The second original novel from the much-missed Space Western Firefly, produced with Joss Whedon as consulting editor, set between the TV series and the movie Serenity

A cosmic cry for help

Captain Mal Reynolds is in a fix. He’d like nothing more than to find honest smuggling work that stays under the Alliance’s radar and keeps the good ship Serenity in the sky. But when an old flame of Jayne Cobb’s sends a desperate plea across the galaxy, his crew has other ideas.

A cutthroat bandit

On the arid, far-flung world of Thetis, the terrifying Elias Vandal is threatening to overrun the town of Coogan’s Bluff with his trigger-happy army. He wants control of the only thing standing between its people and dustbowl ruin: their water supply.

The magnificent nine

When the crew land at the hardscrabble desert outpost, they discover two things: a savage outlaw gang who will stop at nothing to get what they want, and that Jayne’s former girlfriend, Temperance, is single-handedly raising a teenage daughter, born less than a year after she and Jayne parted ways. A daughter by the name of Jane McCloud....

Delighted to hear this next (second) book. Saddened that at time of finishing it, knowing there are only two more available to further experience. Hope the author does more. Long live Firefly.

Good back story within a back story!

Enjoyable from start to finish. If you love the series and the Serenity film you'll love listening to this. Plenty of action with excellent character and world building. I thoroughly recommend it.

Great to be back with these characters, and the author does a great job with them.

That said, the story here does suffer a little to begin with, with the obvious Magnificent 7 tropes and its only when it moves away from that I found myself getting more invested. There also seems to be little for some of the crew to do in this "episode" but in all fairness that was occasionally true in the series.

Narrator does a great job at keeping the feel of the 'verse and it really does feel like the season 2 we were all missing.

Season 2 of Firefly continues...

An excellent story, which captures the warmth, spirit and humour of the original characters and TV series. As was mentioned by another reviewer, it only makes me miss the cast and series more. if you are a fan of Firefly or Serenity, you won't be disappointed by this book. Laugh out loud moments, mingled perfectly with sadness. Epic Firefly.

Just like old times...
