very slow, but still enjoyable

Decent sequel ...
The second book of the Apocalypse series. Teal'c is kind of a bastard to Jack, whereas Daniel and Jack are in agreement for once. Sam is kind of all over the place, but is mostly believable.

Really loving this trilogy, absolutely engrossing. The elaborate Wraith culture and terminology created by the authors of the Stargate Atlantis: Legacy series is brilliant, I'm very much thrilled to get more of it here. I called the final twist in this one about two pages before it happened - another hell of a cliffhanger, so on to the next one ASAP!

I still dislike the idea/premise, but it's so well executed that I couldn't put the book down - even when I knew what the next reveal would be (it did seem rather obvious).

This is the second book in the Apocalypse series. The first one is Hostile Ground (Stargate SG-1 #25) which I thought was amazing! I was really looking forward to reading the second in the trilogy, but this book fell a little flat for me. There were some really good moments that are well worth the read, but it didn't pull me in as much as the first book. Bouncing between timelines was distracting. By the end, I understood why it was written in such a way, but it dragged on.
The ending was powerful. I'm not one to put a book down often and I'm glad I continued reading because the ending made up for the slow pace of the novel. I was not expecting that ending! Of course, now I definitely have to read the third book in the series to find out what happens next!
I still enjoyed the characters of this book. The authors did a wonderful job writing the team members of SG-1. The actions and reactions were believable for these characters. The tension between the team was suspenseful, making you wonder how (or if!) they were going to get through this together.
I'm excited to see what's next for the team!

This is the second part of the Apocalypse series and the book takes place right after the first part. As in the first book, the story jumps between two timelines. SG-1's storyline takes place almost 100 hundred years after the apocalypse, while Janet Fraiser's storyline follows the events right after the apocalypse.
The events in the future were very exciting, although Jack's idea of disbanding SG-1 seemed strange. I can understand his decision, but it just felt odd. All in all, this is a very interesting story, full of surprising twists. This story deserves four or even five stars.
Although Janet's story is as exciting as SG-1's, I can't say I like this part of book. I have never been interested in political power plays and this part of the book is mainly about the NID trying to control the new alpha site. Janet becomes a pawn in this power game and in the end she is pushed into a corner she can't escape from. Although the story is well written, I just can't give it more than two stars.
The end of the book connects both storylines and is breath taking to say the least. It's packed with emotions, the descriptions fit perfectly and it made me want to read the next part as soon as possible. Hopefully they will be able to stop this future from happening in the next book.

As if the premature waking of the dreaded Wraith wasn't enough, BAM! A malfunction in the Stargate brings the SG-1 forward in time by 100 years!
Turns out that, without our heroes to stop the DIN's plots, the Alliance fractures and Earth becomes hunting ground for Goa'uld and Wraith. Humanity is close to extinction, and the only solution is to negate this monstrous future from unfolding!
And as if it wasn't enough, SG-1 must try and live by the rules of this grim timeline, for a world in which they are detested strangers...
This is very well written! I'm not a fan of the flashback-flashforward mechanism, but here it works, you can see the connections, you can perceive the sense of hopelessness, you can see the stakes. This future is as solid as the present time, and Stargate fans won't be let down by this second chapter in the Apocalypse trilogy!

I - I...I mean...Oh my God! I just - I - I need the next book!!!!!!! The ending. Just. The ending of this book. It gets you in the feels like no other. I loved the look shared between Jack and Daniel, and Sam and Teal'c's reaction to it. They knew what that meant and it does not lie in match with their current goal of getting home.
Sam and Teal'c...cold, man. Just cold. I get it, yes, but still...Geez.
Love that Jack and Daniel are unequivocally on the same page despite the urgency to get home. They just can't forget the people who are in dire need of help.
Both sides are correct, but morally, who is really in the right? Does their actions really matter? Do their choices? God, I can't wait to read the next one.

I was more than little worried this one wouldn't live up to the fascination I had with the first of the Apocalypse trilogy. I had such an awesome time constantly trying to figure out what was going on, going back and forth on various theories, and then ultimately finding out I was right all along. Exile was definitely still good, and definitely still managed to keep the momentum and the mystery and the tension going, buuut... not at quite the same level. Admittedly, I think a lot of it came from my sheer surprise at Hostile Ground, and this time I went in knowing what to expect.
Still, cannot wait to read the final book in the trilogy.

This is the second book in the SG-1 Apocalypse series.
The tension among SG1 is carefully balanced so they each have their opinion about how they should react to the situation in the future timeline without it ever becoming hostile or out of character or slowing down the narrative. I like stories with unlikely alliances, so this book was perfect for me.
The book does a good job of continuing to tie the "present" and future timelines together without answering every question about how the future timeline came to be the way it is, which makes me eager to read the final book.

