About the author

Sally Malcolm was bitten by the m/m romance bug in 2016 and hasn’t looked back. It’s fair to say she’s obsessed with the genre. She has four contemporary m/m romances out, set in the fictional Long Island seaside town of New Milton.

She's also the author of eight Stargate novels and novellas, including the hit "Apocalypse" trilogy. She has penned four Stargate audio dramas for Big Finish Productions, including Stargate SG-1: "An Eye for an Eye" starring Michael Shanks, Claudia Black, and Cliff Simon.

Sally lives in South West London.

Gorra luv it

I have waited too long for this book and it can't be the last. These stories state a fundamental truth that Stargate stories don't need TV to entertain. Kudos to all the writers and please crank up some more stories... Soon.

Disclaimer: I am friends with the editor and multiple authors in this collection; I purchased a hardcopy of this book from one of the authors for full price.

Favorite Story
“The Mysteries of Emege” by Jo Graham: I could say that the ending of this story had enough emotional impact to bring me to tears and leave it at that. Graham brings Teyla and the Athosian people to life as they face an uncertain future. She doesn’t reduce them to a mono-culture that all wants the same thing, and the story also includes some subtle critique on the “colonizer” attitude of those from Earth, as well-meaning as it appears.

Story I’d Like to See Expanded
“Going Home” by Aaron Rosenberg: Plenty of Stargate SG-1 episodes featured Team O’Neill facing conflict on Earth, but I wish there could have been more “fish out of water” episodes bringing Team Sheppard to Earth in Stargate Atlantis. This story by Rosenberg fills that gap to humorous effect, especially with the opening scene. Though this story works as a stand-alone piece of story fiction, many questions are left unanswered that I’d love to see expanded on.

Another amazing anthology of new Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis short-stories. It also has two stories from fans that won a Stargate writing contest. Here we get a even assortment of adventures for both series. A few take place after the Legacy series but could be enjoyed without having had read the 8 book series. I enjoyed the humor and action. As always the characters are written so well that these shorts could have been episodes. Simply wonderful.

Unfortunately there were some spoilers here as I’ve not yet read the Legacy series. I nearly didn’t read those stories which came after legacy, but decided to in the end. I shall want to reread them once I’ve got hold of the whole legacy set.
I really enjoyed the fan written stories, and wouldn’t have picked them out if I hadn’t known so kudos to them. As a fanfic writer myself I am always encouraged to read good fan fiction.
I would welcome a volume 4.

Step through the Gate, and into adventure! (okay, okay, I know that was cheesy)

But this, the third anthology in the Stargate novel series, is a great experience. Each of its tales is full of well-rounded characters and action. It could be an adaptation of an episode.

The only downside is that it still doesn't have any content from Stargate Universe.

I'm a huge fan of SG-1 and Atlantis but when it comes to books I never manage to get into the ones based around SG-1. This collection of short stories was no different. I got a kick out of the Atlantis stories that took place after the Legacy series (and the ones that didn't) but the SG-1 stories did nothing for me, especially the ones (most of them) set during the shows early seasons.

[Ida Leter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Definitely a mixed bag. Some stories are rather enjoyable, some - decidedly less so. Definitely a bit too abrupt, even for short stories, some could use a bit more intrigue, a bit more meat on the bones.

[Denise · Rating 4 out of 5]

The third volume of SGA and SG-1 stories. As usual, a bit of a mixed bag. Given how much I love the Legacy 'verse, which I rather doubt I'll ever get tired of, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the two stories set within it where my favourites from this anthology.

Great stories, very entertaining and nostalgic trip back through the gate!

[Beenee Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yay short stories!! I loved these!

[Alyce Caswell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely awesome. Some of these stories as good as - if not better - than episodes from both shows.

[Frank Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

An enjoyable collection.

Liked most of them

I enjoyed almost all of the stories except Going Home where the author was careless with the details and the characters were off. Kinda wished there were half star ratings as I'd rather rate this as 3.5 stars.
