The second SG-1 episode in the first season of the new Big Finish Stargate series of audio dramas is currently available for download at the production’s website. The CD for the drama, written by James Swallow and directed by Sharon Gosling, is also available for pre-order and will be released later this month.
“Shell Game” is narrated by Claudia Black and Michael Shanks and is set during Season Ten right after “The Pegasus Project”. The audio play, which also features a musical score, runs for approximately 70 minutes.
The story synopsis: “Vala Mal Doran finds herself in a particularly sticky situation when an old foe catches up with her. With only Daniel Jackson able to fight her corner, Vala may have to do something that’s really not her style—tell the truth.”
Fans will be able to download each audio adventure in the six-episode season, along with the CD artwork, for $8.99 (US). The CD is priced at $19.74 + $2.98 shipping (USD) at the website (previous CDs have included exclusive interviews with the starring Stargate actor). Those who buy the CD will be permitted to download the episode from the website at no extra charge.
The next episode in the series will feature Paul McGillion in the Stargate Atlantis story “Perchance to Dream” and is due to be released in July this year.
