Ha, I skimmed right past that "second mate" business. @@ Hopefully it's just in this write-up and not in the novel...
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I just started it. Here's hoping River's "[edited because I am a dumbass] on the brain" is not a persistent metaphor.
I forgot how much I like Brust. Honestly kind of forgot he existed and it has been kind of surreal reviewing titles and covers and realizing I must have devoured half his library when I was somewhere between 16-21 and then I just went on to my next author.

At some point a decade or two ago I just got hopelessly confused about which Brust titles I had read and which I hadn't and just kind of hit pause on him. Still telling myself I will figure it out someday and resume.

No spoilers I'm only on page 110 but I'm just wondering if we know whether anyone has adapted the plot of this Brust novel into a Mission for the Firefly board game. I think it could be a lot of fun.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The Expanse s6e6 had a nice Firefly style crew-gathered-at-the-dining-table scene.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I was watching a YouTube video of some scientist-types in a deep-sea vehicle. They cane across some fancy cephalopods and kept saying, "shiny ... shiny". sigh ...

All is well that ends in pizza.
Over the years Firefly reactors are keeping the show flying.
On YouTube is a film student who five months ago was convinced to watch and react to Firefly and Serenity. It appears she hit every major emotional indicator including "Why did they cancel this???"
