About this listen

 Frey is the captain of the Ketty Jay, leader of a small and highly dysfunctional band of layabouts. An inveterate womaniser and rogue, he and his gang make a living on the wrong side of the law, avoiding the heavily armed flying frigates of the Coalition Navy. With their trio of ragged fighter craft, they run contraband, rob airships and generally make a nuisance of themselves.

So a hot tip on a cargo freighter loaded with valuables seems like a great prospect for an easy heist and a fast buck. Until the heist goes wrong, and the freighter explodes. Suddenly Frey isn't just a nuisance anymore - he's public enemy number one, with the Coalition Navy on his tail and contractors hired to take him down.

But Frey knows something they don't. That freighter was rigged to blow, and Frey has been framed to take the fall. If he wants to prove it, he's going to have to catch the real culprit. He must face liars and lovers, dogfights and gunfights, Dukes and daemons.

It's going to take all his criminal talents to prove he's not the criminal they think he is . . .

If, like me, you still mourn the loss of the Firefly TV series then this is a balm for your wounds. Group of motley misfits with mysterious back-stories struggle against stacked odds.

Having read the books and loved them, I was a bit hesitant to try the audio version but that was put to rest in very short order by Rupert Degas superb narration (one of the few non-aussies who can do a credible aussie accent). Was equally gutted when I found out that the remaining books had never been released in audio format so imagine my delight when I saw the confirmation that these are to be released shortly.

Thoroughly entertaining and absolutely begging to be optioned for a high budget TV series - you listening Amazon Prime??

Firefly lives!!
