NEW STORIES. UNSEEN PHOTOS. SHINY.
“We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty.”
Since its short-lived appearance on TV in 2002, Joss Whedon’s Firefly has indeed done the impossible. It’s sold over a half a million copies on DVD, spawned the hit movie Serenity, and most remarkably, inspired a loyal fan following — the Browncoats — whose numbers are still growing to this day.
Still Flying is a brand new celebration of all aspects of the show, featuring a wealth of rare and previously unpublished images — including storyboards, production design art and candid behind the scenes photos — memories from the cast and crew, a tribute to the Browncoats, and, as a special bonus:
EXCLUSIVE NEW FIREFLY FICTION BY WRITERS OF THE ORIGINAL TV EPISODES
FUN WITH DICK AND JAYNE written and drawn by Ben Edlund
WHAT HOLDS US DOWN by Jane Espenson
CRYSTAL by Brett Matthews

If you're a fan of Firefly, you'll enjoy this book - the stories I bought it for are a bit weak (roll on a novel one day...), but the updates on the Fandom, the cast etc. are interesting. I actually enjoyed this book more than the official companions for some reason, can't really say why! If you're new to Firefly I wouldn't start here (buy the DVD box set!), the companions (2) would be more helpful. If you are a fan already, why are you reading this & not the book?.....

I bought this book thinking it was by Joss Whedon and would offer new and deeper insights into the series. Instead it's a padded out piece of puff, including as photos polished up screengrabs from the title sequence... I mean, I love the show, but I'm not twelve - and even if I was I'd expect more than this.
The first thing I noticed that nowhere on the book does it say 'by Joss Whedon'. I rather think Amazon ought to change the description. This wasn't written by Joss Whedon - probably because he's too busy doing new stuff, and good on him - it appears to have been knocked up by some PR drone. Actors talking about how much fun it was... ok, yawn, next.

I liked this book a lot: nice items on the cast, including good pictures of the characters in the show and movie, information on the ships in the series, information on special effects, and last but certainly not least some nice short stories to tip it off. That actually is what I am truly missing in this great and interesting firefly universe (apart from additional seasons of the series and a second movie, obviously)is that there is not much of an expanded universe as there is in the Star Wars universe. And these stories, regrettably only short stories and not complete novels, do help to fill in that lack somewhat. Of course, there are the comics, but there are only 4 story lines in there, and hardly any information about the future (after Serenity, the movie). So, these stories for me fulfill a need, even if one of them is really depressing about what did happen to the characters after the events in the movie.
