Product Description

From the Inside Flap

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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but drawn out, Nov 22 2002

By	DarkKnight "darkknight55" (Glendale Heights, IL United States) - See all my reviews

Just an FYI, these books are based on Stargate the movie and not Stargate SG-1 the TV series, which is much better than the movie. SG-1 expands on the different worlds that could be dialed up on the Stargate which could- and does lead to all kinds of adventures, making the TV series much more interesting especially with the excellent choice for of a cast.
This is the final book out of 5 in the series. The problem that I have is that the whole book series is very drawn out with various sub plots that could have been shortened and probably bring the series to 3 books instead of 5. I also find this series somewhat more bland then the SG-1 series because of the lack of the other characters. All in all it was still interesting reading and I am glad I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not based on the tv series, but based on the movie, Aug 21 2001

By A Customer

What some folks may not be aware of is that the SG-1 series was based on the hit movie Stargate. In my opinion, the movie was far superior to the series and the novels that continue the movie thread (not the series) also reflect this.

If you are a fan of the tv series and never saw the movie (or like the series more than the film that started it all), then stick with the SG-1 books based on the tv show because this book will not carry over some of your favorite characters from the show - except the originals that came from the film (and will carry over their characteristics, not the ones reflected in the show). If you are a fan of the movie then definitely pick up this series of books.

Unfortunately, some of the other reviews here of this book appear to be by fans of the tv series who expected this book to be a continuation of this show...and actually thought the book was based on the series. The book says right on the cover that it is based on the characters created by Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, the writers of the movie. These two creative people are not involved in the tv series (which is too bad because I would probably watch it more if they were).

So if you want a great read that continues the story started in the movie then pick the whole series up. If you are expecting a book that is based on the show then you'll be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars I want more, Nov 16 2000

By	Colin (bay area, ca) - See all my reviews

This book is a rush. The story is suspenseful the whole way through. I hope there is another book but i'm glad we got five great ones continueing the stargate tradition.

4.0 out of 5 stars This can't be the end of the series!
I have read the four preceding books and I did like this one as much as the others. However, this can't be the end of the series! Not one thread in the story gets an ending! Read more
