Format:Mass Market Paperback
ever wonder what it would be like if the jump ship you were on had a malfunction mid-jump? where would you end up? how would you survive? are the natives of the world you barely managed to make it to friendly? how do you get home. this book takes a look at these questions and will provide some intresting answers. not as fast paced as some of the other books in the series, but intresting never the less. a Draconis Elite Strike Team mis-jumps, and finds themselves on a planet with the desendants of a draconis jump ship crew, stranded centuries before by a similar accident. although i have't read this book in some time, it remains a favorite of mine.

... then this is definitely the one. Perhaps not every Battletech is up to the same standard, but in 95 % of the cases even those that don't further the core events offer a consistent level of conceptuality. One of the interesting points in the Battletech-universe is that it's sci-fi without aliens, ever ... untill this author (whose other books in other FASA-settings were any good either) tried to cross that line - and delivered a book that may or may not be worth reading (to each his tastes), but should not have been part of this series. All in all, you have to be an absolute completist in Battletech to need this book.

Read Between The Lines
Rice is my favorite BT author. "Far Country" isn't his best, but this books adds a dark tone and some intruiging possibilities to the series. Read more

Far Country: Far Below Your Expectations
Oh, sweet Jesus, save me! This is one of the worst books I have ever read. I have read better- written books (while in jr. high school) from series such as 'The Executioner. Read more

And I thought Ideal War was bad
The absolute worst BTech novel I have ever read. It made Ideal War look good. Holes enough in the plot to drop the Star League's naval fleet through, very poorly created... Read more

This book is the nadir of Battletech authorship. To be fair, other authors, like Robert Thurston and Thomas Gressman, have certainly had shaky starts, but I don't look forward to... Read more

One of the most unique battletech books
I really enjoyed this book. It was much different from other battletech novels in that it involves a lost jump ship crew and the passengers suffer a misjump and arrive at a world... Read more

different, first contact with non humans, about time!
Peter Rice, Far Country, left us hanging, it begs for a sequal, we need to know what happens.

Unusual and gripping "lost world" adventure--
Far Country is a bit unusual for a Battletech novel. It deals with a jumpship which encounters a singularity in the fabric of space, and dumps mechs, IFOR commandos, and ship's... Read more
