Summary
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....

"Here we go ... the inevitable bar brawl."
For all fans of the much missed series of Firefly, featuring all of the crew getting into trouble as usual, and showing Jayne in a way not usually associated with him, this is a very welcome addition. With narration by James Anderson Foster, the visuals play out in the reader's head with all of the colour of the original.
A bit obvious in places but great fun.

Just like Nathan
The narrator was excellent as Mal Reynolds, he sounded just like Nathan Fillion. He wasn't perfect however, for instance the 'Janes' sounded too much alike, that said, I would have given him 4.5 if I could. Apart from the comment below which I suggest you probably shouldn't read and which cost it a point, the story was actually really good and i would recommend it.
SPOILER ALERT!!
The so called twist in the story was the worst I have ever read. It was so blatantly obvious from the beginning what the outcome was going to be regarding Jane 2, the story would actually have been better without the twist.

A story well worth a listen if you loved the show
First of, voice acting was on point, his mal performance is nothing to be scoffed at, and you quickly feel like you’re watching the show again, (listening to it at least) I did enjoy this over book one and if your a fan of the hero of m the hero of canton, book is for you…
A Jayne Cobb heavy story, but who doesn’t love the character?
I didn’t dislike anything about this book, maybe one thing at the end but without it the crew would of lost a key member so from a story standpoint I get it..
Trying to avoid spoilers here 😅
If you love firefly, you’ll love this

Awesome performance
Performance is fantastic, especially for Mal's voice. The story was a bit predictable, but not bad.

Another chapter in the Verse
Second in the novel series, building well in the universe and dropping enough lines to make any fan jump at what they know is in store for these characters down the line. Always difficult dropping stories in between existing material but finding out what lead to the start of the Serenity movie is really interesting. Brilliantly brought to life again by Foster, a joy to listen too.

Very simple story, but sooo enjoyable
This is no great literary masterpiece, but simple and easy entertainment. I could have listened to the whole thing in one go.

Too much exposition
The story was good on the whole, but the twists were so easy to see that the entire 10 minutes of characters explaining their actions and motives afterwards just seemed totally unnecessary. It also required the characters to go completely out of character every time it happened.

A must for Firefly lovers..
This book was an incredible ride with the people we know and love. The story no doubt has been done before in similar ways, but this didn't detract from the audio or text story presented here.. the character building is solid, and each Firefly character is well voiced from the start. Bittersweet that it's ended in mainstream media, but there is legs for Firefly/Serenity to continue in books if the calibre is this high. thank you.
