As a person that liked the spinoff TV serie Stargate Atlantis I really liked this book as the cresendo of the legend serie so far. I really enjoyed this book and thought it was really exciting.
This is not my Atlantis charactersJohn and Teyla are NOT a couple…Richard is not DickThe characters are so far off it makes me cringe.
I can't read these books fast enough!
AwsomeWhat I can avoid this trilogy that would say I. Previous it great book and love if I would recommend to every one who loved sci fy
I liked this one a lot. It's better than the preceding books in the Legacy series. Here, we learn about the origins of the Wraith. An ancient doomsday device is discovered, along with an eerie old lab facility / prison. The Floating City of Atlantis finally gets a ZPM to power her shields and hyperdrive, etc. We see giant polar bears, tiny telepathic bioluminescent squids, and industrious cochlea.The character development is solid. Ronan and Rodney must deal with personal stuff and shifting pers...
A fine example of what a tie-in novel should be. The authors expand on the characters we love from the show, even minor ones, and add a few new background characters who round the world out. Most importantly here, they have examined the origin of the Wraith and the morality of the way the Atlantis team interacts with them, and made the show's universe richer.Plot lines are starting to get tied up, with the next book being the last in this post-show series. Rodney finally plays a larger part in t...
It's great to finally find out how the wraith were made.Making McKay (view spoiler)[backtrack on his progress as a likeable character by creepishly hitting on Carter again after Keller dumped him was disappointing. He really didn't evolve as a character. I heard the creators said they ended the relationship because they "don't do romance", which doesn't make sense since they started one between John and Teyla. (hide spoiler)] More action and less soap opera stuff would be nice, so this book was
At first this book seemed a bit of a drag, I knew everyone was okay and in one piece and in no immediate danger. This makes for a very dull read when you're wading through half a dozen chapters, waiting for everyone to reunite so the reals story can start. Then it dragged on some more, bogging us down in political hoops and making no real progress as it disguised a lack of anything interesting in the human camp by throwing us some dream sequences about Wraith history which we already knew. Jus
Rodney is rescued but is still part wraith. Teyla looks into her genetic past, and finds out information about the original wraith queen. This is a good read, all character based. Though read the other 4 books before this one for it to make sense. I think the Rodney and Jennifer story within this book was really well done. A good read.
The previous volume of the Stargate Atlantis: Legacy series, “The Furies”, felt a bit thin on action, even if the characterization work was as solid as it has ever been for the post-finale epic. As it turns out, there was a very good reason for that: it serves as a prelude to all of the tension and revelation in this novel.Teyla’s turn as Steelflower is not just a way to explore the oft-mentioned Wraith elements of her DNA; it becomes the conduit for certain genetic memories that factor into som...
So many secrets uncovered! So many questions answered!Great plot twists and back story teasers in this edition. There are so many great moment in this book that I cannot share because Spoilers! So you're just going to have to read and find out for you self.
The characters are spot on, as usual, and seeing behind the scenes into the Wraith has been fascinating. There was not a huge amount of action as all the pieces are aligning for the big finale. I am hoping that this book is the equivalent to the moment in an episode where it looks like they may not be able to survive but by the end they somehow do. Everyone is being pushed to their limits and Rodney's stuff has just been heartbreaking. There was a kind of bittersweet quality to the story and I a...
In Secrets we finally learn the full origin story of the Wraith, and the authors of this series have done a brilliant job with it. Teyla delves into the ancestral memories left to her by the Wraith queen she is descenced from and discovers a clue to something that might highly valuable in the battle against Queen Death. Rodney may have been rescued, but the recovery from his ordeal is hard and he may never quite return to the way he was. And a chance encounter on a planet Teyla's glimpses of mem...
I don't know what else to say than that I love these characters so much. We finaly get closure on some things. Only thing is that I really don't like Ronon much. I get his motivations but I am not as connected to him as to others. Overall great book for anyone who loves Stargate.
Dang if this book didn’t leave me hungering for the next. Which is what I’m starting now!
I enjoyed this oneI've enjoyed this one more than the previous ones. I like the history explained. Things are coming to a head now.
THINGS FINALLY HAPPEN OMG. Wasn't terribly surprised to get confirmation that the Wraith were created by the Ancients, as I've never really seen the Ancients as good beings. They don't give a shit about humans, they see humans as lower than pets, just there to worship them and serve as guinea pigs. Hell, the Ori don't seem quite so bad now, do they?Kind of bothered by Ronon's reaction to Rodney. Yes, I know, Ronon has a hatred for all things Wraith, but it's Rodney. Rodney has come back to himse...
Finally we learn where the Wraith come from. That was probably the best part of this book. And then there is Rodney. Like he isn't socially inept enough now he has the stigma of being a Wraith. His transformation back to human was interesting. But the most interesting part is just how much Wraith is left? I can hardly wait to read the next installment. This one ended on a good cliff hanger!
This book had much more in the way of character development than the previous ones, making it much more interesting to me. The way it spun the story of the origins of the Wraith was fascinating, and ties them together with humans in an interesting way.That being said, the grammar in this book was atrocious, on par with a hastily-posted fan fiction story as opposed to an officially published work. I expect a typo or two in most books, but it was so poor here that it became distracting.Also, the a...
I enjoyed Secrets more than the last installment, 'the Furies.' Secrets was a bit more true the spirit of the original television series with less of the author's personal political agenda slipped in throughout the pages. The origins of the Wraith were finally revealed--believable and creative, worth waiting for. Fans of the show SGA would probably approve.
