I’m back and finally making a start on the expansive collection of Fandemonium-published Stargate novels! For the purposes of this project, I’ve chosen to read the novels in the order they were published, rather than where they would sit chronologically within the franchise. So, without further ado... Blurb Tyros – an ancient society teetering on the …
Books Of The Month: March
Well, it looks like this latest round-up is going to be short and sweet because the number of books I managed to read throughout March was a big, fat zero. Okay, so that’s unfair. I did start reading a few books – I just haven’t finished any of them yet (the reasons for this are probably pretty …
Books Of The Month: February
There’s a reason this blog post is so late, and that is purely because I thought I’d posted it already. (File that under “oopsie”). February, as it turned out though, was a very busy month in general so I didn’t get to read as often as I wanted – but I guess two books are …
Book Review: The Morpheus Factor
This time we’re looking at The Morpheus Factor – the final tie-in novel from Ashley McConnell. It was first published in February 2001 and is set during season 3.

Hello February, My Old Friend
I don’t think I’m alone in saying this… but January seemed to last forever (certainly longer than its five calendar weeks, anyway). I guess it’s because the run-up to Christmas is such a busy time and the general feeling of festivity that’s in the air is nice and comforting, so by the time you get …
Books of the Month: January
It’s been a busy start to the year but I did manage to set time aside throughout January to read some books and I’m really happy with what I managed to complete. Before I give a run-down of my list, I should say that I don’t have a specific reading list to get through, so …

Book Review: The Price You Pay

Book Review: Stargate SG-1
In addition to the Goodreads challenge I’ve set myself this year (you can read more about it here and a progress report will be coming next week), I’ve also decided some of these books are going to include my vast Stargate novel collection. There are six tie-in novels for the movie, but I’m ignoring those for …
Finding Fandom Through The Stargate
I originally wrote this series for GateWorld last year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Stargate. The sci-fi movie started the journey in 1994 but it’s the television series that kept it going in the years following, via Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe. Even though no new episodes of these shows have aired since …
