I read somewhere that Meyer just made it up on a road trip…there is no way that she hasnt seen stargate…or heard of it.

the plot was limp, and as stated in the previous comment, left too much for the imagination to lust after… Meyers teases, only to disappoint…

she has written better…

Meyer’s writing is atrocious and leaves much to be desired.  Her characters are flat, her plot leaves much to be desired. Overall, very dispaointing, and I’m not even a sci-fi fan. However, I am a fan of well-written novels, and, as with her other works, Meyer never fails to disapoint. 0 stars.
