"A Browncoat at heart, Sheriff Mal Reynolds does have to admit that there might be one single perk to a government job: actually having the time to court Inara Serra, now that he doesn't have to worry about things like dodging the government. But something's fishy with the Blue Sun executives who have taken up residence in Mal's sector...will investigating it mean walking away from Inara?"

THE NEW ERA OF FIREFLY CONTINUES! The crew of Serenity need to go where the Alliance can't reach them. And that one place may be The-Earth-That-Was, a strange world filled with ancient artifacts, a new civilization and...maybe some semblance of hope. Well, if Captain Kaylee and Captain Mal can somehow get along...

WILL SERENITY SURVIVE FIRST CONTACT? *  The crew of Serenity make first contact with the natives of The-Earth-That-Was, and like Captain Mal in his prime, they get off on the wrong foot. *  But will Captain Kaylee be able to find peace by doing something that would have been unthinkable for Mal? *  Meanwhile, Zoe dives deep into what it means to be a Washburne.

On The-Earth-That-Was there's no time for a reunion as Captain Mal and Captain Kaylee are pulled into a conflict neither of them wanted. Lucky for them, River has everything under control. That's good... isn't it?

Can the legacy of Shepherd Book unite two men and a new world? Lank and Mal had very different relationships with Shepard, but his lessons to each of them may be critical for taking on the moral challenges of this world. Will their individual bonds with Shepard Book bring them together, and bring Mal back into the world?

Can the crew of the Serenity protect the Earth That Was and evade the Alliance when the time comes? The clock is ticking as our heroes realize the Alliance is rebuilding their portal and will eventually come for them here on Earth That Was. Even as they've been grappling with their own compromised status as colonizers, they will do whatever it takes to prevent the Alliance from destroying everything these people have.

What happens when your worst enemy becomes your only ally? With her sights set on freeing Leonard, Kaylee's team chases the Jefa across the Earth That Was only to be led directly into a trap. But everything changes when they get attacked by plunderer robos who have been tracking both groups... to exterminate them all. Now, Kaylee must team up with the Jefa in order to fend off the robos. But if they survive this, how will they survive each other?

After taking care of the plunderer boss threat, the crew learns how much hard work goes into creating a community that endures-especially when self-governance is the goal. Meanwhile, the Washbot tries to find his place and role in this new world separate from his borrowed identity as a duplicate of Wash. In the midst of problems and imperfections, there's hope on the horizon. But when an unexpected event throws everything into chaos, will this be a new start... or the beginning of the end?

"* With the Alliance onslaught defeated, Kaylee faces the grim choices and sacrifices involved in saving the Earth That Was. * Which of the crew will follow their Captain, ready to make peace with the past and face what future the 'Verse holds for them? * And if our heroes can take care of the Alliance once and for all, what destiny will the Washbot choose?"
