Lost and Found...

In the fragile peace following Queen Death’s defeat, Dr. Daniel Jackson arrives in Atlantis to indulge in some real archaeology. Naturally, things don’t go according to plan.

Convinced that an Ascended Elizabeth Weir saved his life, Dr. Rodney McKay argues that she must have escaped her replicator body in order to ascend. No one believes him, but when rumors reach Atlantis of a woman with no memory who calls herself ‘Elizabeth’, Rodney is determined to track her down.

Meanwhile, Daniel’s research uncovers evidence of Vanir activity in the Pegasus galaxy - evidence that casts both light and shadow over the mystery of Elizabeth...

Stargate Atlantis: Unascended

Ahead of them, he could see the green line of brush that sloped down to the river. So could every small animal trying to escape the fire. Anything that wasn't caught in the nets would make for the protection of the water—

"They're going to be waiting at the river," Ronon said, catching up to Daniel. He sounded as though this were no more than an easy jog.

"I know," John called from behind him. "But they don't look like great swimmers, so when we get there, everybody into the water."

"We're going to have to go through these guys," Ronon said.

"We’ve just met an entirely new intelligent species, and we’re about to make first contact by shooting them," Daniel said.

"You got a better idea?"

"Try warning shots," John said. "And, yes, Rodney, I remember why that’s a bad idea, but we're heading straight for the river."

"I'm just saying the two things I didn't want in my day were dinosaurs and fire!" Rodney said, unslinging his own P-90 and cradling it as he ran.

"They're not dinosaurs, McKay."

"Birds are essentially dinosaurs, any paleontologist—"

Ronon grabbed the back of Rodney's jacket, thrusting him forward faster. "Shut up and run!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and exciting! So great to be back in Pegasis!
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2015

Excellent! Exciting! What a great feeling to be back in Pegasis with all the engaging characters, the daring feats of heroism and loyalty! The characters were as crisp and clear as the television series, their personalities matched word for word, syntax for syntax. Well plotted, well written; the search for Elizabeth was a natural extension of the continuing saga, with the addition of Daniel Jackson to the mix. It was good to have his quirky personality providing a foil for the challenges Teyla is having as she leads the team into some pretty scary situations. Ronan's personal distaste and displeasure of the Wraith continues, and adds just that little bit of question to the query, can the Wraith really be trusted? Now, a return of the Asgard puts us on an entirely different path that may prove even deadlier than all the other foes they've tackled. What will become of the team? What new alliances and old enemies will they face? This book is a great transition piece for the final showdown, and conclusion to this series. Well written. A delight to read.

Daniel Jackson: "I don't want to give you too much hope--"
Rodney McKay: "You know what, excessive optimism has never been a problem of mine."

After SGA went off the air I began reading these books, but my interest tapered off after I realized quite a few weren't all that well written. Or the writer spent more time on aliens, new worlds and new tech than on the characters I wanted to read about. Quite often they came across as amateurish. In the end I had no interest in reading more until I heard about this one. Elizabeth coming back was irresistible, so I caved in and bought it. After all, I rarely re-watch season four and I never bothered to buy season five (though I watched it) because after they killed off Weir I lost interest. I figured it was pointless getting attached to anyone since the writers and producers might kill them off at any moment. If enough people felt like I did, it's no wonder the show was canceled.

At any rate, I bought this book and I wasn't disappointed. The writing is top notch and the story is first and foremost about the characters. Admittedly, it's not as humorous as the show, but are any of these books? It's the actors and their timing, particularly Joe Flannigan and David Hewlitt, that brought the writers' humor to life.

The Weir flashback scene with Senator Nunn was outstanding, very nicely done. And when the various personnel talk with the cognitive therapist, Dr, Robinson, there are some good moments. It was particularly fun having our characters talk about not being able to have any closure at a funeral when the person who just died might (in Carson's words) "turn up as a clone or a robot or an amnesia victim next week". Ahh, the joys of a sci-fi TV show.

