Why this should be read: This is the first in what became an AU series, where some of the interesting minor characters from both shows are in the spotlight. The episode "Rising" is re-imagined and the new characters are shown preparing, (including off-world training), for the mission to Atlantis. I really enjoyed the mention of so many old friends, (Sarah Gardner! Catherine Langford! Ferretti!), and the friendship between Jeannie McKay and Carolyn Lam.

In 2005, Jeannie McKay prepares for the trip of a lifetime: a possibly one-way ticket to the Pegasus galaxy in search of the lost city of the Ancients. Stargate AU in which Jeannie, not Rodney, as well Sam Carter, Carolyn Lam, and many more female scientists are part of the original Atlantis expedition in "Rising".
