When disaster strikes an Egyptian dig, SG1 are brought in to investigate. But nothing can prepare them for what they find among the ruins.

OCEANS OF DUST

"DEATH GLIDER." It was close enough now to be unmistakable; a glossy crescent howling down out of the sky towards him. As soon as he had spoken the machine unleashed its energies a second time; O'Neill saw gouts of fire spitting from its cannons. He dived for cover, throwing himself behind a boulder. There was a whiplash impact as a shot hit the rock, an earsplitting din of frozen stone superheating and exploding away in lethal shards, and bolts of fire were ripping past as the glider fired over and over into the plateau. O'Neill felt the punch of each blast through his boots, through his bleeding hands as he crouched.

A shadow crossed him, viciously quick, as the glider hammered through the air over his head, and he heard the electric whoop of a staff weapon as Teal'c sent darts of energy lashing up into the sky. A shot connected, spattered uselessly off a wing. The glider flew level for a second or two, then rose into a smooth, almost vertical climb, accelerated into a blur. In a heartbeat it was lost to the clouds.

"Damn," muttered O'Neill, getting up. He was starting to hurt all over. "That turned up fast."

Teal'c had been down on one knee, trying to get a better aim at the fighter. He rose, slowly, eyes on the churning whorl of cloud the machine had left in its wake. "If the glider arrived in response to the distress beacon, it must have already been close to this world. It is likely that a mothership is in this system, searching for the Tel'tak."

"And now they've found it. Thanks to us."

Stargate veteran's getting involved with Primeval: New World!

Courtesy of Gateworld:
 
 
Last week, GateWorld reported about the brand-new series, Primeval: New World, a Canadian-based spin-off of the original popular British genre series — and that longtime Stargate and Sanctuary director/executive producer Martin Wood was on-board to bring his talents to the new incarnation.
As it turns out, more members of the Stargate family are also attached to the new project. While casting announcements are still pending, a source within the production has confirmed to GateWorld that in addition to Wood, several familiar names are slated to direct episodes of the series’ inaugural season.
Those names include Andy Mikita and Amanda Tapping. Mikita has a long history with the Stargate franchise, having been a producer on all three series and directing over sixty episodes of them throughout the years. Tapping’s directing credits include her debut stint in SG-1 Season Seven‘s “Resurrection,” along with several episodes of her current series Sanctuary.
Also confirmed to direct is Mike Rohl, who — while having never worked on Stargate — has extensive credits within many Vancouver-based productions including The Outer Limits, Smallville, Sanctuary, Eureka, Supernatural, and more

Stargate SG1 Audio Drama Boxset News - (Michael Shanks & Claudia Black)

     Big Finish, the producers of the Stargate audio dramas, have released an update on the much-anticipated new Stargate SG1 release.  The upcoming Stargate SG1 dramas will include 6 stories that have been divided into two trilogy boxsets.
Voiced by Stargate SG1 stars, Michael Shanks as Daniel Jackson and Claudia Black as Vala Mal Doran.  This is one way to keep the Stargate franchise alive!
"It's here! Yes, after far too long an absence, Stargate is returning to audio. The third series stars Michael Shanks and Claudia Black in a series of six stories which find them taking on some of SG-1's most dangerous foes, old and new. The stories are designed as two trilogies, taking place during the tenth season of Stargate SG-1, and will be released in two box sets.
The first, released in May, begins with a horrific incident at the SGC and leads Daniel Jackson (Shanks) and Vala Mal Doran (Black) into an encounter with the last remaining System Lord, Ba'al, played once again by the joyously evil Cliff Simon. There are twists and turns aplenty as our dedicated duo realise they may not be able to trust anyone - even themselves. The trilogy also sees the return of the brilliant John Schwab as Hunter, a character who appeared alongside Michael Shanks in Big Finish's very first Stargate audio, "Gift of the Gods".
The second trilogy, released in August, takes us deeper into the world of the alien Asgard. The discovery of a strange object by former 'associates' of Vala leads her and Daniel on a journey to stop a far-reaching plan that could mean the end of life as they know it. And yes, Michael Shanks is back playing Asgard favourite Thor!
The third series of Stargate is a full-cast drama for the first time, and is packed with the action, adventure and humour fans have come to know and love. If you love Stargate and have been missing it since Stargate Universe ended, you'll love this. If you've never tried the series out, this is a perfect time to get on board as we provide the biggest and most explosive run of stories to date!"
Taken from 'Vortex' Issue 35 available to read or download from Big Finish's Vortex Magazine Site!
