Sinopse: Too good to be true...When an Ancient prodigy gives the Atlantis expedition Charybdis - a device capable of eliminating the Wraith - it's an offer they can't refuse. But the experiment fails disastrously, threatening to unravel the fabric of the Pegasus Galaxy - and the entire universe beyond.Doctor Weir's team find themselves trapped and alone in very different versions of Atlantis, each fighting for their lives and their sanity in a galaxy falling apart at the seams.

Payback was a bitch.The Atlantis he'd known was gone. In time-honored human tradition they'd got too curious, too cocky, too greedy. The upshot had been wholesale destruction.
