In regards to my upcoming Stargate Atlantis novels, a reader asks, "What do you think of Todd? And will he be in Death Game?"
Sadly no, Todd will not be in Death Game. Death Game takes place early in second season, right after the episode The Condemned, so it's a year before Common Ground, when we first meet Todd.
However, Todd will be a fairly major character in The Return, the first of the Legacy series, and will have a big plotline as the series goes. There will be a lot of development of the Wraith and of Wraith society in Legacy, something I think Melissa and I are both fascinated by and looking forward to tremendously.
What do I think of Todd? I love Todd. I think he's a wonderful character, my favorite antagonist out of the entire series, and I'm absolutely dying to work on both his backstory and his plot going forward. One of my favorite episodes was The Queen, though I wished it had been a two-part episode with more room to explore the tensions evident as Teyla, John and Todd confronted their expectations. So we're very excited to be able to flesh a lot of things out, and to explore some things that might have been a little too subtle or hot to handle in the context of the episode.
