 Great story with small irks December 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really liked this book, the whole idea, the adventure, the fact that we saw everybody's POV, including Zelenka's. So, why didn't I give it 5 stars? Well:
a) The author should have definitely let a Czech native speaker take a look at Zelenka's Czech phrases - some of them are totally nonsensical.
b) There were some small mistakes - like the fact that Atlantis' gate had no shield or that McKay liked a lemon cake (on the show, he's allergic to citrus!)
c) It was too bad that for the better part of the book the team was separated - which was the point after all, but I really adore those four working together!
But mostly, the one star lacking is point c). Other than that, the story was truly fascinating and I loved the whole Ikaros thingy.
 Could not stop reading September 10, 2008

Stargate Atlantis: Mirror, Mirror (Stargate Atlantis)
An absolutely fantastic read and if more stories like this made it to TV I'm sure Atlantis wouldn't have been cancelled... The story is a bit confusing at first but that just adds to the effect... The idea is that the team discover a Quantum computer which contains the memory of an Ancient, who in the past built a device capable of elimating the Wraith from history.. However they discover too late that this is where everything goes wrong. The universe as we know it is shattered into various realities.
The book breaks down into the 5 main characters.
Teyla - Has grown old with the knowledge of what has happened. She is considered a witch in this reality as she still has the Wraith DNA inside her.
Rodney - Stuck nearly 1,000 years in the past with no memory of who he is. There is also another person with him but I don't want to spoil it for you.
Sheppard - There are actually 2 of Sheppard, the first half of the book is Major Sheppard, we then meet Colonel Sheppard who slowly takes over from the younger Sheppard.
Elizabeth - Again there are 2, one who is crazy, and the other is part of a cult.
And finally my favourite Ronan's story in a timeline where the Atlanteans never had to battle the Wraith. But they are not the loving caring Ancients we all know and love. They also control all of their "army" with an implant in their brain.
All in all it's is an entralling read and I would reccomend Mirror Mirror to any Sci Fi fan. You don't need to be an Atlantis fan to read this book. :)
