This is too close to SGA (Star Gate Atlantis) for me to rate it as an original work. The characters are almost identical, if with different names, the enemy aliens are very similar to the Wraith of SGA, and there is no real reason why the team is in the galaxy they are in (the one dissimilarity with SGA), which makes the whole premise more than shaky for me.

I saw alot of reviews comparing this to SGA fanfiction. Since I've never watched the show (and therefore never read fanfic about it), I liked this book. Interesting cast of characters, creepy insect like enemies (ewww!).

Pacing seems a little slow to start out with, but I quicking warmed up to the characters. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

2.5-3 stars. While I enjoyed the story, I didn't really feel the romantic relationship between the main characters.

DNF - maybe continue another time...
