The ninth exhilarating and original Firefly novel tying into the critically acclaimed and fan-beloved series, from creator Joss Whedon, follows Mal, Book and the rest of the crew mounting a madcap heist to untangle themselves from a sinister web of lies on a backwater moon.
Stranded and Broke
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. Dont matter that the geese will fetch a pretty penny once they get somewhere to sell them. Without coin, they cant buy fuel, and without fuel, they cant get off-world. Serenity is stuck.
A Figure from the Past
Luckily the foreman of the local fuel refinery, Lyle Horne, wants to hire them, but not to work in the factory. A philanthropic authority known as The Governess has been kidnapping his workers. Lyles fixing to get them backwith the help of Mal and his crew. Only trouble is, Lyles got a mysterious past with Shepherd Book, one the preacher aint too keen to talk about.
Plans Go Awry
Out of options and out of time, they launch a three-pronged plan: Mal will break into her fortress of an estate to retrieve the workers, Inara and Simon will pose as potential donors to the Governesss charity as a distraction, and Jayne will stay behind to keep an eye on Lyle. But things never do go smooth, and soon the crew finds they have more than a few geese running amuck on Serenity.
