If you're a fan of space romans, this is definitely for you. I didn't love it. There was SO MUCH exposition and thinking that it slowed down what little action there was to a crawl.

John Wilker finished reading Firefly - Life Signs by James Lovegrove
I think I'm done with Firefly novels. This was the third I've tried and they're all the same. Slow, no real stakes. The writing is solid, this isn't a knock on that. It's a knock on whoever decided to keep these novels set between TV show and movie. Give us post movie adventures.
