A disreputable scientist

Through their shock and despair, rumors of a cure reach the crew. Expert Esau Weng is said to have developed a means to treat Inara’s condition, but he has been disgraced and incarcerated for life on a notorious Alliance prison planet.

An infamous prison

On Atata planet, inmates are abandoned with no guards and left to survive as best they can. What’s more, terraforming the planet did not take properly, so the world is a frozen wasteland. To save Inara, the Serenity crew must infiltrate the prison....

Enjoyable

The story got a bit bogged down halfway through so I skipped through a few chapters of snow and survival. Really enjoyed River's spaceship part in the mission.

Firefly fan

It’s was fabulous. It felt like I was watching the one of the episodes in this series.
A shame it never continued…

The voice actor did a superb job of creating the characters and atmosphere. As a “firefly fan” I loved listening to this.

Thanks
