Publisher's Summary
The fifth original novel from the much-loved space western Firefly, produced with Joss Whedon as consulting editor, set between the TV series and the movie Serenity.
Deadly disease
Months after Inara leaves Serenity, Mal and the crew finally learn the reason for her sudden departure: She is dying of a terminal illness. It is Kiehl’s Myeloma, a form of cancer that’s supposedly incurable, and Inara has very little time left.
A disreputable scientist
Through their shock and despair, rumors of a cure reach the crew. Expert Esau Weng is said to have developed a means to treat Inara’s condition, but he has been disgraced and incarcerated for life on a notorious Alliance prison planet.
An infamous prison
On Atata planet, inmates are abandoned with no guards and left to survive as best they can. What’s more, terraforming the planet did not take properly, so the world is a frozen wasteland. To save Inara, the Serenity crew must infiltrate the prison....

A sweet little bit of brain candy
I quite enjoyed it. The narrator really nails the feel of the Serenity's crew and if I squint my ears I can believe it's Nathan Fillian himself. Overall a sweet little piece of brain candy.

Lots of Blood
Boy these guys do a lot of killing which I do not remember from the TV series but here it is. The detail and writing about the blood and ways to kill people is really amped up in my estimation.
That all being said, the voice is perfect and the writer has captured the feel for the show. Well done but be ready for the violence.

Good story.
As a note on this series there's a great deal of repetition of describing scenes and characters. It's not just when there's different perspectives on a moment but a needless third or fourth description of some character.
That said, this is certainly one of the better stories in the series, especially given that they need to walk a fine line of narrative that fits between the series and the movie. There were a few problem scenes but nothing terrible.
I also find myself weirdly wondering why it's so easy to kill the Alliance. I understand they're an over arching antagonist faction, but sometimes it seems like they omit the human factor in the organizations.

I enjoyed getting reacquainted with the crew!
It started off a bit slowly, but I did get sucked in, eventually. Anara is dying, and the crew set out to a prison planet to try to liberate a doctor who may have a cure. Their escapades combined action with the humour one expects from Firefly. I enjoyed the narration. Note there are a few references to a lesbian marriage.
