I put this book in the Horror genre. Not everyone would, but it was horrific in scope. The characters were put in horrible situations, which...without an outside help, they would all have died horribly.

This series, Firefly isn't known for its episodes to be in the horror genre, but more accurately put as action packed (which this was, too), comedic (which this was, too), western (which this skirted, at times), but mostly...this show always skirted many genres...and did them all very well. 

I'm here to say, that this novel...was a horror novel. Fight me on it (please don't, I would RATHER have a good discussion on it).

I really enjoyed this story. I don't want to say too much...for I believe the less you know, the more that you'll enjoy it. Suffice it to say, the good guys prevail, which we KNEW was going to happen in book 3 of 7.

I hope that you (dear reader) pick this book up and go on an adventure with the Serenity crew...that was everything BUT serene.
