we're not in the inner sphere anymore
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
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.

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. Rice writes with clarity and force. His characters don't act like cartoons; they behave like real, occasionally quirky, individuals. There are some leaps in the plot, but if you pay attention, they make sense. Recommended.
One of the most unique battletech books
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
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 populated by an alien species as well as a group of humans decended from another group who misjumped there several centuries before. Fortunately, the newly arrived humans are led by a DEST commando. The action usually seen in other battletech books is not here, but I was still intrigued by the subtle power plays in the novel. Definately a great book.
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.