I loved the first book in this series and the whole concept of this story, but unfortunately, this book dragged on a little for me, I don't even really know why (maybe the whole NID stuff...). It did pick up some pace towards the ending and I cannot wait to learn how all of this going to be wrapped up in the last book.

A bit confusing, but overall a good read; it was good to see Dr. Frasier take a more active role in the story. Small spelling errors that muddled details, but it's interesting to see how SG-1 is coming to terms with reality (Wraith, Goa'uld, and humans) as it stands.

I forgot the twist entirely, and two pages before it happened I said "Ohhhhhh" out loud. 🤣
Really excellent continuation from the first book, with the threat level rising it is definitely a page turner.
Can't wait to start the third one.

Ripped through this one in a matter of hours. I was uncertain about the time travel at first, but I ended up liking it.

Book 2 of 3. I can't put them down. Reading them in rapid succession. Keeping me up late at night. Wow.

Loving this trilogy
An inventive, clever, well-plotted story, with believable characterization. It's a really engaging read. I can't wait to read the third book.

This was great. I'd already figured out who Hecate was though, before it was revealed.

Exile is book #2 in The Apocalypse series, a companion book to the Stargate SG-1 TV shows. These books are set between the TV episodes "One Hundred Days" and "Shades Of Grey". The storyline continues where is left us on a cliff hanger from Book #1 "Hostile Ground".
We now know that the team are on Earth in the year 2098, the story time slips between this future date and what was happening back in the year 2000. Earth was attacked by the alien Apothis and the key US civil and military leaders were evacuated to Maybourne's off-world planet which they have named Arbella. They left the rest of Earth's population to be enslaved by the Goa'uld or die fighting. Colonel Dixon took the second Stargate to Scotland hoping to be remote enough to keep a portal open to safety, but even there the enemy were close.
In 2098 the Wraith group stuck in a broken Hive ship need Jack, they believe he has the ancient blood gene which will help them get back home. They propose a deal, but can they be trusted? Stuck between two enemies The Goa'uld and The Wraith, will SG-1 ever be able to complete their mission and return home? This book still leaves us with unanswered questions, so I'm hoping the next book in the series will soon be published.

Ok, first of all I'm a sucker for the time travel/alternate universe story lines Stargate has been so good at. They don't over use it, and when they do, they do a good job. This book is no exception. The last book, the big reveal at the end caught me off guard, this time it seemed fairly obvious, but I don't know that there is anyway they could have written it to make it a surprise. But it was very well done - I knew it was coming, and still felt a sense of dread as it did. If I had one negative comment about this particular book, it would be that I don't think Tea'lc was written very well this time around. I really think he would have been working with Jack to save people, it's not like there is much he could do while Sam was trying to figure out a way home.
I don't wan to say anything too spoilery...but
***SPOILERS***
Very cool! Gou'ald and Wraith! Awesome.

Book two of the Apocalypse series picks up where book one left off. SG-1 is trying to figure out what happened during their gate back, learning what happened in the time that they missed and discovering allies and enemies. Which is not as easy as it sounds. You would think right away that the Wraith would be the enemy, but no. There's a much more dangerous enemy which leads SG-1 to joint forces with the Wraith. And all through the book, O'Neill's willingness to disband SG-1 haunts the group and the reader. Then when you can take no more, you come to the end of the book. For me that ending was quite the shocker. I was left just staring at the page and I imaging that was exactly how SG-1 felt. It's a direct hit to your gut.
To be continued in Book Three.

This series continues to be a really solid entry in the Stargate novels line, and I'm thrilled that it seems like there will have to be at least one more volume. The parallel-ing timelines both had great readability, and the clash of wills between the SG-1 members (especially Jack & Teal'c) was FANTASTIC. You don't often get this sort of a believable split between strong allies where the reader can see both sides in stories like this.
My only gripe was that the way the story was divided between the two timelines felt to me like they were making the sections too short. It ended up being a little pinball-y going back and forth between the timelines in too rapid succession.

I thought this book was great, I could feel it building towards something and in the end I wasn't disappointed.
The characters were perfectly written, the plot of the story moved along quite nicely, and there were couple of twists that I quite enjoyed.

Good read
I enjoyed this book and found the ending a bit of surprise which is always nice. However, I found it difficult to keep track of where I was in the time line with all of the jumps between groups. Still I recommend this series !

Amazing! Tied up a lot of questions but posed a few more and an epic cliffhanger! Can't wait for book 3
Nice way to add the Wraith and Atlantis earlier, but the team is slowly splitting in two: Jack & Daniel, and Sam & Teal'c. And Janet, Cassie, Dixon.....

Fun read
Although I'm not fond of the wraith story, I like how the authors entwined it with SG-1. And in spite of some missing grammar, it was a fast, fun read. Ready for book 3!

Great continuation of the first book, this book has a huge reveal at the end so if your a gate traveler you won't be disapointed. Looking forward to book three.

I love this book so much! It's an excellent follow up to Hostile Ground.
