About this eBook
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.

As a big fan of the show, this book was awful. Just awful. The characters aren’t believable, they act like weird caricatures of themselves, to the point that it becomes absurd. The author tries desperately to make reference to the episodes, so much so that characters magically know things they shouldn’t, or say things that make no sense. The story is dull and spends far too much time going back and forth. By the end I just felt tired and, well, bored. A real shame.

Good read. Felt like an episode of the show. A bit shorter than I expected. Some of the dialogue didn't feel right and a bit too many old episode references.
