This books reads like an unreleased Firefly episode. For the fans of the show, this is great - another slice of the characters we all love, out in the Black. It is a little unusual for a novel, but it is at least self-contained. I can tell the authors have much love for the series, too, and I think they write the character interactions well. That said, they lean into the Western aspect of the show in a way that feels MUCH more awkward, gimmicky, and cringeworthy than I remember.
