Why This Must Be Read:

Out of all the Sentinel/SGA/SG1 crossover stories I have read this is my favourite. Not only does Keira Marcos takes on the Sentinel mythology but runs with it enhances it and creates a superb series delving deeper into the Sentinel/Guide Universe beautifully. John has spent his life as an unbounded Sentinel riding under the radar until he meets Rodney a guide and then John’s Sentinel side can’t hold back.

He couldn’t move, didn’t care if he ever moved again. Unknowingly, he pushed in deeper letting the color drench his mind, into the peace it offered.

Then strong hands were on him, pushing him back against the rough concrete wall.

This man, this Guide who had refused so many Sentinels in the past was his. Would McKay refuse him as well? And if he did, what the hell would he do then? John had never met a Guide that had called to him, never met a Guide he wanted to claim as his own. He was wholly unprepared for it.
