UsHi · 22nd February 2001, 11:50 AM

sidewinder · 21st December 2001, 09:04 AM

Dark side of the sun was OK
Ship of ghosts was well erm???????????

H_P_M · 21st December 2001, 11:03 PM

I read House Of cards, I did tee heh heh kinda cheat and at the mall begin to start and read Dark of the Sun,..I kept on refusing to buy it cause it was getting to close to Christmas :laugh: what was Ship Of Ghosts about, wasn't that the one that was totally off base?

n/p at all SideWinder....also got to read Dark Side Of The Sun...pretty good story, I liked it

Great action, a couple things wrong like the music thing, why would he bring that when he is only doing a test run, and maybe the disc, he didn't have a disc player he had a tape player, but I'll hush up cause other then that the story was good I liked it a lot.

sidewinder · 30th December 2001, 02:27 PM

yes it was good a few holes in the story but good but house of cards was my favorite of all the books

H_P_M · 4th January 2002, 08:04 PM

See I can't pick out of those two cause

Dark Side Of The Sun had great action (which I love) and well that is waht kept my intrest

House Of Cards had really actul no action but in character depth it was really really close

so they both come my favorites, I guess..hard to decided really for me.

I've bought all 3 but Ship of Ghosts is much more slow than the other two. House of Cards was best. All different authors.

sidewinder · 8th February 2003, 07:15 PM

does anyone know if we are getting a fourth book

Lonewolf89 · 24th May 2003, 02:30 AM

I just started reading, ‘Ship of Ghosts’. In the author’s note in it says that the book falls shortly after John arrives on Moya. However, it seems to me that Zhaan’s physiology is being revealed in the beginning of the novel, and that's not supposed to happen until ‘Bone to be Wild’, near the end of season one. A slight timeline problem perhaps?

Lonewolf89 · 22nd August 2003, 01:18 AM

I just finished reading House of Cards, and I have to say it was one of the best books I've read that's based on a TV show. The characterization was great, and it gave everyone a strong role in the story. It was a big improvement over Ship of Ghosts. I really liked all the referances to previous episode. It made you feel like it was a part of the Farscape universe, and not just a stand alone novel by the same name.

Some of my favorite parts where:

John: Congrats, D'Argo. You look like you again.
D'Argo: What are you talking about? I always look like me. Except when I was in Pilot and Chaina's bodies, of course...
John: It's the blade. Puts that nice homicidal glint back in your eye.
Rygle: He always has a homicidal glint in his eye. pg. #59

John: So much form Mr. Backwards technology. I am the man! John Robert Crichton, Jr. Ph.D. and all around brilliant dude has saved the day. pg #158

Licit: What are those obscene tattos on your chin and head, anyhow?
D'Argo: A chronicle of all those people I've killed because they annoyed me.
