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 first invasion of Earth was beaten back by a coalition of corporate and international military forces and the Chinese army. China has been devastated by the Formic's initial efforts to eradicate Earth life forms and prepare the ground for their own settlement. The Scouring of China struck fear into the other nations of the planet; that fear blossomed into drastic action when scientists determined that the single ship that wreaked such damage was merely a scout ship. There is a mothership out beyond the solar system's Kuiper Belt, and it's heading into the system.

In a world where women hold all the power and men have barely been an afterthought, an intrepid shipmistress must put aside everything she knows if she is to save her people. Bela is at the helm of the Sandcrow, a ship sent from calm seas to the far frozen north in search of a legendary power that could turn the tide of war. Locked into ice, the Sandcrow is lost. Now, for the shipmistress and her crew, a desperate voyage becomes a chilling struggle for survival against nature, fear, and prejudice.

Meet the galaxy's unluckiest outlaws. Carl Ramsey is an ex-Earth Navy fighter pilot turned con man. His ship, the Mobius, is home to a ragtag crew of misfits and refugees looking to score a big payday but more often just scratching to pay for fuel. The crew consists of his ex-wife (and pilot), a drunkard, four-handed mechanic, a xeno-predator with the disposition of a 120kg housecat, and the galaxy's most-wanted wizard.

When the Colonial Marines set out after their deadliest prey, the Xenomorphs, it's what Corporal Hicks calls a bug hunt - kill or be killed. Here are fifteen all-new stories of such "close encounters", written by many of today's most extraordinary authors. Set during the events of all four Alien films, sending the Marines to alien worlds, to derelict space settlements, and into the nests of the universe's most dangerous monsters, these adventures are guaranteed to send the blood racing - one way or another.

the bug hunt
- By doug thornton on 06-06-18
Publisher's Summary
A lot has happened since Finding Serenity. We learned River's secret; Mal took on the Alliance. Our favorite crew became Big Damn Heroes. And the Browncoats proved that hard work, passion, and a little fan coordination can do the impossible. Serenity Found takes the contents of Finding Serenity even further, exploring not just the show but the events of the film as well, to create an anthology that's even more thought-provoking, fascinating, and far-thinking than its predecessor.
- Acclaimed science fiction author Orson Scott Card lauds Serenity as film sci-fi finally done right
- Writer and comedian Natalie Haynes reveals the real feminist savvy of the Firefly universe: the girls get the guns and the gags
- Pop culture critic Michael Marano connects damaged, ass-kicking River to the other weaponized women of the Whedonverse
- Multiverse executive producer Corey Bridges explains why the world of Firefly is the perfect setting for an MMORPG
- Mutant Enemy's visual effects wizard Loni Peristere relates what he's learned from Joss about telling stories, and tells a story of his own about Serenity's design
- Television Without Pity recapper Jacob Clifton frames Serenity as a parable about media: how it controls us, how we can control it and how to separate the signal from the noise
- And Nathan Fillion, Firefly and Serenity's Captain Malcolm Reynolds, shares his affinity for Mal and his love of Mal's ship and crew.

NOT stories set IN the Firefly universe.
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I was hoping for stories set IN the Firefly universe. This book is stories about how the (absolutely FANTASTIC) TV show being made influenced people's REAL lives. While interesting, it wasn't what I was expecting and was disappointed. (I was also disappointed by the fact that Nathan Fillion didn't read his own piece, but glad he is so busy we get to see him other places.)

Ok, but not the best honestly.
Look, I love Firefly. Kaylee is my cosplay of choice. But I was really bored for a lot of this book. Some of these essays are just not good. Especially the MMO one. And the narration style wasn't great either. It seemed like there was two voices that kept cutting in and out? And he spoke in a very monotone and boring voice. Maybe I would have enjoyed this more if I had read they physical copy. But there are some good moments. I really enjoyed Nathan Fillion's essay and the analysis of "Out of Gas." Look, there's nothing terribly wrong with it, and at worst it made me relieve Firefly and made me want to watch it again. Would I read it again? No. But it's not a waste of time for any Browncoat.

Alright
I liked this audiobook, and I preferred it to the previous Finding Serenity.
However, it was a bit of a drag, and it felt like at least half of the essays had nothing to do with Firefly or Serenity. Like, I purchased this audiobook to listen to a book about Serenity, not Stargate or Buffy or Battlestar Galactica or Criminal Minds, even if I like half of those programmes. It was a bit of a letdown.

Huh?
Loved the first but several times this one the writers specifically misinterpreted parts of the show/movie that didn't meet their interpretations.