I can see where there isn't enough blow 'em up action--there is some--to suit the run-and-gun enthusiasts, but this worked in every way for me, with the slight exception that they did make Daniel Jackson a bit more asinine than he's been in many years. All-in-all, though, I'll be looking for more books by these authors. Thanks for bringing Weir back!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Atlantis entry, not so great Daniel
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2014

This was an enjoyable read, great, obviously, for Atlantis fans, and of course for Elizabeth fans. Lots of angst as the characters remembered Elizabeth and hoped against hope that by some miracle she was alive. As far as I could tell (I only watched the series sporadically), everyone is in exactly and wonderfully in character except . . . and this is where the book lost a star for me . . . Daniel. Seemed as if the authors, to move the plot forward, needed Daniel to be the Daniel from Season One of SG1, stumbling around and asking questions at the wrong time, instead of the older, wiser Daniel of the time this book portrays. I still enjoyed having him in the book, though, so SG1 fans, don't be too discouraged.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb addition to the post-series novels
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2014

I was a huge fan of Elizabeth Weir from her first appearance, and the appreciation only grew when Torri Higginson took over the role and truly brought her to life. I was distraught when she died, so I was thrilled by the bits and pieces of her we saw in the past Legacy books. Now we get a full-fledged return of the character I loved, and in the hands of authors as skilled as these, I knew I didn't have anything to worry about.

The novel is split into two plotlines: one involves our characters picking up the pieces following the extremely eventful Legacy series. If you haven't read the past six novels (firstly, you should catch up, but secondly...) you don't necessarily have to read them in order to appreciate this book. The authors recap things just enough to catch up newbies or refresh the memories of those of us who have followed every novel since "Homecoming." The other part of the novel is dedicated to Elizabeth's slow return to this mortal coil. It was a believable transition from the total amnesia of being kicked out by the other Ascended Ancients to the beginnings of memory. Along the way we get some very well-drawn exploration of the Pegasus Galaxy without seeing it through the biased eyes of an Atlantis team. The Travelers are especially interesting in this context.

This book is a great addition to the post-series adventures, and it brings home one of my favorite lost characters. I look forward to the next book to see where the threads left by this story get picked up and where the story goes from here.

I like the continuing saga of SGA, however, the scene changes are not evident without added spacing. It stops the reader. It is confusing and annoying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favourite book in the legacy series...
Reviewed in Canada on January 22, 2019

While I’ve enjoyed the Legacy series, this book is my favourite (so far). It feels more like an actual episode (where the previous six books felt more like an over-arching movie). We have a lot more team dynamics and attention on our main team. All of the team - including Rodney who I felt was missing in earlier books.

The voices continue to ring true and the plot was interesting and had a good pace to it.

While this book continues from the last one it’s the start of a new story (or episode). It’s a to be continued and knowing the initial series was only 8 books I expect things to wrap up in the next book.

Each of these books in the homecoming series build on each other really well and are very well written. I can imagine in my minds eye all the scenes in Pegasus, Atlantis and on earth. The author has ensured the way the characters talk and interact really match the series, and I really enjoy it for that.

5.0 out of 5 stars can't believe it ends on a cliffhanger...
Reviewed in Germany on June 3, 2015

...but it is great that they are writing more books in the series :-) And that Weir is finally back.
It's not up to the literary standards of Chaucer or Shakespeare but much better than most tie-in/continuation novels for sci-fi tv-series. And the authors are actually improving a lot from book to book, and face it Stargate isn't exactly the most demanding sci-fi there is to begin with.
As to the story - it is actually much better than what I believe they would have done with the tv series. Of course they have to stick to certain things, but they also manage to shake up the Pegasus Galaxy quite a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book but a little irritating at times
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 18, 2015

Great addition to the legacy series, however found Teyla's character to be a little irritating and pious at times, especially towards Daniel. Team Sheppard without John leading the team does not really work that well, hopefully the writers will find someone else to replace Richard in the next book. Daniel makes a good addition to team Sheppard, so hopefully the writers will allow him to stick around for sometime, especially as it adds great character interaction between Rodney and Daniel. Ember is an interesting character as well and hope to see more of him. Ronan's character sorry to say was also a little irritating and childish, especially when Sheppard is absent from the team. The ascended Asgard is a great element so can't wait to see where that goes. The Geni claiming credit for Queen Death's defeat is an obvious push for power and political favour, will be interesting to see how long it takes people of the various worlds to see through this transparent claim. The scene between Sora and Daniel was interesting to, Sora was out of her league when trying to deal with him.

The only other irritating thing going on is the lack of drones and ZPM's, when are the writers going to give their readers a break and give the expedition the means of finding a way to recharge and create new ZPM's as well as drones. The Ancients must have had a way to create them!!
