I fully enjoyed reading this book. It kept you on the edge of your seat, as it took you from one group to the next group. You wanted to read faster yo find out what was happening to the first group. Now this book made up for Mirror Mirror. That ATA gene really comes in handy, huh? This book really shows another and darker side of prejudice.
Also, just how determined and strong the connection is between the Wraith and their Queen.
Would say more about that, but too many spoilers. This book is a bit too dark for any Stargate story. I love Stargate Atlantis, but some of this story is more like a horror movie. Not only that, but it makes Rodney look stupid and ridiculously short with everyone. In the series, Rodney has an attitude that is right at the boarder of being too annoying which I think gives him a great charisma , but in this story the author makes it look like he's on the boarder of exploding in literally every conversation.
Lots of funny banter from the team. See all 22 reviews.

May 27, Brenda rated it did not like it Shelves: Stargate Atlantis is one of my all-time favorite shows.
That being said, there were still episodes of the show that I thought were boring and didn't care for. This novel is like one of those episodes. Except that it was lasting a lot longer than the 40 or so minutes than an episode would last, so I gave up on it. This one was co-written by two authors, and you could really tell.
The style seemed to change back and forth, and that bothered me a bit. So all in all, this one just didn't have a lot g Stargate Atlantis is one of my all-time favorite shows. So all in all, this one just didn't have a lot going for it. Hopefully the next SGA novel will be better. The POV switching was a bit confusing but that could be an artifact of Kindle formatting. Rodney was very season 1 Rodney so a bit much at times. I prefer the Rodney of later seasons. Aug 19, Ida Leter rated it liked it. I was on board for about a third of it, then the plot gotten way too convoluted.

They should have left it as a social commentary, but dealing with a full blown wraith invasion that was as convoluted as a season finale 3 parter just made it too drawn out. Aug 07, Stephanie Jo Hanauer rated it it was amazing. Another great addition to the series! Please see extended review of this series under my "read" book, Stargate Atlantis 2, Reliquary.

The Chosen (Stargate Atlantis, #3) by Sonny Whitelaw
Quite a bit of action and while I didn't care for so much tension between the team members. Also, while things were tense, it never felt like they were going to 'split up'. More like they were just annoyed at each other, and stressed by the situation. The plot is not a 'funny' or 'feel good' plot.
Its surprising they don't hit more situations like thi I actually fairly enjoyed this one. Its surprising they don't hit more situations like this. The big thing I did not care for, is the whole 'its our fault' theme that ran so long with the team. THey kept blaming themselves, despite evidence they just had bad timing, right through the end.
Yet, as the reader, I did not see any way that it was 'their fault'. They might have made it a little worse than it might have been just by bringing something new into the mix. And in the end they did a LOT to help the people of Dalera. For all they were thanked. I did find Rodney excessively arrogant in this one. So, yeah, a bit heavy handed, but all in all an interesting story and a good addition to the SGA pile. Jan 05, Mini rated it liked it Shelves: Major Sheppard and Dr McKay were born to rule. Or maybe it was it serve Anyway, they turn out to be members of the Chosen and they throw Daleran society into crisis somewhat earlier than it would otherwise have been thrown into crisis much angsting is enjoyed by all , causing many frustrations to boil over because like many menfolk they have trouble locating, understanding and properly stimulating the clitoris.
In fact, I'm pretty sure it was actually a diagram of a vagina cleverly veiled in euphemism. They might have labelled the all important spot the Enclave, but only blind virgin would be fooled into thinking it anything other than a clitoris located above the vaginal opening Citadel , beneath the mons veneris Black Hill and between the protective fold of the vulva the four parts of the city walls. This is probably only to be expected when Ancient women found their own eponymous cities and societies.
And yes, in case you are wondering, by the end of the tale Dalera is well and truly breached.

Feb 25, Sarai rated it really liked it Shelves: WOW so if I were to suggest a book out of this series so far it would be this one. Yes I know I told you that book 2 was done by an author I adore and it was okay I promise. Now keep in mind this author had about half of season 1 to learn all the different thought and actions of the team but, wow. Good job Sonny Whitelaw you have restored my faith in this series and I am for sure buying any and all of them. He could feel the babies' confusion, their unease. It's ok, little guys. John opened his eyes. Gonna be a dad. You got the family.
Can you … feel them right now? And—" Another wave of pain suddenly crashed into him, taking his breath away. His energy shivered at her heartfelt cry. She was more than worried. Still a couple of minutes out. I need you … His heart skipped a beat. He could feel her fear. I'm almost there, I swear. Just hold on, baby. John … I can't … He tightened a hold on their connection.
You can do this. John inhaled sharply as another wave of agony punched him squarely in the gut. But he had little time to respond as another powerful punch came again. Why wasn't he giving her anything for the pain? He reached out, once again to reassure and soothe away her pain. But the more he focused on her, the more his confusion grew.
The cramping agony slowly started to spread. He tried again, but her pain still wasn't easing. His powers had never been so powerful, so why weren't his energies working? What the hell was going on? His heart and energies stumbled at the sudden silence. Something was terribly wrong. He could feel it. There was a strange presence, a distinct yet faint foreign pulse of ice cold heat threading through his energy … Ice. As old as time itself. Teyla … He needed to see. Reality abruptly collided with fantasy.
Images collapsed, emotions ruptured. White light faded to a flushed pink. Distorting … There was no beach.
No Rodney, no Ronon. Pink whirled to crimson. Hindering … He was alone. Crimson to blood red lava. Suppressing … It wasn't her pain; it was his. This was his own personal hell. Every single one was slowly devoured. He couldn't breathe … Teyla! Excruciating heat, indescribable pain. Breathe … Yet she couldn't shake it. She'd heard his gentle utterances of love … He'd been coming home. A solitary tear slid down her cheek. It had felt so real. But it was just one more exquisite dream to torment her.
So many hopes, so many tears had fallen as reality had brought her tumbling down. Yet not once had she ever felt pain. Could it be …? The sound of silence was her only companion. The deep ache in her heart strengthened as her hope faded. It had been twenty-three days since she'd truly felt his magical warmth. Twenty-three days since she'd seen his playful smile. Twenty-three days … It felt like a time without end. All was silent, all was still.
She gently stroked the hardened swell of her stomach. Never had she resented their almost telepathic connection more than she did now. She brought it to her face, her eyes slipped closed as she inhaled deeply. It was faint, but it was still there. It still smelled of him. Her strength evaporated, and she sank down into his chair. She bowed her head, buried her face in his shirt, and wept. The author would like to thank you for your continued support.
