About this listen

Mal and the crew take receipt of a sealed crate that they are being paid to transport to Badger, no questions asked. Yet once their cargo is safely stowed aboard, River insists Mal should "space" it out of the airlock, for it contains, she insists, ghosts.

With supplies running low, the crew desperately needs another payday but soon finds itself paralyzed by hallucinations of their deepest hopes and desires, so vivid they cannot be distinguished from reality. River is the only one unaffected. She desperately tries to awaken her crew mates, while the fantasies turn sour and the ship begins to spin out of control.

This was a unique read but very interesting. Seeing how the characters lives were different. I'm trying to be as spoiler free as possible. It was full of twists and shocks which made it all so exciting

Odd but interesting

I really enjoyed this book, but it didn't feel like peak Firefly which always had good banter between the characters and a lot of humour, even at its most sombre points. I would still highly recommend it, its my favourite Firefly book so far.

Very good story, just lacked humour and wit

An excellent way to glimpse into the minds of the characters and understand a little more about them such as their desires, wants and needs. A unique way to develop the characters and the verse they inhabit. I thoroughly recommend listening to this audiobook.
