Review by Nathan P. Butler
As far as novelizations of films go, this one is a real treat. Yeah, it has a few things that are glaringly different between it and the Stargate SG-1 continuity, but, then, so does the movie itself. That's the peril of having a continuation made by someone other than the original creators.
The novelization, for its part, adds more depth, more backstory, and certainly more characterization than the film itself, making it a fun read. Not a lot of surprises, of course, but that's to be expected from any film novelization. The real fun starts in Stargate: Rebellion, the first spin-off novel in Bill McCay's original continuation of the film's storylines, published years before Stargate SG-1 was conceived.
Rating: * * * 1/2
