Story
Captain Mal Reynolds is in a fix. He’d like nothing more than to find honest smuggling work that stays under the Alliance’s radar and keeps the good ship Serenity in the sky. But when an old flame of Jayne Cobb’s sends a desperate plea across the galaxy, his crew has other ideas. On the arid, far-flung world of Thetis, the terrifying Elias Vandal is threatening to overrun the town of Coogan’s Bluff with his trigger-happy army. He wants control of the only thing standing between its people and dustbowl ruin: their water supply.

Firefly's early demise left fans with a deep sense of loss and plenty of unanswered questions. From what was wrong with the pilot to what was right with the Reavers, from the use of Chinese to how correspondence between Joss and network executives might have gone, from a philosopher's perspective on "Objects in Space" to a sex therapist's analysis of Inara, Finding Serenity is filled with writing as exciting, funny, and enthralling as the show itself.

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.

Colin MacIntyre's life as a NASA astronaut might not have been exciting, but at least it was orderly. Unfortunately, he's been tapped for greater things, and he isn't too sure he likes it. First he was kidnapped by an ancient, self-aware starship masquerading as Earth's moon. Then he was drafted as its captain to suppress a 5,000-year-old mutiny. And then he had to mobilize the planet against the attack of an eons-old ancient menace dedicated to the eradication of all intelligent life in the galaxy! It's hard to blame him for feeling a little stressed....

A team of, literally, rocket scientists figure out a way to send a probe, very fast, to Mars to determine how and why it is changing. However, when the probe is destroyed well short of the formerly red planet, it's apparent that Mars is being used as a staging ground. The only viable target for that staging ground is Earth.

Publisher's Summary
The fourth original novel from the much-loved space Western Firefly, produced with Joss Whedon as consulting editor, set between the TV series and the movie Serenity.
A mysterious star map
On an Outer Rim moon, Captain Malcolm Reynolds ends a card game the lucky winner of an old map covered in mysterious symbols. The former owner insists it’s worthless; back on Serenity, River Tam is able to interpret it.
An ancient legend
River claims the map points the way to one of the Arks: legendary generation ships that brought humans from Earth-That-Was to the ’Verse. The salvage potential alone is staggering.
A drifting relic
As the crew approach the aged floating ship, they find it isn’t quite as dead as it first seemed. The closer they get, the more agitated River becomes. She claims something is waiting on board, something powerful, and very angry....

WHAT A GREAT CONTINUATION OF THE FIREFLY SERIES
This is one of the BEST sci-fi series ever seen on the tv and the big screen! Why it was cancelled is beyond comprehension, but these new books are a great addition to the series. This is a credit towards Joss Whedon’s original Firefly. Tim Lebbon is a great writer and does a good job in the mixing of suspense, curiosity, action, and satisfaction! He does not make the reader (or listener in this case) wait for 8 or 9 hours of story until they achieve some satisfactory resolution to the mystery in the beginning of the book. He breaks down his stories into events and satisfactory conclusions. By the end of his story all of it comes together leading up to the main reveal at the end of the storyline. Honestly though, this series makes me want to travel the stars and see for myself, exactly what is out there. Makes me wish i had been born 1000 yrs from now. Who knows, but maybe I will come back in another life when we finally begin colonizing other worlds. It is going to happen. 500 yrs ago most religions would burn you to death if you said humans would fly, or walk on the Moon, and/or communicate near instantly with people across the oceans. Yes, someday humanity will thrive on multiple planets. It may be that humanity already exists on other worlds. We may have colonized Earth and lost the knowledge or more likely those which crave power and control had the knowledge fully destroyed in order to gain or maintain control over the masses. I do not give 5 stars because every story can be improved upon, but this book is definitely 4.5 stars or higher. It is worth the $$$ and time required to listen.

I was really disappointed with the story in book 3. This made up for it and more. This story dives into the origins of River. There were one or two continuity slips in the story, but they are easily overlooked.

If only there were MORE!
You know how you'll read a review for a SF book and it will say "if you liked Firefly"? and they hold this new book up to those high standards? Well THIS is the real thing. You are back on Serenity, back in the black, with all the characters. Lebbon knows our friends inside out and Foster narrates perfectly. Right now there are only four but hopefully with enough sales and enough good reviews there will be more. I WANT MORE!! I have a purse like old Scrooge - open and moths fly out but I've bought all of these and the ebooks too and I am ready to buy MORE PLEASE!

Into the Black
Much darker than the other novels in the series. I enjoyed the expansion of the verse again, with more from the Alliance and Rivers tale. That said, this is chronologically book 3 in the run and doesn’t sit the best in the overall history of the characters. Still a lovely return to beloved characters and a good stand alone story. As ever, beautifully performed by Foster.

odd, but okay
Not entirely done yet (30min left)... but the only way this story could be cannon to the rest of the universe is if the crew gets amnesia or it's a dream like in ghost machine. - Because.. this is so out of cannon with Serenity that I'm questioning if Tim Lebbon is aware of the rest of the universe of firefly.. I'm very confused about this, however.. on its own.. This is a really cool story! So I'm just gonna ignore canonical errors and enjoy another visit with the wonderful crew of Serinity. Stellar job by James Anderson Foster! as allways
