Well, I can safely say that 'Ship of Ghosts' was *not* better than 'Jeremiah Crichton'.

Yes. I did just say that the highly-touted book wasn't as good as one of the worst episodes of season 1...

*I* could have written this book better. I could certainly have edited the fucker into a readable form, rather than let it stay the incredibly crappy morass that it is.

Number one: Get rid of Mary Sue Sutt. That would improve the book 100% right there. (This whole section of the plot is so painfully awful one wonders why it wasn't killed in its inception...)

Number two: Get rid of the Rygel is God sub-plot. That's been done before, and much better.

Number Three: D'Argo does not constantly swear on thirty-thousand different gods, places, or things. That's Rygel.

The John and his dad interaction was great. There was some great stuff. There was just so much crap submerging it that it could barely breathe.

Underneath the dross was a book of pure... well, copper. Iron, maybe. Not gold.

I sense this was a Star Trek novel, attempting to be hip and new age. And Farscape.

Since, well, Farscape is *not* ST, it fails.
