    5.0 out of 5 stars very well done
    Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2009

    Claudia Black performed excellently in the CD. The writing is well done, and the author obviously knew a great deal about who he was writing for.
    From the dialogue between characters, to the monologues done be Claudia, alone, the writing matches the character point for point. I especially liked how the story showed several ascpects of Vala Mal Doran, from scheming, to covering for herself, to going out of her wya to protect those she cares about. I highly recommend this if you are a stargate fan, or even just a fan of Claudia Black.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as good as I expected.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    I really enjoyed the love-hate relationship between Vala and Daniel on Stargate SG-1, so I had high expectations for this audio CD. However, I found myself oddly disappointed. Sure, there was the occasional good line, but the story was unnecessarily repetitive (such as when Daniel asks Vala to tell her story again, and she repeats it from the beginning) and Michael Shanks has a surprisingly small (if sometimes quite funny) role here, since Claudia speaks some of Daniel's lines. In addition, the delivery sometimes felt just a bit off, perhaps because Michael Shanks and Claudia Black recorded their tracks separately, rather than with the normal give and take of being together.

    On the plus side, I liked the inclusion of an interview with Claudia Black at the end. It was interesting hearing her take on the scene in "Unending," when Daniel is harsh with Vala. I'd heard on the DVD commentary track that Michael and Claudia had actually re-written that scene, and the director felt that Daniel's meanness was partly because Vala had tormented the poor guy for two years. But that just didn't quite jive. Claudia explains here that breaking Vala was the only way that Daniel could get past her defenses to the real her. So, it wasn't so much cruel as necessary for anything genuine to develop between them. For that tidbit alone, I felt the CD had been worthwhile.

    I applaud the publishers for their work creating new Stargate SG-1 stories and involving the original cast. Claudia Black fans will undoubtedly find it worthwhile. My own feeling is more on the fence. I would have to say that I liked "Gift from the Gods" a lot better, both in its story and performance. So, three stars from me.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Audiobook
    Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2012
    Claudia Black and Michael Shanks did an amazing job on this audiobook and the author seems to know what he was writing about because of just how much detail, of the Stargate world, was put into this audiobook. Plus, the story was great and was fun to listen to. The only gripe I have is that I wish they had a few extra people to do some extra voices, because it is a bit weird hearing Claudia Black trying to talk like a man. Overall, just a great audiobook.

    P.S. This audiobook also contains a few sound effects from SG-1.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fun romp
    Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2008
    Vala finds herself in prison (yes, again) on an alien planet with Daniel acting as her lawyer. Daniel wants to know the truth about what happened on the planet so he can talk the natives into freeing her. Vala would rather an old fashioned prison break, but she tells him the story anyway.

    What follows is a fun tale of Vala's escapades during her pre-SG1 days. There's some nice character moments along the way. Claudia Black and Michael Shanks are, of course, amazing and prove that their chemistry is palpable even when they aren't actually visable. It makes for a great CD to keep in your car for those days when you're stuck in traffic and can't stand another minute of the radio.

    Claudia Black as a voice made for voice over and audio work. She puyts eery bt of the personality of Vala into every entonaton. And both the character and her chemistry with Michael Shanks vicing Daniel Jackson realy shie through in this. Listen after the story too, there's a terrific interview between Cluadia Black and the author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Just like a SG-1 episode
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 29, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    This audiobook plays almost just like a filmed SG-1 episode. Claudia Black does the voice for Vala Maldoran, narrates and also does the all the other voices - as a storytelling Vala would have done them - except Daniel Jackson, voiced by Michael Shanks. Vala Maldoran has gone undercover on a planet in order to steal a jewel. Things do not work out as she had planned.
    It gives new insights into the double nature of Vala Maldoran, her greed, her lying, but also that she does have a heart and morals. The script is well written with several small plot twists. I am a bit sad that this script was not filmed. If you enjoyed SG-1, and more importantly Vala Maldoran, you will like this.

    Ein weiteres großartiges Hörspiel in der SG/SGA Reihe. Claudia hatte auf jeden Fall viel Spaß beim Aufnehmen, u.A. bestimmt auch deswegen, weil Michael Shanks mit dabei war.
    Ich kann es nur empfehlen, zu kaufen.

    Both Daniel AND Vala reprise their roles in this well done audio drama. True to the characters, the series and the overall FEEL of the SG-1 franchise, this audio disk is authentic, inspiring and captivating. I enjoyed it and recommend it. It is worthwhile listening to again and keeping for the future, like a great book or DVD movie. Highly recommended, this disk also has an interview with Claudia Black which is also informative and which I enjoyed listening to.
