Book Description
Flung through a wormhole while testing a new theory of space travel, John Crichton finds himself on a living ship crewed by escaped convicts, on the run from a variety of madmen and desperately trying to remain sane. Farscape takes an all-American hero, a pregnant spaceship, a bald blue woman, a chick with a gun, a guy with tentacles, and a puppet with silly eyebrows, and combines them with astounding production values to create a gritty, dark, funny, anarchic and shocking show. Originating in Australia but now the flagship show of America’s Sci-Fi channel, Farscape has gained many fans along the way – it’s viewing figures in the US have increased by over 40 per cent between season one and three. Adhering to Virgin’s successful programme-guide format, this is the unofficial and indispensable guide to one of the most original sci-fi shows of recent years.
