    Summary: Leta Adler is a young, well-bred Vescentian doctor who suddenly gets plucked off of her home planet by the unregistered criminal rustbucket, the Dionysian. The rustbucket she finds herself on belongs to the notorious weapons-dealing, smuggling and recklessly mad mercenary , Fiearius Soliveré and his younger brother, acclaimed engineering genius and unappreciated mechanic, Cyrus, both exiles from their home planet of Satieri and ever on the run from its spreading empirical government.

    Though initially apprehensive, Leta finds an unlikely ally against a common enemy in the pair and their rabble of a misfit crew. With her own goals in mind and in the uniquely qualified hands of the Dionysian’s captain, she joins up and, over time, finds that the ship becomes more of a home than she could ever imagine.

    Not a huge amount to say. Another web serial like Worm and A Grey World. Sci-fi setting with a lot of Space Opera and Space Western elements. Characters can feel a little bit two-dimensional or slightly stereotypical in parts, but overall the writing pulls through. Also has a lot of side content in the form of in-universe news stories and pictures and the like.

    4/5 from me, worth a read. If you like Firefly you might like this.

    Bumped to gain attention.

    I need more votes and or reviews before I move it - especially if people think it should be moved into the library.

    As it has 3.5 stars right now, I'll give it until next weekend, then I'll move it into the recycling bin.

    EDIT: Moved based on the current 4 stars (Jan. 26. 2013)
