has anyone ever read this book?
i bought it on a whim at a second hand bookshop and quite aside from it being a cracker, i get the feeling that it was part of joss' inspiration for 'firefly'.
anyone know what im talking about?

Never heard of it. What is it about, and is it good?

yeah im really enjoying it. its neither a space book nor a western. its actually the weaving of some stories relating to the settlement of europeans in tasmania. it has nothing to do with firefly really, except that there is a smuggler ship called 'sincerity', and its ragtag crew are trying to make their way while avoiding falling foul of the colonial rule of law.
in one way its a long bow to draw, but i just cant help thinking that this was something that joss was reading when he was dreaming up the crew of 'serenity'
