Classic Firefly

Good firefly story leading up to the Serenity movie. Could have been a movie in itself. Well written with some action and twist and surprise. Narration is good but doesn’t really separate voices of the characters very well but does a good job staying with how they project what they say

you can't take the sky from me

it wasnt my favorite of the five books but it was still an exciting and gripping tale that kept me on the edge of mt seat. I devoured it in 2 days.

Great Firefly

All the wonderful characterizations we love in a dire situation along with the modestly bumbling plan of action for them to play against. Can't beat the storuy

firefly

If you adore Mal and his pals this will not disappoint. James Anderson Foster is fantastic

Always a blast.

As with all of the Firefly books on Audible, this is so much fun, please keep it up.
