Paul McGillion stars as the beloved Carson Beckett in an upcoming Stargate Atlantis audio book titled Perchance To Dream.  The 70-minute recording is available to pre-order now from Big Finish, and is scheduled to be released July of 2008.  What a way to brighten the commute! 

Big Finish is offering the CD for $19.75, plus 2.99 shipping within the US.  Their story synopsis:

“I thought there’d be more pain. My patients have always complained of more pain…”

Doctor Carson Beckett finds himself in an uncomfortable situation when he becomes a patient in his own infirmary. After a disastrous mission, Beckett is brought back to Atlantis with a broken leg – and a bad case of amnesia.

But that’s the least of his troubles. Cared for by Doctor Gilbert, Beckett watches as a strange affliction overcomes his friends and colleagues. One by one, members of the Atlantis crew are brought in, unconscious and unresponsive yet with no sign of trauma. What’s causing this peculiar illness? And why doesn’t anyone want to hear what Carson has to say about it?

The lovely thing about building a website devoted to a character everyone loves is that many people are excited about working on it!  I’d like to thank and introduce some of the very talented people who will be turning carsonbeckett.com into something wonderful:

• Haliyah will be creating our overall site design
• Idlewild202 will be working with Haliyah on design and css coding
• Meezergater will be working on making us a video gallery for all those lovely Carson fanvids out there
• Someone whose name I have lost in the mist of past forum thread pages (I’ve very sorry!  Was it you, fainne?) is going to make us a gallery for Carson wallpaper, icons, and other pretties.

Welcome to the Carson Beckett/Paul McGillion community!  I created this place to act as a warm and friendly environment for Carson and Paul fans to interact.  We have all been drawn together by our love for a very special character who has become dear to our hearts….so enjoy!

This site is currently in development; look for a new design and features to be added shortly.  We have a forum at http://www.carsonbeckett.com/forum and a chat room at http://www.carsonbeckett.com/chat – and a photo/wallpaper/icon gallery to be added soon.  I will be working on a cohesive design for the site, I know it is all a bit of a mess right now.
