About this ebook
A heist by the Serenity crew goes badly wrong in a captivating original Firefly tie-in novel from the award-winning series by Titan Books.
City of sin
Neapolis: a desert city on planet Bethel where all manner of entertainment can be found: high-stakes gambling, luxurious hotels, exclusive clubs and any form of diversion imaginable may be had for a price. It’s the eve of the annual carnival: three days of decadent revelry, and Serenity arrives to take a security job, guarding a costly shipment.
An unattainable ransom
Tragedy strikes: the shipment is stolen, and the wealthy owner kidnaps Zoë and Book, holding them to ransom for the lost shipment’s value. If Mal can’t find the enormous sum of five hundred platinum by the next evening, both of them will be killed.
A race against time
As the carnival begins the crew must attempt the impossible, calling on contacts, calling in favours, and revealing hidden talents to save their crewmates’ lives. Meanwhile, the hostages have their own plans…

Good read for a space opera enthusiast. Critical read for a true fan. Unless your OCD can't handle some editting errors, might be more than a bit infuriating for some. Story placed in a believable 'verse in line with Wheadon's depictions, with characters that are, for the latter half, accurate and alive. NLDR and glad I did. Hats off and a low wide sweeping bow to Una and the others involved.

This novel does the characters justice. Well written -though in need of another editting pass - with accurate characters after a slightly wobbly start. Great take on the happens pre-serenity post-firefly. Unlawful-good with a dash of super powered luck. Could even be a tale might catch some that aren't already brown of coat.
