This wasn't intended to be a novel about Harry Maybourne, it just ended up that
way...
The Price to Pay
A 5th season Stargate SG-1 gen novel by Judith Proctor.
When four-year-old Sunlight on Water came through the Stargate looking for her
father, Jack O'Neil's problems were just beginning. Explaining how he came to
have a daughter was only the start, dealing with her symbiote was a total
headache, and as for the letter that she brought with her...
"Colonel O'Neill," Hammond said, "You've committed two breaches of
security regulations in one day. You leave me with no option other than a court
martial."
Within days, O'Neill and his team were fighting for the safety not just of the
SGC, but of a whole world. Millions were dying of plague. Was there anything
that could be done to save them?
Cassandra rubbed her eyes, screwed them up and rubbed them again. "We're
still losing people. Feretti died last night. I can't..." Her face crumpled and
she buried it in her hands.
The bangles on her bare arms chimed together as Nirrti laughed. "There
is no treaty, Colonel. The Asgard withdrew their protection from Earth long
ago."
It was a fight that necessitated the most unlikely of allies:
"How come you're the one occupying the moral high ground here?" O'Neill
demanded.
Harry spread his hands in a 'who, me?' gesture. "It provides
entertainment."
But how far can Harry Maybourne really be trusted?
"Maybourne," O'Neill said dangerously, "we had a deal."
"And you believed me?"
It's the tale of a tok'ra, Kantele, and his love for his host and his host's
family.
It's a tale of laughter:
O'Neill negotiated most of the minefield successfully, but died on the
borders of known space when hit by a section of egg-box. In death, he was
avenged by Hammond who got into the spirit of things and returned fire with an
assorted selection of paper death-gliders.
And a tale of friendship and love in the most unlikely of places. There are
times and places when love is difficult and there are times when you know it's
impossible. Just because you know it can't work, doesn't mean the feelings go
away...
But above all, it's a novel that requires the characters to ask themselves the
question: What matters most to you, and what price are you prepared to pay for
it?
