Rec of the day

(okay, yesterday's rec was technically posted today because the weather was so gorgeous (SO gorgeous) that I didn't go back inside until after the sun set entirely. Which, this time of year, is around 11pm... and even then it doesn't get entirely dark. ♥ summer. Anyway, here's today's rec, I just finished reading it:)

In That Sleep of Death by [to be revealed] (Stargate: Atlantis)
gen; PG-13; team; action-adventure, set mid-season 3; 32,500 words
Summary: With the Wraith culling in earnest across the galaxy and mysterious mercenaries attacking defenseless villages, Team Sheppard chases after a possible weapon left behind by the Ancients in an abandoned outpost. They return empty-handed, but increasingly strange behavior causes them to question just exactly what they might have discovered after all.

A well-paced and gripping old-school action-adventure, in which plot and character exploration go hand in hand.
