Stargate - It's A Great Big World!

StargateStargate by Dean Devlin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Long ago, in the outer reaches of one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way Galaxy, in a solar system centered on The Sun on the 3rd planet from that sun, two men - Dean Devlin and Roland Emerich wrote a novel that mixed Egyptian mythology, science, the US military, aliens, adventure, romance and what has become known as a stargate (StarGate in the novel). Later, the book would become a movie and the movie would spawn one of the most successful science fiction television series in the history of that genre. As novelizations go, this one isn't too bad. It has extra scenes in it and inner dialogue that adds much to the story told in the movie. Devlin and Emerich are decent writers. The novel is well paced and makes for great casual reading. And, if you're a stargate freak like me, you'll want to read it, even though it's not canon to the TV series.
