Review: Rescued but for what?
Rating: 3 out of 5

I have been following Mr. Hechtl and as an author he has grown quite a bit but overall I have to admit that just because he writes so much so quickly doesn't mean he should not try to condense and tighten his writing skills a bit.He once again starts the book off by stealing an idea from the public domain which only bothers me because he keeps the name the same making the reader always aware just what story is being co-opted. I really wish that Mr. Hechtl would spend at least a little effort towards renaming the "stargate" I mean really the name could be changed to portal and it wouldn't seem like such a rip-off.I also find that while the story is fine and all it just isn't anything original. I've seen it all before in different enough ways that their isn't enough truly original aspects of the work that make it stand out against its competitors in the field. I hope that this stays as a stand alone novel because I just don't see any reason that this would need to be expanded in the future at least with these characters. Maybe a hundred years after the two world's have been linked would be interesting but honestly I just think we would see more of the same otherwise.gallandro
