Book Description

September 2002
Flung through a wormhole while testing a new theory of space travel, John Crichton arrives in a universe that no amount of sci-fi could have prepared him for. He soon finds himself on a living ship crewed by escaped convicts, on the run from a variety of madmen and desperately trying to remain sane. This book comprises an in-depth, unofficial episode-by-episode guide, including categories such as "Buck Rogers Redux", "Nosferatu in Rubber", "Alien Encounters" and "Get Frelled". Covering all three seasons of the show, it also provides a look at the logic leaps, the spins the show puts on classic storylines, and behind-the-scenes information.

4.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete, but thoroughly enjoyable, August 20, 2003
This review is from: Uncharted Territory: An Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Farscape (Mass Market Paperback)
Forget the high-priced trade paperbacks, this slim little volume has all the dren you need on your favourite sci-fi show.

Yes, it doesn't have illustrations. If I wanted to look at pretty pictures, I'd watch the show.

Yes, it doesn't have much of the behind-the-scenes scuttlebutt. If I wanted that, I'd listen to the commentary tracks on the heinously over-priced DVDs.

Yes, it's written in a breezy, informative style, giving you a handy synopsis of incidents under categories like Nosferatu in Black Rubber and Get Frelled.

The book even manages to discuss the technical flaws within each episode, but does so without taking away from the enjoyment of the review.

The book's only flaw: this is the last edition, and it doesn't cover every episode. The book covers to the end of the third season, and there's lots more to happen to the crew of Moya, but it's still a very useful little book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book for the first three seasons..., April 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Uncharted Territory: An Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Farscape (Mass Market Paperback)
Uncharted Territory: An Unofficial And Unauthorised Guide To Farscape covers the first three seasons and does a very good job of it. It breaks down each episode to characters, plots, so on. It also brings in a lot of humor, imagination, and some VERY interesting view plots. True, no photos and no behind the scenes stories - but the official books can give you that. Or just watch the features on the DVDs, which have become cheaper as time as gone by. MUCH better than many of the other unofficial books or guides out there. Even covers the TV-tie in novels and a few websites. I like how honest the author is in his views about a lot of the Farscape material and universe.
