The ugly, but useful spaceship, the ragtag band of misfits, and the blurred lines between right and wrong are all reminiscent of that ill-fated Whedon classic. This book totally has a Firefly vibe, which I greatly appreciated. “Avalon is the perfect fit for teens new to sci-fi as well as seasoned sci-fi readers looking for more books in the YA space-and a great match for fans of Joss Whedon’s cult hit show Firefly.” A shocking discovery aboard the Donerail forces Jeth to consider just how far he will go to gain the freedom he so desires. The interplanetary government also has an interest in what the ship contains and both parties are willing to kill to possess it. Unfortunately, Hammer is not the only one interested in the disabled Donerail. Despite rumors of hauntings and mysterious disappearance in the Belgrave, the Avalon is well equipped to make the journey and the job should be relatively simple to complete. According to Hammer the ship is unoccupied and carrying a valuable weapon. Jeth and his crew have been instructed to journey into the dangerous Belgrave sector of space and retrieve a disabled ship. Hammer’s latest assignment could be just the ticket to getting the Avalon back. Jeth and his crew of teenaged thieves are nearly unstoppable and each job gets him and his sister one step closer to freedom. Ever since his parents died and his uncle gambled away their spaceship, Avalon, seventeen-year old Jeth Seagrave has been under the control of the crime lord Hammer DeFoe.
