Captain Malcolm Reynolds, his first mate Zoë Washburne and the ragtag crew of Serenity have been torn apart by Boss Moon, the Unificators and the gorram Alliance itself--but they're nothing compared to the allies Mal's gonna have to turn to to stop them, starting with one of the most ruthless, terrifying people in the entire 'verse: Ma Reynolds! With a new war brewing, the Alliance on the verge of gaining more power than ever, and Mal's own freedom on the line, our good Captain is going to be reminded that saving the day always comes at a higher price than you thought. The New York Times best-selling author Greg Pak (Star Wars), artist Dan McDaid (Doom Patrol) and visionary Firefly creator Joss Whedon (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Marvel's The Avengers) conclude the definitive story of the Unification War...and send the crew of Serenity in a shocking new direction.
