Finding Serenity is a collection of twenty essays, a glossary of Chinese used on the Firefly television series, and an introduction by the editor Jane Espenson, who wrote the episode "Shindig" for the series. Most of the essays, which cover a wide variety of topics, are quite humorous and all of them are interesting, especially if one is familiar with Firefly.
