The first part is a blatant rip-off of Charles Portis's "True Grit", which was irritating and unnecessary, but then it settles down into a story of off-world meddling, local bad-guys, and our Big Damn' Heroes wading in on the side of the little guys. It felt a bit rushed and confused in places, and the voices of the crew weren't as convincing as her previous work in the 'verse "Firefly - Carnivale", but definitely worth a read. ( )
