Is this Canon?
Fandemonium novels are considered as canon among most fans, as long as they are not contradicted by the Wright-Cooper series or movies.
No, novels are not currently canon. But they are written and checked to fit into the established canon and not contradict it.

Considering what a completely forgettable, uninspired, and basically filler episode the Entity was, I can’t believe someone would consider it a lead in novel to it.

I’ll buy a copy just to show the publishers that there is a market…. then, maybe, they’ll eventually get around to doing some Stargate: Universe titles.
