Oh, oh, this was fantastic and I loved it and, Oh, Rodney. ♥

I adore when Rodney gets to save the day... nicely done!

Go Rodney! I love it when he saves the day and that was an exhilarating ending.

The concept of a slave trade in Pegasus works very well given the unstable nature of most of the cultures and the hard-fought battle for life and civilization building. I really liked the very realistic assessment that Rodney had of his chances for survival in this situation if he had to rely on his physical strength alone. I also loved the fact that he ultimately rescued not only himself but everyone in the camp with him--despite the fact that it was John who rode in with the cavalry. Very cool story.

This is awesome. Only Rodney would end up staging an uprising without actively setting out to do so. And I loved how he became the hero of the camp in a true Rodney McKay fashion. Very nice read. :D
