The sides of Stargate
- A ring found in Egypt that opens onto another planet
- An Egyptologist and a soldier
- A desert world ruled by the god Ra
Stargate is good for you if…
- you like stepping through a ring into a desert world.
- you like an Egyptologist cracking the symbols that open the gate.
- you like a military mission that turns into an uprising against Ra.
Stargate is bad for you if…
- you need your science fiction to make sense.
- you'd rather have a character study than a portal adventure in the desert.
