Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this eclectic anthology of essays, former cast member Jewel Staite ("Kaylee"), philosopher Lyle Zynda, sex therapist Joy Davidson, and noted science fiction and fantasy authors Mercedes Lackey, David Gerrold, and Lawrence Watt-Evans contribute to a clever and insightful analysis of the short-lived cult hit Firefly. From What went wrong with the pilot? to What's right about Reavers? and how the correspondence between the show's creator Joss Whedon and the network executives might have actually played out, the writers interrogate the show's complexity and speculate about what might have been if the show Firefly had not been cancelled.

Anti-Heroes, Lost Shepherds and Space Hookers. That little blurb on the front cover of "Finding Serenity" by Editors Glenn Yeffeth and Jane Eperson, says it all. For a dyed-in-the-wool fan of the televison series this book just continues the enjoyment, albeit in a semi serious and technical way. This collection of essays offers interesting and informative insights into the people, mores and situations of our newest, favourite 'verse. I can barely wait for the sequel to hit the shelves!
