STARGATE SG-1 Hostile Ground (Apocalypse book 1)

Watch your step!It was meant to be an easy mission, a walk in the park. But SG-1's first trip off-world after Colonel O'Neill's return from Edora (STARGATE SG-1: One Hundred Days) proves to be anything but easy.Tapped for a covert assignment, O'Neill must conceal the truth from his team at all costs. So when Dr Daniel Jackson is injured and the mission begins to go awry, tensions quickly reach a breaking point. Stranded on a hostile planet, and desperate to find a way home before it's too late, O'Neill leads his fractured team on a desperate journey across a barren and forsaken world.Faced with an enemy more vicious than anything they've encountered before, only SG-1's strength as a unit will keep them alive - if the secret O'Neill is hiding doesn't tear them apart first...Hostile Ground&quote;You know,&quote; Sam said, &quote;these Amam could just be the Jaffa of a new System Lord who's come in here and wiped out whoever used to be in charge.&quote;&quote;That's what I was thinking.&quote; Daniel turned toward her, his glasses glinting in the faint light seeping around the door. &quote;They're probably Jaffa mythologized into 'undead' creatures by whatever Goa'uld first ruled this world. Perhaps they've even taken on the persona of Amam?&quote;&quote;And don't forget the sarcophagus,&quote; Sam added. &quote;I mean, talk about rising from the dead...&quote;&quote;Yes! I think we can say we're not dealing with real live - or is that real undead? - zombies.&quote;&quote;I hope you're right,&quote; the colonel said, &quote;because Night of the Living Dead spooked the hell outa Teal'c.&quote;&quote;It did not, O'Neill.&quote;&quote;He's just saying that. He was watching through his fingers.&quote;Sam grinned, she couldn't help herself. &quote;At least one thing's clear, sir. Whoever these 'Devourers' are, they can use the Stargate network. And that means there's a way home.&quote;&quote;My thoughts exactly, Carter.&quote; He scrubbed a hand through his hair. &quote;I can't believe I'm about to say this, but it looks like tracking down the flesh-eating-snakehead-zombies is actually our best chance of getting off this rock.&quote;
