Book Description

September 7, 2001 Farscape
John Crichton, Earth astronaut lost in a universe he never new existed, would have answered the call for altruistic reasons alone. However, his desperate alien shipmate fugitives on the living ship called Moya had other plans - survival! Then Rygel XVI, the deposed ruler now on the throne of his own mind, recognized the ship's markings. This race knew the starways like the back of its ventral tentacle! However, inside the alien ship the crew found instead a mystery wrapped inside an enigma and shunted into a ghost-universe. Would Crichton the wandering Earthman, Rygel the power-mad schemer, Ka D'Argo the haunted warrior, Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan the exotic blue priest, and Aeryn Sun the ex-Peacekeeper at war with herself find the key that would take them home? Or would the ship of dreams and ghosts add their troubled souls to its grisly collection in a galaxy beyond Death itself?

If they were, they must have been drugged.

I haven't read the Andrew Dymond book, but I have a feeling it's on par with this piece of dren. Set during the first season, BEFORE Moya is pregnant--and if it's not set then, where's Chi?--it has more continuity problems than I've seen in a while.

Obviously, the author saw maybe two episodes--both early season one--and never tried to find out anything more.

However. The worst part of the book is the Woman Out For Revenge on Aeryn... This woman follows many of the classic marks of a Mary Sue, and it felt as if she'd been written in specifically to lengthen the novel.

Which sucks. She needed to be dumped into the garbage as soon as she was proposed.

Did I mention no one's in character?

Except for, somewhat, John. And there's some nice bits between John and his dad (quite lovely bits, actually. Why couldn't he have stuck more of THESE in instead of the stupid Revenge woman?)

It also reads like a Star Trek novel, in some ways. With the PC cast, the PC ending, and the PC agenda of Our Heroes.

Ok. So I'm over the top. A little bit.

Hrm. Later.
