On September 16th, “Death Game” by
jo_grahamwill be hitting bookstores. I'm extremely excited because I've been reading Jo's LJ and from her generous Q&A's and tidbits about writing the novel, I know it's going to rock! For one, she's is a successful writer with several published
“historical/fantasy novels”, but she's also a huge fan and her knowledge of the characters and the meta shows in many of her posts.
We are incredibly lucky as a fandom to have so many gifted fan-fic writers supplying us with a steady supply of adventures which have made some of the most recent tie-in novels a bit of a disappointment in terms of characterization and quality. “Death Game” looks to be a fun adventure set in early Season Two and most importantly, where each member of the team has a chance to shine.
The first chapter of the novel
“can be found at this post” and few more in depth peaks to the plot are
“posted ” “at these entries”. I'm pimping this novel, not only because I'm excited to have something new and shiny to read by an author who is touch with the show, but the book will have a few set-up pieces for the upcoming six book “Legacy” series set at the end of “Enemy at the Gate”
I'm super-stoked about the “Legacy” series because all the characters are going to have there own plot-lines along with the team, and unlike some of the older books, no one's going to be ignored. There will be plenty of John, Rodney, Teyla, Ronon, Sam, Jack, Radek, Todd, Lorne, Woolsey, Carson and Jennifer. The dates and summaries of those books are
“here”.If you've ever been interested about the writing process,
jo_graham has chronicled the type of planning and thought put into a book series which is both enlightening and I think will pump-up readers for the upcoming novels.
No, I'm not a paid sponsor, I'm just genuinely excited for the books and for an author who I think has put a lot of effort in creating something for all of us to enjoy. I want to rally other fans who might have drifted away from the tie-in-novels and give these a chance!
(Oh and did I say there was going to be plenty of action/adv and hurt/comfort?) hmmm, maybe I forgot :D
