Let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of stargate and have read a lot of fanfiction. I was very undecided about purchasing this book because I was actually looking for something set further in the series. (This book is set after the show "emancipation") But out of sheer desperation to get my stargate fix, I decided to purchase this book. And WOW, it was great. The author got the characters just right. The story is wonderfull, full of action, adventure, suspense and the requisite evil goau'ld.

I recomend this book highly

Sacrifice Moon, by Julie Fortune, is, hands down, the best Stargate SG-1 book.

But more than that, it is a very good book on its own merits -- well written; good characterization; a very nice "team" feel. It is set very early in the series so the characters are getting to know each other, and we find out more about them. There is exploration, and first contact with an alien culture, but the mission turns dark quickly and the adventures start coming fast and furious as the tension mounts.

I strongly recommend this book. Enjoy!

Finally someone who knows the characters well enough so that you can see them as you read. The author took me on a journey without trying to using every Jack-ism ever utterd, or back flashing to a dozen past episodes every five minutes. Julie Fortune has hit it right on the Sg-1 head, just enough Daniel spout to move the story along. Smooth diolaog and a firm plot. There are acutely some tense moments that came out of her good story telling, not stilted peril. I hope to see her name on future SG-1 novels, heaven knows we need someone who can be true to the spirt of series.
