Why This Must Be Read: Over the years SG-1 has encountered hundreds of interesting people and I just love it when an author remembers one of those characters and utilizes them in a story. In this one, it's Aris Boch the intrepid bounty hunter. Oops, sorry, former intrepid bounty hunter. There is another, brief, cameo but I'll leave their identity to be a surprise. The heart of the story, however, is most definitely Daniel. And it's my favourite kind of Daniel: the one who's determined to do whatever he can to help save innocent lives no matter the potential cost to himself. Even when it means keeping secrets from his team and potentially alienating Jack for good. The premise of the story is rather intriguing and, while the Goa'uld responsible never actually makes an appearance, his 'servant' more than makes up for that.

Author's summary: Daniel goes undercover to diffuse a deadly situation on a benign planet.
