The journey begins
After her mother's death, Cassie Fraiser is moving on. So she thinks. But there are dangerous forces at work and she soon finds herself caught up in a situation far beyond her control. It's a good thing Colonel Carter was keeping an eye on her.
But while Carter rallies SG-1 to Cassie's aid, events on Atlantis are going from bad to worse. Facing a deadly plague and a computer virus that's shutting down the city, it looks like Colonel Sheppard's team will provide rich pickings for the incoming Wraith hive ship.
