I enjoyed this third outing in the Legacy series of Stargate Atlantis novels. It wasn't quite as good as the first two, maybe because the main author, Jo Graham, didn't write this one, but she co-authored the first two.
It's hard to review a book mid-series and avoid spoilers. Super hard! The plot centers around the search for Dr. McKay, the defense of Atlantis against the Wraith queen Death, and the continued drama of the IOA trying to interfere in the affairs of Atlantis. I felt like this book was more plot-heavy than the first two. Not that it's a bad thing, but I missed the character development of the first two.
I do think this book really captured McKay/Quicksilver, though. For him to be so Wraithy, yet so much still himself . . . it really shone through in this particular narrative. All three of the authors in this series have a good grasp of these well-established and well-loved characters, which is not an easy thing to find in TV/movie-based novels.
