that SGA tie-in novel Exogenesis...

I've finished reading the SGA tie-in novel Exogenesis by Sonny Whitelaw and Elizabeth Christensen, and I mostly liked the action-adventure part, though I keep getting surprised by just how more creepy and morally corrupt the Ancients are in the tie-in novels even compared to the series where they are of somewhat dubious character to begin with. However the strong presence of emotionally damaged woobie!Rodney really wasn't my thing. Also, I continue to find the way the expedition treats the Athosians when the former once again triggered a disaster that affects everybody disturbing.

Thanks. I think I'll be skipping that one. I mostly have the SG-1 tie-ins...just finished Siren's Song and now I'm rereading Roswell...and I've been wanting to pick up more of the Atlantis, but that one sounds a little iffy.

Oh yeah, that one was like the episode The Tower, only a little more detailed in how the Ancient-descendants became the ruling class.

I also like the books that still have Ford in 'em. I miss Ford.
