Firefly - The Magnificent Nine
Firefly - The Magnificent Nine | James Lovegrove
19 posts | 14 read | 10 to read
The second original novel tying into the critically acclaimed and much-missed Firefly series from creator Joss Whedon. An old flame of Jayne Cobb's, Temperance McCloud, sends a message to Serenity, begging him for help. She lives on the arid, far-flung world of Tethys, and bandits are trying to overrun her town to gain control of their water supply: the only thing standing between its people and dustbowl ruin. Jayne tries to persuade the Serenity crew to join the fight, but it is only when he offers Vera, his favourite gun, as collateral that Mal realises he's serious. When the Serenity crew land at a hardscrabble desert outpost called Coogan's Bluff, they discover two things: an outlaw gang with an almost fanatical devotion to their leader who will stop at nothing to get what they want, and that Temperance is singlehandedly raising a teenage daughter, born less than a year after Temperance and Jayne broke up. A daughter by the name of Jane McCloud...

I love these books. Continuations of the Firefly story before the movie. This one has the Firefly crew going to a planet to help the locals with the bad guys trying to steal their water.

Boy is it confusing reading a book where there is a guy Jayne and a girl Jane. Especially on audio! Like waiting for them to use pronouns.

This was my #doublespin in April.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! And that's a bit ridiculous on the names haha I get annoyed even when an author has similar names - like why do we have three characters whose names start with the same letter?? Or a current series I'm reading where one guy is named Mick and one guy is named Mack. I mean seriously, there are like a million names to choose from! 😂 2y

I‘m taking advantage of the Monster ‘Stachio napping to tackle a knitting project along with WhisperSyncing book 2 of #20in4 readathon.

ravenlee Ooh, I love your yarn! What are you making? 3y
SconsinBookyBadger @ravenlee it‘s the Striped Pillow Cover by designer Natalya Berezynska. Natalya1905 is her username on Ravelry, Lovecrafts, and Instagram. The pattern seems to be suitable for the wild colors of Malabrigo Rios Aniversario. 3y

🎧 Second book in the Firefly book series. I didn‘t think it was as good as the first one but not that far off.

The first scene 😆 River wearing Jane‘s hat was hilarious!

So Jane, an X-GF, a suspiciously aged daughter, a rescue, a betrayal, an outlaw gang ...

A very nice & worthy extension to the show!! I hope they keep these coming!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

An old flame of Jayne Cobb sends a desperate plea for help into the Black, and the crew head to the arid planet of Thetis. There they face off against a violent outlaw gang intent on monopolizing the planet's most precious resource - its water.

This reads very much like an episode of the TV show, and I enjoyed spending time with the crew - though I would have preferred the focus more on one of my favorites, Jayne comes off well.

Thanks for the tag @AkashaVampie !
1. Misbehaving throughout the ‘Verse with Captain Tightpants and his crew.
2. Overcast, sunny, cloudy, partly sunny , rain, maybe the sunshine one last time.
3. The one where I was stood up over and over by same person before I spoke up for myself and said enough.
4. No kids or pets. I borrow my dog niece Shandy when I need a pet companion for a couple days.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was such a great book. Loved the story, loved the dialogue, loved getting to spend time with the Serenity crew. Everything about this book was just perfection. There were so many laugh out loud moments, and a few tearful ones as well. I liked book one (Big Damn Hero), but this one blew it away.

#BookMail Pt5 This is the 2nd book in the Firefly series after Big Damn Hero. This one focuses on our favourite surly tough guy, Jane. An old friend of Janes, Temperance McCloud, asks for help when bandits overrun her home world. But when the crew of Serenity arrive they find more than bandits waiting, there‘s also a teenage girl by the name of Jane McCloud.

Zelma This makes me want to rewatch the series. 6y

A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

And he gave to the poor
Stood up to the man
And gave him what for
Our love for him now
Ain't hard to explain

The man they call Jayne
