About this listen

The first original novel tying into the critically acclaimed and much-missed Firefly series from creator Joss Whedon

The Battle of Serenity Valley was the turning point that led the Independents to their defeat at the hands of the Alliance. Yet the Browncoats had held the valley for weeks against all odds, before being ordered to lay down their arms. Command stated they refused to send in airpower because the ground war was "too hot". But the soldiers who were there insist that was not true....

While picking up a new cargo on Persephone, Captain Malcolm Reynolds is kidnapped by a bunch of embittered veteran Browncoats who suspect him of sabotaging the Independents during the war. As the rest of the crew struggle to locate him, Mal is placed on trial for his life, fighting compelling evidence that someone did indeed betray them to the Alliance all those years ago. As old comrades and old rivals crawl out of the woodwork, Mal must prove his innocence, but his captors are desperate and destitute, and will settle for nothing less than the culprit’s blood.

This felt like a story that could easily have come from the shows universe. It’s such a well told tale that fully embodies the crew and their world beautifully.

I have been secretly waiting for ages for something that continued the adventures of Firefly and it’s crew and when this audiobook came out I instantly picked it up.

This book is a great listen with a ripper storyline and captivating characters that really draw you into the world whether you are a fan of the franchise or even as a casual listener coming across the book for the first time

The narrator also brings out the voices of each characters and how they feel at any given moment which makes you feel like you are there, whether it’s at serenity’s flight deck or planet side.

So what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this book. You will not regret it.

What can I say, that was perfect. I got the same fuzzy feeling I get when I watched firefly.

But it also makes me sad, because of the lameness that is FOX.

Just perfect, nothing else in the ‘verse like it.

I love that the reader (sorry, forgot his name!) was able to imitate the voices of each character recognisably without trying too hard.

Thanks!

Fun story, a little slow to start but finishes well with a bit more back story, that adds nicely to the firefly series!

Fun book

This is a good novel and a decently performed audio book.
The start was very slow, where I almost stopped listening in the first 1/3. I am really glad I kept going because it's a really enjoyable ride by the end. I really enjoyed the flashbacks and character development. The use of Firefly lingo and character dialogue/voices was spot on. I'm really excited to get into the second book now too and learn more about the Firefly 'verse.
9/10 recommended.
