Customer Reviews

Really Liked It

I hesitated to buy this book because of the mixed reviews, but I have to admit it's one of my favorite ones from Fandemonium. I thought the author had the characters' personalities down pat and found the story to be very enjoyable to read. I had trouble putting the book down! The story itself was very well put together. Things are revealed slowly to keep the suspense and allow the reader to develop his/her own theories. The author reveals clues appropriately and it was fun to then put all the pieces together and realize what's going on. I also loved that one of the questions asked in the book is never answered. It was a nice touch. Two things bothered me about the book, however, but they were very minor. As with many of these books, the author had some of the naming wrong. Within SG-1, each character has a specific name for every other character. For example, Jack does not call Daniel "Jackson", but "Daniel". Teal'c does not call Sam "Carter", but "MajorCarter", etc. The other issue I have with the Fandemonium books is the typos and spelling errors. There were a few throughout the book, and I always cringe when I see them. I realize not everyone has enjoyed this one, but I really did. I was a great team story (Jack/Sam/Daniel/Teal'c).

Slow start, classic finish

The story starts out a little bit slow and confusing, and takes a while to gain momentum. When everything finally clicks into place, the action is classic SG-1. I think the title of the book, "Relativity" is sort of a pun as regards to two of the characters, but I won't spoil that surprise. TV Characters in the story are: Jack O'Neill, Sam Carter, Teal'c, Daniel Jackon, General Hammond, Dr. Warner, Dr. Lee, and Vice President Kinsey. Also playing a central role are the Re'Tu and the Aschen. Just like other Aschen-related story lines from the TV series, this one includes time travel to stop an ill-advised treaty. Most of the characters are depicted pretty well, except for Hammond who seems a little flat. Kinsey is expertly portrayed. While not the best novel in this series, it is satisfactory if you can push past the slow start.

Love Stargate

Well, all true fans of Stargate SG-1 know that you can't keep an awesome program down...if the network fails the show, the show will live on! Love the book..actually love all the books for the show!

Stargate SG-1: Relativity

Perfectly classic. Touches on the nature and mood of the charactors quite well. The ending is well developed and classy. Just like watching an episode in a week of spare stolen time. I've read several Stargate and Atlantis stories now, and really admire the attention to detail the authors are able to bring out.

Love it.

I own all of the Stargate:SG1 and Stargate:Atlantis books from Fanedmonium, and this is another in a great list of great books. I really enjoyed the plot line of this one.
