The First Amendment by Ashley McConnell
4.0
The story is centred around a reporter, the son of Senator Kinsey, who is taken for a tour around Cheyenne Mountain, and he sees more than he bargained for! Whilst I think this is a brilliant stand-alone book, I do think you need to have seen the series, and have some idea who Senator Kinsey is, and why he is integral to the plot. I do agree in place, the author repeats some of the ideas which have been stated on the show, I don't think this is tiresome or boring to read, I think it just reinforces the plot development.
Again, its been mentioned, but a lot of the story is set in the mountain complex, which personally I liked. It can some of the background characters a voice, and was a nice change of direction from SG-1 on centre stage. Similarly, it seemed General Hammond had more of a presence which I loved. So, it can be said the story is slow, however, I enjoyed this. Whilst I do agree the ending was a bit rushed, I felt this kept with the series - there are some episode I watch when SG-1 are in deadly situation and only 5 minutes left to go! And amazingly they end up back at the base with a few scratches! Role ending credits! So I think the book keeps with that theme, and much of the action is in the last couple of chapters, I enjoyed this!
Overall, I think any fan will love this, and it keeps with the themes and characters of the SG world.
