The first installment of the brand new series of Stargate audio adventures has arrived! Big Finish Productions has releases Series 3: Part One, a 3-hour adventure that stars Michael Shanks (“Daniel Jackson”), Claudia Black (“Vala Mal Doran”), and Cliff Simon (“Baal”).
Part One includes three stories: “Half Life,” written by James Swallow (“Relativity,” “Nightfall,” “Halcyon”), “An Eye for an Eye” by Sally Malcolm (“The Cost of Honor,” “A Matter of Honor”), and “Infiltration” by Steve Lyons.
Here’s how the studio describes the overall story line, set during Season Ten:
A shooting in the heart of Stargate Command is only the beginning for Daniel Jackson and Vala Mal Doran.
Suddenly it’s friend against friend, none of their allies can be relied upon and they’re the universe’s only hope to foil the latest scheme concocted by the last System Lord, Ba’al.
Will Daniel, Vala and a few of Vala’s less than savoury friends be enough to stop a conspiracy that reaches deep into the heart of Stargate Command and threatens to destroy everything they’ve spent years building?
The audio book runs £30 GBP for the 3-CD set or £25 for a digital download. This is a full dramatic production with voice acting, music, and sound effects.
Have a listen to the 2-minute series trailer for a taste!

I haven’t purchased any of the audio books, in part because they seem very pricey. Can anyone vouch for them? Are they any good?
@Cay: I bought all the SGA ones and one or two SG-1 ones and most were good. Check out GoodReads, I wrote a review for every one of the audiobooks I own, 8 of them. I’m not sure if GW would allow me to post a direct link.
Is it just me, or does Michael Shanks not sound like himself in a lot of the trailer? I guess it’s kind of a reading voice, and not an acting voice. Whereas Claudia Black sounds perfect.
I own all of the audio dramas….sooooo worth the money. This one is even better then the previous seasons as it has more cast members and feels like a bigger production. I hope they keep making these!
There is good reason why Shanks sounds a little off in the traier. :) Ten minutes into it you won’t have any issues. Really, these three are the most fun recordings I’ve had from Big Finish. The quality of recording and sound effects is excellent. Shanks and Black are pitch perfect. Great new characters. Really looking forward to the next series. Only issue is Baal is a little too “kneel before your god” but hey, with a hundred clones out there, who knows when you are going to get a throw back of that kind? The first story is my… Read more »
Where does these stories take place? I mean it has to be before Continuum because Baal is still alive and before Atlantis Season 5, because[SPOILER] the Sun Tzu is in the stories.
