english passengershas 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?

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'
