Firefly: Generations
by Tim Lebbon
3.5 Stars
As per the blurb, when Mal wins a mysterious map during a card game, the gang decides to take a chance on seeing where it leads, especially since River is the only one who can decipher it. It’s not surprising that for the Firefly crew, nothing can ever be a simple grab and go.
Despite a potential treasure trove of historic relics to be taken, what’s also found is an Alliance secret that should remain hidden away for forever, lest all humanity perish. Delving more into River’s thoughts, the agenda of the Alliance, and the mysterious Hands of Blue henchmen, this definitely lends more insight to canon lore.
My only complaint - if you could call it that - was not much really happens in the grand scheme of things. No doubt there’s plenty of life threatening situations for each character and gory violence that is very par for the course, but I found motive, thoughts, and reveals repetitive.
Overall, I enjoyed this because how could I not? Of note, the first 3 books in this series were written by a different author and I can easily say that because these characters are so well drawn from the TV series and movie, that the spirit of Serenity continues to be captured, and Tim Lebbon’s entry here is no different!
