Query: Was pretty bad.

I really liked the first book, but this just couldn't live up to it. The characters personality's were all wrong. Firstly, none of the crew think of Chiana as a helpless little girl. Rygel being out done in haughtyness WAS a good touch, but any true fan can hardly imagine him NICE. The whole thing about Crichton's recorder using CD's and the fact he had music from the 80's is kinda hard to believe. I mean this is supposed to be the future, right? Also, Andrew Dymond could seriously use some lessons on elaborating. Show, not tell. The plot itself wasn't half bad, but the way he developed it needs major re-editig. And you have to wonder if the guy even WATCHES the show. Hopefully "Ship of Ghosts" will be much better written.
