farmers, the city folk and the caravans. They also have the freedom to mistrust the men of Earth and right when you think things can't get worse Hathor renews her conquest with a weapon so powerful that the very planet's existance is in danger.
Will O'Neil be able to fight off her attacks? Will Jackson be able to fight off her advances? Will Skaara end up the new leader of his people?
This second book in the series is interesting but NOT a stand alone book. I suggest you read the first one before this one.

This review is from: Stargate 01 Rebellion (Paperback)

STORY: Colonel Jack O'Neil is sent back to Abydos as a liaison with a private corporation to harvest the rare crystal that gave the now dead Ra his technology. Little do they know but the newly freed people of Abydos aren't about to tolerate another dictatorship. Nor is Ra's vicious successor, Hathor, going to let someone else move in on her rightful territory as a god ruler.

MY FEEDBACK: To be able to compress a full novel to two cassette tapes shows that there is very little meat or character development here.
Plot lines were telegraphed and thus provided zero surprises. Characters were cardboard and had little or no depth. You are better watching a rerun episode of the Sci-Fi channel series or watching the movie again than wasting your time on this one.

The one redeeming factor that let me give this a 2 star instead of a 1 star rating: is the entire end battle goes on for a good portion of the story and thus kept me listening through the last audio tape. Yet, even this was anticlimactic as it set things up for the next book in the series. It is all more of a marketing ploy than a desire to write a good book. Highly disappointing and I'm not going to involve myself in the next book, Stargate: Retaliation.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Great sequal to the movie...
While there are some flaws (and mistakes)the book has a lot to offer. The characters of Jackson and O'Neil seem to be in-character and many of the new characters, such as Hathor... Read more
