Jim Fulner reviewed Relativity by James Swallow (Stargate: SG-1, #10)
An interesting time-traveling adventrue
3 stars
I liked this book. SG-1 meets a new society called "The Pack" a conglomeration of various races that have escaped the system lords and live a nomadic lifestyle across the galaxy. The Vice President decides it is a great opportunity for him to negotiate an intergalactic trade agreement. An intruder tries to blow up the SGC and calamity ensues.
An interesting perspective if somewhat predictable, for example I figured out who the father of the intruder was about 2 chapters before the characters did. I know this book is about 20 years old now, but I was still surprised at the use of anti-Roma stereotypes, such as describing The Pack as "gypsies."
Had all the highlights that make Stargate fun including deadpan humor fantastical ancient-astronaut theory technology and the like.
