For those who don't know about this Brust wrote this off his own back
intending to sell it as a tie in novel because he loved the show.
Obviously it couldn't be sold.
Brust is the author of one of the best modern fantasy series, the vlad
taltos series. Its a bit different to most fantasy series in that it
isn't a fantasy epic but more a series of detective or crime type novels
set in a fantasy world. The main character Vlad Taltos starts off the
series as an organised crime assassin/don. There are overtones of a
larger story occurring across the whole series (which is incomplete) but
the tone certainly isn't epic. The tone of the series is what Brust fans
like to call first person smartass, which obviously implies that Firefly
is a perfect vehicle for his voice.
He's written a second series set in the same world, only thousands of
years earlier, which is a pastiche of the Three Musketeers books. Its the
series that begins with The Phoenix Guards.
