About this listen
The Serenity lands on the remote moon of Abel for a lucrative job but becomes embroiled in a young woman’s quest for vengeance and a starving frontier town’s fight for survival. Join Mal and the gang in this enthralling original tie-in novel from the award-winning series.
The Serenity crew head to Yell City, one of the settlements on Abel, a moon in the Rim. Their job: track down the killers of a local lawyer shot dead in the streets by a local gang. Their client is Annie Roberts, the eighteen-year-old daughter of the murdered man.
Lucky for them, Annie Roberts is more than capable of handling herself. Unlucky for them, the job is lot more complicated than they at first think it is. Annie’s father is not just the victim of local gang violence but also the target of some powerful men.
Taking down a local gang is one thing, but cleaning up a whole city? That’s not a job for the Serenity crew. But when their ship is impounded and Mal and the crew find themselves trapped in Yell City, they realize they are already in deeper than they could have ever imagined.

Feels like a midseason episode
This book has all the Firefly elements that we love, but just a little bit of them.

Ok story.
I’m usually all for multi-talent casting. However, Emily Lawrence’s performance made this very hard to listen to after 7 excellently performed previous novels. The fake “southern” accent was so flawed that it made Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood role sound Oscar worthy. The sound levels between the two voice actors were astounding. I constantly had to raise and reduce volume to compensate. The story itself was ok and basically a Firefly story.

Good solid story, even if it's a story we've heard
A good story. it is the kind of story that like the others would have me thinking they'd be far more popular in the Outer Planets and on Alliance radar.
I liked the dual narrators. It added an interesting element. Though they too often repeated whole descriptions from a character's perspective.
I'd like to start seeing stories from before or after the TV show and even after the movies maybe. They seem too precious with the stories at times.
First review I read for this says it only has a little of the firefly elements we love. I actually felt the opposite. The pattern of the books seems to always include repeated references to things already referenced in past books: Yes we know Mal can bring up the airlock to set Jane straight, but you can't go to that well twice every book. Yes there's a fondness between the Doc and Kaylee and they're embarrassed to express it, you can say that once and not feel the need to reference it again... I'd like new interpersonal elements to be introduced and recognized throughout these books.
