Review: Farthest Space: The Wrath Of Jan
Author: Ellen Fisher
From the back of the book...
Captain Steven T. McNeill, famous explorer and even more famous playboy, finds himself stranded on an remote planet, alone except for his gorgeous, lavender-haired first officer Vaish and a neurotic computer named Fred.
Steven has worked with Vaish for years, yet never really noticed her. But as they face deadly dangers that include the threat of starvation and large, hungry saber-toothed cats, Steven begins to realize how much he admires Vaish's mental and physical attributes.
The galaxy's biggest playboy can't really fall in love... can he?
Review
This was a short fun book to read, I literally stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to finish it. There were a lot of funny references to Galaxy Quest, Stargate, and several other sci_fi movies. I really had a fun time reading it.
Captain Steven T. McNeill has a reputation as a sexy handsome playboy and womanizer throughout the galaxy. His womanizing ways causes him to be distracted at a critical moment, and he loses control of his ship. The captain is marooned on a uninhabited planet with his sexy second in command Vaish, and his sentient computer known as FRED. Steven is very easy going and doesn't realize exactly how much trouble they are in, and he definitely can't stop thinking about his sexy lieutenant. Steven never realized how much he depended on Vaish, or the feelings he has developed for her over time.
Vaish is thoroughly frustrated and disgusted in her captain, they wouldn't be in the predicament they're in if he wasn't always chasing women. She has watched him lay with all kinds of women throughout the galaxy for five years, and he never once noticed anything womanly about her. To make things worse Vaish has been harboring feelings for the captain, and is disgusted with herself for even entertaining those kinds of thoughts about him. Now they are stranded on this planet possibly for the rest of their natural lives, and Vaish isn't sure she will be able to resist the handsome captain.
Steven and Vaish must work together to try to get off the planet,reclaim their ship, and rescue the crew. It doesn't help that there are giant man eating felines roaming around on the surface, and to make things worse Steven has an enemy from his past stalking them.
Steven was a strong character with the same flaws as any other human male. He was sexy, funny, caring, and very likable. Vaish was a strong character as well, I could definitely understand her frustration with Stephen. I could also understand why she was fighting her attraction to him, while I was hoping they got together. Vaish has special talents of her own, and they come in handy while they are trying to escape the planet.
If you like sexy Sci-fi/futuristic romances with a lot of humor included, you will definitely love this book. I Did!!
