Why this must be read:
This is a side of Sam that we've never seen, and probably never will again. It starts with the premise that Jack, thinking she was dead, left her behind on Chulak in Children of the Gods. Abandoned and alone, she survived. There's no 'whiney/piney' Carter here. She was beaten, raped, tortured and found a way to survive and even garner the respect of the Jaffa on Chulak, eventually fulfilling Teal'c's role as Sholva.
A year or so later, she is 'rescued' and returned to the SGC, only to discover that, in surviving, she's seen as a traitor to her own people as well. She's caught between two worlds, welcome in neither yet also with nowhere else to go.
It's certainly not a warm and fuzzy read. It's cold blooded and brutal in places, however it is also an exploration of the character of Sam Carter that is unlike any other I've read.
It sets Sam up in a bonafide alternate universe and only time will tell if this universe is ever fully explored.
