Stargate Atlantis: Homecoming: SGA-16 Book

First book in the Stargate Atlantis "Legacy" e-series, derivative of the television series Stargate Atlantis, which concluded with lots of loose ends. I wanted to know the rest of the story, especially about Todd / Guide the ancient Wraith, and his uneasy alliance (brotherhood) with Colonol John Sheppard. This book was good, with lots of Todd + Sheppard moments. I liked that. Todd ' starving near death ' won't feed on someone who looks like John Sheppard, and John won't let the scientists on Earth use Todd as a lab rat.

It ends on a major cliffhanger, with an essential character captured by the Wraith. An entertaining story, but slow to get off the ground. The first half is set on Earth, with all the politics of intergalactic policy and governance. The writing quality is okay, however, the authors have included too many inner thoughts, memories of TV episode plots, feelings, etc. Also, they are creating a thing between Sheppard and Teyla, and ending her affair with Kanaan, Torren's father. I'd rather not go there. Too soapy.

This book feels quite different from the television series, yet it belongs within the same space, if that makes sense.
