STARGATE - SG1 - Four Dragons [NOOK Book]

Recommended

For the most part I enjoyed this book. But it was more for the parts without Daniel, since most of his time was taken up being a prisoner of and chatting with Lord Yu over a game designed by Lord Yu. The rest of the book was devoted to how to rescue Daniel. While it had good bits in it, I thought the author made Bra'tac look very foolish in a few scenes. Daniel has not been "descended" for very long before he is captured by Lord Yu, and after he and Jack have had one of their rather monumental bickerfests, leaving both wishing they had made up before Daniel disappears. Daniel's rescue is contingent on getting an ok from the President, who then had to get approval from the Chinese government since the rescue involves dealing with China's history. The Chinese will only approve if one of their ambassadors is allowed to watch the rescue via a mini telecommunications ball (as we've seen used in various SG1 episodes). And the ambassador will only approve the mission if SG1 is not armed with anything more dangerous than a zat gun. After much argument and bickering, the mission goes ahead, and we switch back and forth between where Daniel is being held; the view from the ship which SG1 and Bratac are using to rescue Daniel; and the briefing room at the SGC where Ambassador Huang and SGC staff can watch the proceedings. There is something of a twist of an ending, but we are left sort of disappointed, like "that's it?" However, apparently the author has a sequel in mind for this story, so it isn't actually finished with this one. I'm hoping for resolution on various issues in the next book. This is not one of my favorite SG1 novels, but I was kept entertained throughout it.

excellent

All I can say, one book I will read again

Okay Read

I had high hopes for this book. It is set in a part of the series I really enjoyed. The story starts off good, but I feel it gets knocked off course about half way through the story. Instead of focusing on Jack and Daniel, like I was hoping, some of the other characters seemed to highjack the storyline. Even more disappointing was the ending. It just seems to come to an end without any real resoluion for the characters. Over all, I enjoyed reading the book, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

This was an enjoyable story but it left a number of loose ends which I hope will be tied up in a later book.
