Tell someone recognizes the opportunity and rebooting a firefly universe from a tenant storyline, these books help to fill the void. This book revealed just a little more about the Shepherd than we knew before, and I for one I’m grateful. Great performance, well done setting, and a few new background characters made this one of my favorite episodes yet.

Any additional comments?

At first, the descriptive style of the writing was too much. Almost every other sentence was a comparison. Also, the performance didn't seem natural in the beginning, until I got used to it. As I plowed through the first chapters, things began to fit together. I started to enjoy it, and in the end, wanted to know more. It's not a book for everyone, but it's a good long escape.
