Why this must be read:
Set a few weeks after Objects in Space (and written pre-Serenity, I believe), this is a novella-length story about Serenity crash-landing on a mining planet with a strong Alliance presence, and the compromises Mal has to make in order to protect his crew and repair his ship.
Brilliant, dead-on Mal voice that just makes me love him more, for the way he loves his ship and his crew. All the characters are well-handled here, and the story is intriguing and absorbing.
"I don't care," Mal said, kicking back the chair he'd been resting his foot on. It smashed against the edge of the table and rebounded, tipping over onto the floor cascading splinters. "You know why? Because you don't get a say in what I do with my ship. I say. Me. And I say she's getting fixed up and I don't want to be listening to any more of this gou shi. Serenity may be down right now, but I'm still in charge here... you all might want to take note of that." He glared around the set of faces; Zoe at her most neutral, Wash with furrowed brow, little Kaylee looking tearful and every bit sold, Book almost approving, Jayne with blank surliness, Simon with his lips pressed tight. "Now, 'bout our plan of action for that whole 'fixing up' part. Do we have anything constructive to bring to this discussion?"
