Résumé de l'éditeur
Un point dans le temps...
Lorsqu'un dysfonctionnement de la porte des étoiles projette le lieutenant-colonel Cameron Mitchell, le docteur Daniel Jackson, le lieutenant-colonel Sam Carter et Teal'c dans le passé, ils n'ont plus que quelques minutes à vivre.
Mais leur sauvetage, orchestré par un duo improbable - le major-général Jack O'Neill et Vala Mal Doran - n'est que le début de leurs problèmes. Chargée de secourir un Asgard également naufragé en 1947, l'équipe SG-1 se retrouve à la merci de l'Histoire. Tandis que Jack, Daniel, Sam et Teal'c se retrouvent impliqués dans la conspiration des extraterrestres de Roswell, Cam et Vala sont bloqués dans une autre ligne temporelle, cherchant désespérément un moyen de rentrer chez eux. Alors que les répercussions de leur intervention se propagent à travers le temps, les conséquences pour l'avenir deviennent catastrophiques.
Piégée dans le passé, SG-1 ne peut qu'assister, impuissante, à l'invasion de leur monde par un terrible ennemi...

But their rescue, by an unlikely duo - Major General Jack O'Neill and Vala Mal Doran - is only the beginning of their problems. Ordered to rescue an Asgard also marooned in 1947, SG-1 find themselves at the mercy of history. While Jack, Daniel, Sam and Teal'c become embroiled in the Roswell aliens conspiracy, Cam and Vala are stranded in another timeline, desperately searching for a way home. As the effects of their interference ripple through time, the consequences for the future are catastrophic.
Trapped in the past, SG-1 can only watch as their world is overrun by a terrible invader...

"You." The lieutenant's nightstick swung around in an arc. He stabbed it in Daniel and Jack's direction as he approached them.
"Who? Us?" Jack said, adopting a well-practiced expression of cluelessness that worked so rarely, Daniel wondered why he bothered to try it on anyone.
"Names!"
Jack smiled disarmingly. "Ah...names. Mulder and Scully."
"Where do you live?"
"Colorado," Daniel replied, before Jack could get too carried away. "We're just passing through town, lieutenant."
"Where ya headed?"
"New York," Daniel said without thinking.
"Kinda taking the scenic route, ain't, ya?"
"But there's so much to see," Jack said. "Little green men, and flying saucers... Oh, and arresting innocent citizens eating in a diner."
"Jack!" Daniel hissed in warning, but it was too late. The damage was done.
The MP's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Wise guy, huh?" The lieutenant grabbed Jack by the arm. "Outside. The both of you. You're coming, too."
