Why this should be read: This riveting drama reads like a classic horror movie: the broken-down car on a stormy night, the strange small town in the back of nowhere, the two hapless scientists stalked by terrible evil...

Only in this case, the victims in question are Daniel Jackson and Rodney McKay.

These scientists fight back.

Creepy and evocative, with great insight into Daniel's character and an excellent portrayal of McKay, this story will grip you and leave you looking over your shoulder. Eerily, frighteningly good.


"I can't believe you got yourself shot. Sam will so blame me for this. You couldn't have thought of that before you decided to play hero?"

Daniel grabbed weakly at Rodney's forearm. "You think Dr. Zelenka has called the local Chatsworth police?"

"He better! It's not like we have infinite time to sit around here while you inconsiderately bleed to death."

"We have to get out of here." Daniel clawed at the wall behind himself. "Help me up."

"Excuse me, how about no!" Rodney whispered back furiously. "I was able to climb out a basement window and throw rocks at the side of the house to get that monster away from you. You, however, are not going to be climbing out any windows any time soon."

"You don't understand."

"Oh, god, you're as bad as Sheppard. What part of bullet in your side do you not understand?"

"Dammit, Rodney, she's a goa'uld!"
