Found out about this book after it'd come out but got to read it last month and wanted to do a review on it now.
James Lovegrove is a pretty good author. I've enjoyed most of his books from the previous series. This was better than Ghost Machine, but still had it's shortcomings.
The story once again takes place before the movie but it appears not long before it. Book has left the crew as have Inara, but Inara has a special incurable cancer that sends the crew on a quest to find the one experimental doctor who may have the cure.
The problem?
He's on a remote prison planet heavily guarded by the Alliance.
Overall, the story's engaging. One mistake in the novel Lovegrove made was earlier in the book when Simon was "undercover" he made sure not to give his last name "Tam" as it might trigger some awareness as to his origins. However, near the end of the book, someone refers to him as "Dr Tam"
The other thing I take issue with is that Kaylee and Simeon share a long kiss. This sort of goes against what we've seen from the movie, when it still appears they haven't spoken of their feeling for eachother yet.
Other than those two call outs, the rest of book was fine. Worth your time checking out if you're a Firefly fan like me.
