Summary: Viva Liantac!
Review: ...This slim novel reads just like an episode (an episode *with Zhaan,* BTW), which works fine for me. For those playing the home game, it's set between "Won't Get Fooled Again," and "The Locket" and is packed with continuity and references to the show - with the added benefit of being privy to everyone's thoughts. Heck, there's even a nice, obscure little Trek reference in it...P>Rygel loses Moya in a card game on a gambling planet, and Crichton, Zhaan, and D'Argo are forced to work off the debt in order to get Moya back. Crichton sings Elvis and Aeryn gets blotto. Mmmm...I daresay there's more going on than meets the eye. Swell little romp in the Uncharted Territories.

Summary: A fun read
Review: A solid match with the characterization in the show and a fun adventure in it's own right. This is a good book to help wait out the reruns.

Summary: Farscape - the Missing Episode
Review: A very enjoyable story which reads much like a missing episode of the series. The author has an excellent grasp of the characters and type of stories that makes Farscape such a good television show.

Summary: Could've used another perspective
Review: Although a light enjoyable read, this should've aspired to be more! The narrative almost took the perpective of our leading man, John Crichton, but not quite! This third-person narration was distracting and distances the audience from the world of Farscape. Why not have this story written entirely from the *skewed* perspective of the self-serving Rygel? Maybe it would've kept the reader guessing about what is REALLY going on. It was a little too predictible when we the readers know what every character is thinking. I am impressed with the amount of backstory was squeezed in with the main plot in less than 200 pages! There is alot to enjoy in this slim little novel. In the future, maybe the author should not write down to a "lower common denomenator" ---eigth graders WILL read a book on a higher reading level if it is something they are interested in. Remember that the Farscape crowd tends to be MUCH older than that despite the Henson name and can handle more complex language and plot twists. Lots of good stuff here that goes undeveloped.....Viva Las Vegas!

Summary: Nicely Done
Review: DeCandido was fairly spot on with characterization. Easy read. Afterward you felt like you had just experienced an episode. Pick it up!

Summary: Giving it 4 because 2nd book was so much dren
Review: During my first read of the book, I kept shouting to my husband how much it sounded like Stark, "Good paragraph...bad paragraph!" The fact that the author (whom I've met and is a great guy) set the scene in Las Vegas of the Uncharted Territories made me groan with pain. But the twist that Crichton's "non-superior Human eyes" didn't find the complex's lights painfully glaring, unlike his crewmates, made me laugh!
There was one paragraph in particular that was so painfully bad I felt as if I were reading bad fan fic. It described all to blantantly and redundantly, John and Rigel getting up from their card game to go to Command. However, this could just have been an editing mistake...I hope...
The second read-through was much smoother and the author put in some wonderful moments. Crichton, forgetting the words to Viva Las Vegas and wondering if he forgot them around the same time as he started thinking in terms of arns instead of hours. Aeryn feeling guilty of her actions as a Peacekeeper. And, Aeryn getting drunk. Very cool.
For a first Farscape novel, it wasn't bad. Read it, even read it again, just don't read the second novel (but that's for another review...)

Summary: Great addition to the Farscape Universe
Review: Every fan of Farscape should enjoy this book. It's like reading the script of one of the episodes, it is that well done. The dialogue between Moya's crew is hilarious and since it's a book we also get to read what some of them are really thinking when dealing with the other members of the crew. I hope there are more books on the way.

Summary: Very Nice
