Both Earth and Hathor wish to exploit the planet of Abydos, whose natives just want to be left alone. The language barrier is still a problem, no short-cuts here, and Bill McCay does not plan to make it easy for any of the characters.
The book allows you a peek at Ra's decaying empire and the reality of having a Stargate to another world. Hathor wants power, but is realistic about what she can and can not do. For example, Walter Draven, of the UMC, is both greedy and forward, yet knows how far he can push people. The characters of Jackson and O'Neil seem to be in-character and many of the new characters, such as Hathor and Walter Draven, are very interesting. While there are some flaws (and mistakes)the book has a lot to offer.
