Title: Nice Info, Not Much Action
Product review: I learned things I've never known about NORAD and I really liked seeing how the fictional SGC worked in conjunction with what I assume is real info about NORAD. McConnell's clearly done her research. The characters, as with all of her SG books, ring true, but the late-story action comes off as second banana. The aliens this time are Bug-eyed Monsters reminicent of 1950s s-f and the final event feels a bit contrived. McConnell's writing is smooth--as is her speculation about what could happen if the Gate was exposed felt realistic. If you adjust your expectations, it's well worth the read.
