Longer review:

Ah, lovely. Why is it that the books with Janet and Hammond featuring prominently tend to be the best? Well, I think we know that. There were some fabulous moments for everyone. Daniel and Jack were about as argumentative as they ever get on the series. Sometimes it felt like it was edging towards too much, but then it got redeemed by them being startlingly understanding of one another--as they have to be, to remain friends. Teal'c had some dramatic moments (er... sometimes borderline overdone, IMO--I'm not sure Teal'c would take himself off when people so clearly needed him), mainly with Janet. For the shippers, there were a couple of sort-of Sam/Jack moments, nicely understated and unspoken. I loved how the author expanded Dixon's character, and how he and Jack dealt with one another--and how differently the rest of the team got along with him. 

Jack was kind of a bastard for a large portion of it, and sometimes it felt a bit relentless--but then again, it fitted with the situation and the personal history that was being dug up, much against his will. He is never more deliberately offensive than when trying to fend off enquiries about personal stuff.

There was much drama, much authentic-sounding (to me) medical stuff, much gruesomeness... They could never have done this on the show (too static, too unglamorous, too much jargon), but for a book it worked great. Janet was simply awesomesauce. I love Janet.

Oh, and I squeed for far too long over the tiny not-quite mention of Sam in Iraq, and Jack so nearly meeting her. Hee!

So, definitely second on my list of favourites (after Sacrifice Moon, and equal with Survival Of The Fittest).
