# The Ghost Machine: Firefly - Hardcover

by **James Lovegrove** (Author)

**Winner of the 2020 Dragon Award for Best Media Tie-in Novel**  
  
**The third original novel tying into the critically acclaimed and much-missed _Firefly_ series from creator Joss Whedon.**  

**Some hot property**  
Mal's crew desperately need another payday, but not desperately enough to transport a Blue Sun flightcase to Badger, no questions asked, when the area is swarming with Alliance spacecraft equally keen to regain the stolen property. Yet Jayne refuses to miss out, and sneaks the case aboard _Serenity_.

**Lucid Dreams**  
Within hours of secreting the case Jayne suddenly finds himself back on the Cobb homestead with his brother Matty miraculously cured of the damplung. Wash is at the controls of the highest-spec cruiser money can buy, the billionaire head of a 'verse-spanning business empire. All of the crew but River are soon immersed in vivid hallucinations of their deepest desires, while their bodies lie insensible on the ship.

**Fantasies gone sour**  
Wash's empire begins to crumble; the Cobb ranch is under attack by merciless bandits. As everyone's daydreams turn nightmare, _Serenity_ floats on a crash course towards a barren moon, with only River standing between the crew and certain oblivion.
