About this book

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to soar through space like a leaf on the wind in a Firefly spaceship, this is the manual for you. "You ever sail in a Firefly?" The Allied Spacecraft Corporation's Firefly-class transport ship has become a favorite among smugglers on the Rim worlds since the Independence War. The spacecraft's many nooks, crannies, and hidden compartments give it an incredible cargo capacity, and its speed and small size make it the perfect getaway vehicle. But not all Firefly transports are made alike and, as revealed in this crew-created manual, the Series 3 Serenity is shinier than the rest of 'em. Featuring in-depth techical blueprints, personal mementos, and quippy commentary from Mal, Kaylee, and the rest of the crew, The Serenity Handbook dives deep into the heart of the beloved Firefly and celebrates the series' legacy.

Marc Sumerak began his writing career in the late 1990s as co-creator of the on-line comic book site, Abandoned Warehouse Press. While earning a BFA in Creative Writing at Bowling Green State University, Sumerak spent a semester as a Marvel Comics Editorial Intern. Soon after, Sumerak landed his first writing assignment -- AVENGERS CASEBOOK 1999.
