Why This Must Be Read: The Summary says:
Six months after a devastating attack against Earth, Sheppard gets a promotion and a reassignment to Russia, where he encounters evil aliens, Rodney McKay, SG-1, a possible plot against him -- and a series of unexplained visions.

This takes place after the attack on Earth by Anubis. The attack has devastated a lot of the world and the Earth is in a nuclear winter. John is in Afghanistan where his buddies Mitch, Dex and Holland are still alive so he has no black mark against him. He is shipped to Siberia where the SGC is now based, and promoted. There he meets Rodney McKay and is placed in charge of SG13 alongside Aiden Ford and Cameron Mitchell and Rodney. But not everything is right, when he sleeps he dreams of people and places he has either never seen or never met and then he meets the ascended Daniel Jackson

The ten minute walk from John's quarters to Colonel Newcombe's office was just this side of unbearably cold. The bottom of John's pants were soaked by the time he managed to find a hardened path, created by people moving back and forth over the same patch of snow for six months, leading to the office. Shivering, John shoved his hands into the pockets of his parka. Some of the guys who'd been on tour longer had told John the winters before the attack were plenty cold, but they were much worse now. It had been months since John had seen sunlight.

Colonel Newcombe was waiting behind his desk. The blast of heat that hit John in the face as soon as he entered the room reminded him just how cold it really was out there. "Sir," John greeted, brushing the snow off his shoulders with one bare, ice-cold hand. Damn nuclear winters. Maybe next time they'd get attacked by aliens with a heat ray.

"Captain Sheppard, you've been given new orders," Newcombe said, getting straight to the point.

John wondered why Newcombe was telling him this. "We have, sir?" he asked.
"No, you have."
Newcombe handed John a stack of papers. The words John Sheppard, report to the US-Russian Stargate Command Facility, and Siberia jumped out at him. And also Военно-воздушные Силы России, but he had no idea what that said. It was co-signed the US Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Russian VVS Commander. John's stomach dropped.

"Am I being punished, sir?" he asked worriedly. He tried to think of what he'd done lately to piss off his CO. Okay, so he didn't always follow orders to the letter, and he didn't tuck in his shirt even though they always yelled at him for it, and maybe he'd missed a few briefings because he was busy playing Xbox, but he was pretty sure that wasn't enough to ground him. Oh, and there was that whole gay affair thing, but that was totally a secret. He zipped up his parka a little higher though, just in case.
Newcombe rolled his eyes. "It's a promotion, Captain. Or should I say 'Major'?"

Major. Major John S. Sheppard. Take that, Dad, he thought triumphantly. Then he remembered his dad was dead, and he felt kind of bad.

"Why me?" he asked.
