Product Description:
Lost and alone in unknown territory, astronaut John Crichton has found a refuge of sorts aboard Moya, a vast living starship sheltering a fractious band of bizarre alien fugitives. Now Moya and her squabbling inhabitants have run afoul of a mysterious space vessel that only seems to be deserted. In truth, the ship belongs to a race of strange astral entities who lure the unlucky wayfarers into their clutches.
Desperate to fulfill an ancient prophecy, the crew of the 'ghost ship' will stop at nothing to escape their limbo-like existence, forcing Crichton and the others to brave the mystic terrors of an alien realm in order to free the restless spirits-not to mention themselves!

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.

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.

I actually liked this book in spite of only giving it two stars which might lead you to believe otherwise.
The characterizations were alright, not outstanding. And the story itself was intriguing, although ultimately I felt the pay-off for reading it through to the end wasn't memorable. For example, some stories leaving you thinking about them for days/weeks/months...even years after you read them, this isn't one of those stories.
If you're desparate for a Farscape fix though, you'd be better off buying this than "Dark Side of The Sun".

Another [disappointing] Farscape book. I'm a big fan of the series and this book was sooo disappointing. The characters are completely off and left me wondering if the author has actually seen an episode or if he just looked a picture of the characters. The plot is uninteresting... Don't waste your time. I threw my copy [away]--couldn't even stomach selling or giving it away. I give this one star because of the cool bookcover artwork.

...if not a stellar result.
The plot is rather imaginative. I did find that the characters were a little too chummy to be happening only a few episodes after "Premiere"--Aeryn, in particular, was getting along too well. It would probably have been better served to be, say, shortly before "A Human Reaction".
Also, I found the usage of new tech to be somewhat iffy. The power gems I didn't have a problem with, except the name, but "the furze" and the DRD army of Rygel's were simply pointless.
Overall, worthy of the name Farscape, but it could be improved.
