Author's Summary: This is the story of...John Sheppard's whole life, and it takes about forty years to tell.

Review:
A sort of SGA version of The Time Traveler's Wife" minus the novel's main plot plus Schrödinger's cat, where Rodney travels in time to save John from dying, repeatedly.

I wish I could say "I love everything she wrote", but Speranza's stories are a bit of a hit-or-miss for me. Written by the Victors remains one of my favourite SGA stories of all times, yet I still have not been able to finish OK Computer.

One thing I really love about Speranza's writing is her almost picturesque style of storytelling, and this story is no different -- events in the story travel through your mind with such vivid colours and you can almost see, hear, and feel the characters right in front of you. While Sheppard's Law is no fluff fest, and Rodney and John's story is a little heart-breaking, everything ends well. Recommended for those with a penchant for stories with a well-written plot and serious themes.
