Firefly: Aim to Misbehave

The Firefly Series, Book 9

By: Rosiee Thor

Narrated by: James Anderson Foster

The ninth original novel tying into the critically acclaimed and much-missed Firefly series from creator Joss Whedon

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. No matter that the geese will fetch a pretty penny once they get somewhere to sell them. Without coin, they can’t buy fuel, and without fuel, they can’t get offworld. Serenity is stuck.

Luckily the foreman of the local fuel refinery, Lyle Horne, wants to hire them, but not to work in the factory. He needs their help on a job only a crew like Serenity can pull off. Horne is an old friend of Shepherd Book’s. Mal would love to know more, but Lyle’s got bigger fish to fry. An authority known as The Governess has been kidnapping his workers. Lyle wants them back.

The crew need to break into her fortress of an estate and retrieve the workers. Jayne, who suffered a goose-related injury, stays behind to keep an eye on Horne while the rest of the crew split up to infiltrate the fortress. However, the Governess has her own story, as do the workers. Is Lyle lying? While they’re trying to make sense of it all, the workers’ children come aboard Serenity, with a plan to steal the ship and launch their own rescue mission.

This author goes deep

It's great to see the old Serenity crew back in action, but it's even better in the hands of a writer who has such a deep understanding of the characters. A novel can do a lot of things that a TV show or movie can't, and if you're going to read a novel, there isn't much point if it fails to take full advantage of the medium. While the story mostly centers around Shepherd Book, we get a good look at the internal dialogues and deep meanings in every one of the characters. It's a real treat.

Classic Firefly

Fantastic plot, great character development, terrific use of the backstory and narrative we all know and love.

Simply Awesome

If you love anything about firefly then you will absolutely love this book. That's it no need for a paragraph long review.

Great as always

Please keep making these and I’ll keep buying them. I love having the continuation of a show cancelled way too soon. The author is perfect as well.

One of the best glimpses into The Shepherd yet.

Tell someone recognizes the opportunity and rebooting a firefly universe from a tenant storyline, these books help to fill the void. This book revealed just a little more about the Shepherd than we knew before, and I for one I’m grateful. Great performance, well done setting, and a few new background characters made this one of my favorite episodes yet.

Listen to an episode told in the voice similar to Captain Reynolds.

The voice of the narrator matches the voice of the Captain. That makes the story so much better.

perfect firefly story for long drives and days

loved it the characters popped right to lifeguard reminded me of the show and good times

Misbehaving

Wonderful characterizations, well narrated, fun plot. A nice listen while moving on down the road.

Next week, on Firefly

Amazing! Kudos to all involved, this felt like another episode that might have been. Action, humor, character warmth! I will say the Author gave me a new look into Jaynes mental model, which was refreshingly deep for a traditionally shallow character.

Thanks for keeping us flying!

Great story

Really liked this latest adventure! Clever, fun, and new insights into Shepherd Book’s previous life and times.
