Description
Serenity is bound for the planet Kerry with a hold full of sealed, unidentified cargo for the planet's highest-ranking nobleman. The duke is a surprisingly genial man whose court brings all the fanciness and fun of Persephone's high society but little of the pretension--and, most importantly, he's got the promise of more work. Obliged to stick around while Inara is with a client--and hoping to score future employment--the crew settles in. The liquor flows freely at court, and there's food, show more entertainment, and comfortable lodgings to enjoy. Everyone is thrilled but Zoë, whose gut says something is off. When the duke's estate is attacked in the middle of the night, Mal sends Serenity to safety while he and Zoë investigate. What they find turns the whole story of Kerry upside-down. Revolution is brewing, and each of them will have to decide where to make their stand, even if it lands them on opposite sides. show lessTags

This was a great story that featured all the crew members of Serenity. It starts with the crew successfully delivering several crates to a wealthy duke. They are invited to stay at the duke’s estate for several days while Inara spends the time with a client. Relishing in opulence doesn’t last long however, as the crew soon learns the true cost of doing business with the duke.
Good pacing, wonderful balance featuring all the characters, and a good plot. It was a little predictable, but not terribly so. The only thing that didn’t make sense to me was why a General sought aid from a Registered Companion, of all people, for a military coup. Other than that I very much enjoyed this book.

Another decent addition to the Firefly universe with a writer who portrays the characters ‘voices’ and personality. Enough intrigue and action, and for those of us who are fans, one way to continue to enjoy the series, which ended far too soon.
