About this listen

The fourth original novel from the much-loved space Western Firefly, produced with Joss Whedon as consulting editor, set between the TV series and the movie Serenity.

A mysterious star map

On an Outer Rim moon, Captain Malcolm Reynolds ends a card game the lucky winner of an old map covered in mysterious symbols. The former owner insists it’s worthless; back on Serenity, River Tam is able to interpret it.

An ancient legend

River claims the map points the way to one of the Arks: legendary generation ships that brought humans from Earth-That-Was to the ’Verse. The salvage potential alone is staggering.

A drifting relic

As the crew approach the aged floating ship, they find it isn’t quite as dead as it first seemed. The closer they get, the more agitated River becomes. She claims something is waiting on board, something powerful, and very angry....

Much darker than the other novels in the series. I enjoyed the expansion of the verse again, with more from the Alliance and Rivers tale. That said, this is chronologically book 3 in the run and doesn’t sit the best in the overall history of the characters. Still a lovely return to beloved characters and a good stand alone story. As ever, beautifully performed by Foster.

This is a great firefly story.
Although I missed Enora and Book, the story itself wasn’t lacking without them. The narrator does a reasonable job of impersonating the characters. He does a great job of keeping up the pace and moving the story along.
It’s a lovely extra insight into the world of the ‘verse.

Enjoyed it so much more than expected

The other books in the series so far have all taken place between the series and the film, whereas this one is much more within the timeline of the series, with Inara and Book both present and absent.

Always interesting to have more of the ‘Verse and the wider backstory revealed, and creating more questions than answers … in a good way.

An unexpected reading order

Always great to continue flying through the black. More Firefly stories please - that'll be shiny!

Working my way through the series & this is the best Firefly audiobook so far. Its a stand alone episode so no need to listen to the others first. It’s a fantastic exciting book all the way through. Faithful to the characters & presented brilliantly. I can highly recommend this to any Firefly fan.

Best Firefly audio book, in the series so far.
