Story
It all started with the geese. The Firefly crew is eager to get paid for their latest job, but when payment arrives as a gaggle of geese instead of a purse, their stay on the planet Brome gets an indefinite extension. No matter that the geese will fetch a pretty penny once they get somewhere to sell them. Without coin, they can’t buy fuel, and without fuel, they can’t get offworld. Serenity is stuck.

One of the best glimpses into The Shepherd yet.
Reviewed: 12-12-24
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.

Story
This is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man's search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.

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.
