Disclaimer: I am friends with the editor and multiple authors in this collection; I purchased a hardcopy of this book from one of the authors for full price.

Review: Valhalla (Stargate SG-1 #14) by Tim Waggoner
I enjoyed this book more than I otherwise might have, reading it so soon on the heels of watching Thor: Ragnarok in theaters. Any Stargate reading for me is a visit to a world I love, and this was a solid, though not necessarily memorable, entry into the media tie-in offerings for this world. One … Continue reading Review: Valhalla (Stargate SG-1 #14) by Tim Waggoner

Favorite story: "Precognition" by Jo Graham touches on the after-effects of one of my favorite episodes of Stargate SG-1, when our heroes travel back in time and are aided by a younger George Hammond.

Review: THIRD PATH (Stargate Atlantis) by Melissa Scott and Jo Graham
And thus, we finally come to the conclusion of the Stargate Atlantis Legacy series, which continues the story past season 5 of the television series. Overall, this novel was both a bittersweet and very satisfying ending to a much larger and more complicated story line. One of the benefits of media tie-in novels is that … Continue reading Review: THIRD PATH (Stargate Atlantis) by Melissa Scott and Jo Graham
Review: THE COST OF HONOR (Stargate SG-1) by Sally Malcolm
A good media tie-in novel should hit a number of criteria. Expand upon the established universe. Give the reader better insight into the internal motivation of the characters. Build a setting that goes beyond the restrictions of the original format. Sally Malcolm's conclusion to the story she started in A Matter of Honor does all … Continue reading Review: THE COST OF HONOR (Stargate SG-1) by Sally Malcolm
