Publisher's summary

A heist by the Serenity crew goes badly wrong in a captivating original Firefly tie-in novel from the award-winning series by Titan Books.

City of sin

Neapolis: a desert city on planet Bethel where all manner of entertainment is found: High-stakes gambling, luxurious hotels, exclusive clubs, and any form of diversion imaginable may be had for a price. It’s the eve of the annual carnival: three days of decadent revelry, and Serenity arrives to take a security job, guarding a costly shipment.

An unattainable ransom

Tragedy strikes: The shipment is stolen, and the wealthy owner kidnaps Zoë and Book, holding them to ransom for the lost shipment’s value. If Mal can’t find the enormous sum of 500 platinum by the next evening, both of them will be killed.

A race against time

As the carnival begins, the crew must attempt the impossible, calling on contacts, calling in favors, and revealing hidden talents to save their crewmates’ lives. Meanwhile, the hostages have their own plans....

One of my favorites

I loved the television show, and I love the book tapes. I think this is the longest of the books which I really appreciate. I don’t like spending a whole credit on anything under six hours.

The best Firefly Novel so far....

It's funny. It's dramatic and it's far batter balanced (characater-wise), than the previous novels. I liked that for the first time in all Firefly novels Inara had finally something to do. The other authors obviously had a little allergy to our beloved companion, so this is a welcomed change.

Too similar to the episode on the tv series, but still a good listen.

Too similar to the episode on the tv series, but still a good listen. Good addition to the series. And while similar, has a twist that has you cheating for the crew.
