Jayne Cobb enlists the crew of Serenity to join him on a mission they can't refuse in this second original Firefly novel tie-in. Book 2 of this thrilling novelization series of the critically acclaimed and much-missed space Western franchise from creator Joss Whedon. An old flame of Jayne Cobb's, Temperance McCloud, sends a message to Serenity, begging him for help. She lives on the arid, far-flung world of Tethys, and bandits are trying to overrun her town to gain control of their water supply: the only thing standing between its people and dustbowl ruin. Jayne tries to persuade the Serenity crew to join the fight, but it is only when he offers Vera, his favorite gun, as collateral that Mal realizes he's serious. When the Serenity crew land at a hardscrabble desert outpost called Coogan's Bluff, they discover two things: an outlaw gang with an almost fanatical devotion to their leader who will stop at nothing to get what they want, and that Temperance is singlehandedly raising a teenage daughter, born less than a year after Temperance and Jayne broke up. A daughter by the name of Jane McCloud...
I could not put this book down! Fans of the Firefly series will love this story. It's like an episode of the TV series. The characters stay true to the original characters. But you don't have to know anything about the series to enjoy it. Lots of wonderful characters and action to keep you interested. Now I have to get the rest of the books in this series.
