The original novel tying into the critically acclaimed and much-missed
Firefly series from creator Joss Whedon.
THE FIRST ORIGINAL NOVEL FROM THE MUCH-MISSED SPACE WESTERN FIREFLY,
PRODUCED WITH JOSS WHEDON AS CONSULTING EDITOR, SET IN THE HEART OF THE
SERIES.
It should have been a routine job, transporting five crates from the
planet of Persephone to a waiting buyer. And Lord knows, Captain Mal
Reynolds needs the money if he's to keep Serenity flying. But the client
is Badger, and nothing that involves him is ever straightforward. The
crates are full of explosives, which might blow at the slightest
movement.
Just before take-off, Mal disappears. As the cargo grows more volatile
by the minute, and Alliance cruisers start taking an interest in the
tenacious smuggling ship, it's down to Serenity's first mate, Zoë, to
choose between rescuing her captain and saving her crew.
Meanwhile, rumours are spreading on Persephone of a band of veteran
Browncoat malcontents who will stop at nothing to be revenged on those
responsible for their terrible defeat. Is Mal harboring a dark secret
from the war? And can the crew of Serenity find him before it's too
late?
