Stargate Atlantis novel: Angelus
by Peter J. Evans

This is a snippet of a forthcoming SGA novel:

"So we're screwed." Ellis rubbed his chin, still glaring at the map. "We can't get a true picture of what's going on, and what we don't know could kill us."

"Yeah," Carter added grimly. "If the Wraith find out where Atlantis is, they'll swarm us. If the Replicators find out, they'll do worse. The city's long range sensors are great at picking up moving objects, but as for what those objects are doing... Righ tnow I feel like a kid caught up in a bar fight, hiding under the table. I can hear the pool cues on heads, but I don't dare stick my own head out to see where the danger is."

Ellis had been in a few bar rights in his time, although he had normally been wielding the cue. "But McKay says he's got a plan?"

"Hasn't he always?" Carter had smiled at him, briefly. "He's gone all retro on us. A series of early-warning sensors, dropped into these systems here..."


A listing is up at Amazon, but no details.

This looks to be the first novel based in season 4.

So...was Mirror Mirror #9 or #10? Because if this is #11 I'm missing one.

There's also one by James Swallow listed for November this year (on Amazon UK, that is) called Nightfall (as well as an audio CD written by him and narrated by David Nykl sometime this year called Zero Point). Um, can't see any details on Nightfall, so no idea which season it is set.

Still awaiting Mirror, Mirror - it was suposed to be an early August release but my new delivery date says mid to late September now! Not fair!!

Angelus is stated as a December release...but the last couple or more have been delayed in the UK for some reason, so I don't hold much faith in the release dates any more!

Humm- "retro" eh? Is he gonna get the mullet back?

Seriously- excited about this book. Not too excited about Ellis. But thanks for the info.

Angelus will be the second S4-era novel. James Swallow posted in the Ask the Authors thread on GW (http://forum.gateworld.net/showpost.php?p=8614258&postcount=1286) that Nightfall (scheduled for November 25, according to Amazon.com) will also be set in S4. I'm feeling kinda meh on the both of them.

Right now I feel like a kid caught up in a bar fight, hiding under the table. I can hear the pool cues on heads, but I don't dare stick my own head out to see where the danger is.

Carter says this? Doesn't sound like her at all! Think I'll stick with fanfic. It's usually better than the novels. But thanks for posting this passage from the book. I wasn't aware until now that a November release was planned.
