Yeah, yeah, I know it's the very first SG-1 audiobook and it's nearly three years old. But I listened to it tonight for the first time since I got it, and I never posted it about then, so here we are!
Gift of the Gods is read by Michael Shanks, who does a superb Jack and Sam (his Hammond felt more generic-Texan than George to me) and naturally a rather passable Daniel. ;) Early S3 teamy goodness -- Sam is still Captain -- some very handwaving technobabble, and a very SG-1ish feel. There's another voice actor, playing the part of a major from SG-12.
( very vague spoilers )
( totally spoilery )
All in all, I liked this one a lot. I've only listened to one other of the Big Finish SG-1 audiobooks, and that one was a lot less enjoyable for me. This one I would strongly recommend to anyone who likes Daniel and Sam and teamy goodness and friendship and sheer determination to do the right thing.
...Although I admit, hearing Daniel say "Goa'uld" with the proper pronunciation is downright weird, heh.
