Publisher's Summary

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.

Great continuation of a beloved series

The narrator did an excellent job of emulating the cadences of the original characters. A+ voice acting work! It made it easy to slip into the world again and envision the story playing out as though watching the show again. The author captured each character’s personality very well. The only thing I’m sad about is that this wasn’t an actual episode I could have watched and enjoyed. 10/10

This book was as though the series had never ended. I would love it if it were made into a continuation tv series.

Good story continuation from the show

Good addition to the universe. There were a few parts that reference the show too much with a “hey remember this” feel to it, which felt to me like a waste of time and writing. But I did enjoy it and it had me invested into the story.

I listened to it at 0.8 speed which helped me hear the ever so slight voice differences the narrator gave to the characters. He did do a good job at bringing the original feel of the main characters back though.

A bit disappointing

A sideline origin story that was predictable in its conflict and resolution. I like the Firefly universe but this story did not engage me.

Meh. Lacks the spirit and energy of Firefly.

meh. barely worth 14 words of meh, but meh. Don't see the personality of Firefly here but I guess that's hard to translate to a shortish audiobook.

An excellent continuation

I loved this show and have rewatched it plenty. These books are not a disappointment. They are excellent “episodes”. Narrator does a fantastic job with each character. If you loved the show you’ll love everyone of these books!

Good Story

This story is a solid addition to the franchise and gives some extra background on key characters.
This narrator does a good job but you can feel a bit of challenge when it comes to varying between the characters. still worth a listen though.
