Amazon.co.uk Review
Keith DeCandido's enjoyable Farscape tie-in novel, House of Cards, is set during season two of the TV show, and plays nicely to the main characters' strengths. Moya ferries home a native of Liantac, a planet resembling Las Vegas, whose tourist trade has been badly affected by laric particles in the atmosphere. These prevent all but biological ships, like Moya, from functioning. Unable to resist gambling, Rygel gets involved in a high-stakes card game and is tricked into wagering Moya herself. When he loses to Netoros, a member of the planet's ruling consortium, Crichton, D'Argo and Zhaan are forced to work for her to pay off the debt. But Netoros is using them to further her own schemes, and Aeryn has to pretend she is still a Peacekeeper to save her friends.

But Netoros is using them to further her own schemes, and Aeryn has to pretend she is still a Peacekeeper to save her friends.
DeCandido has successfully captured the feel of the show with very non-human, bird-like aliens, jokey dialogue, and good character interplay. The plot is intriguingly complicated as Netoros manoeuvres for power and Crichton and the others try to rescue Moya and solve the problem of the laric particles. The excitement level is never very high, but there are some nice insights into the characters' backgrounds, in particular Aeryn, who as usual is having trouble with her Peacekeeper past catching up with her. This is a modest adventure to help tide fans over until season three hits our TV screens. --Elizabeth Sourbut
Product Description
When Moya picks up Fari, a passenger headed for his home planet Liantac, a planet that suffers from an atmospheric abnormality that prevents any mechanical propulsion system from operating within its orbit, it is obvious that Moya's organic propulsion system will be invaluable.
