Summary: If you know nothing of Farscape...
Review: If you know nothing of Farscape......then perhaps you'll enjoy this book. I found the concept intriguing, the story mediocre, and the representations of characters, defined and honed in season after season of the series as well as the previous books, abominable. I have no idea who these people were based upon but they were the most overtly simplistic caricatures of Crichton, Aeryn, D'Argo, et al. It has taken me over 3 months to finish this little book because I keep it in my car to read only when I'm going through a drive-thru and have no other escape. I would have put it down long ago but (a) I'm stubborn, (b) I really liked the concept, and (c) I keep hoping it will get better. The idea of beings, after charting galaxy after galaxy, suddenly being stuck in space for millennia is intriguing and I did enjoy the sub-plot with Sha Sutt and her crew. Perhaps because I knew nothing of these characters I found their bits more interesting than anything else. Frankly, leave out the stock FS characters and this book would have been much better. As for my expectation of the FS characters and the inept portrayal of their humor, I nearly burned the book when I came to this paragraph: "There was dead silence from Pilot, then with low and sincere tones, he commanded the former ruler. 'Use the furze, Rygel!'" I might have tolerated this from Crichton, but not from Pilot. Instead, Crichton's dialog was more befitting of a Keanu Reeves impersonation that despite his acting talent, I just couldn't see Ben Browder as Crichton delivering. Therefore I was left wondering who was possessing Crichton's body and thankfully it finally was possessed so at least he didn't have to be the "normal" Crichton. The list goes on, each character seeming strange and unknown as if it were written beforehand and the character names changed to fit the FS universe. Or maybe my imagination isn't as good as it used to be. Either way, if you love Farscape, don't bother with this book unless you are prepared to ignore things like D'Argo's flat "I am warrior. I will fight. Grrrr..." representation.

Summary: And I thought Dark Side of the Sun was bad...
Review: Ship of Ghosts was a horrible example of Farscape. Rygel with his "army" of DRDs was rediculas. The villan was weirder than Scorpius, but totally unbelievable. Ghosts have never been introduced in the show, and frankly the science fiction and spritual worlds are very difficult to cross effectively. Even good crosses are a little off, but this was the worst example i've ever read. Some advice to the author: If your gonna try something like this, at least make the characters match. The one cool part was the going into the PK world. That was one thing the other novels did not accomplish.

Summary: Not well researched
Review: The author of this book obviously had never seen the show before. He did not use any of the words or phrases that made Farscape the show it is. He used the "earthling" mode for time management i.e. "second" instead of "microt" or "hour" instead of "arn". I couldn't get into the story because the way the crew was portrayed was totally out of character. I was a die hard fan of the show and this book did it no justice.

Summary: MEDIOCRATY
Review: THIS BOOK IS O.K. IF YOU ARE FARSCAPE FANATIC BUT MOST FANFICS ARE BETTER. THE CHARACTERS ARE NOT FULLY FORMED AND IT LACKED THE HUMOR IN THE T.V. SHOW. BUY IT IF YOU ARE DESPARATE FOR A FARSCAPE FIX.

Summary: Terrible Terrible Terrible
Review: This book was probably the least researched piece of literature ever written. The author obviously had never seen an episode of Farscape in his life. The characters were so out of character that I wouldn't know I was reading about Farscape without the help of the cover, which the book didn't deserve. He didn't even use any of the Farscape-isms that make farscape so popular. He used seconds instead of the Farscape term microts for an example. I give this book two thumbs way down. I am a die hard fan of the show and this book makes a mockery of it.
