The fifth 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.

Deadly disease

A disreputable scientist

Through their shock and despair, rumors of a cure reach the crew. Expert Esau Weng is said to have developed a means to treat Inara’s condition, but he has been disgraced and incarcerated for life on a notorious Alliance prison planet.

An infamous prison

Often these sort of tie-in books are one level above the worst type of fanfic, but this book is actually really superb. The characters and actions all ring true and there's plenty of good Firefly action going on. Dialogue sounds like it comes from the voices of the characters. I had no trouble believing that this happened in the same show I watched on telly. It's well narrated too. I'm happy that Firefly could live on a bit longer in this way.

Tie-in fiction at its best

Excellent book. I was hoping for more with the ending, it felt a little rushed for my liking. However, still a great read in any case.
