And it's very well written! I found one minor typo, and there was one (admittedly largish) plot point that I really disagreed with. Otherwise a very nice addition to the Firefly 'verse!
It was especially interesting to me to compare My Own Kind of Freedom with the four Amber prequels I just read, written by Betancourt. Those actually managed to get published but they were horrible. Full of editing errors, bad plotting and even worse dialog.
I bought the first three of the Amber prequels as ebooks and read them on my laptop, since I don't have an actual ebook reader. Between those three and My Own Kind of Freedom I really enjoyed the experience of going ebook-ish. It would have been even better if I did have a good reader, but so far none of the ones on the market have really done it for me. I do love the fact that I don't need to find yet more room in my over crowded bookshelves. Not being able to lend the Amber ebooks to friends might have been a problem if they had been any good, but...

I'm enjoying it too.
I'm reading the Word Doc file on my my Palm TX.

a right shiny little book. Read it all, "cover 2, cover" I printed mine out as I prefer to read in bed and laptops get heavy when you hold 'em up but anyway..
I'd sure recommend "My Own Kind of Freedom" for those with any kind of a bent toward reading skills. I don't understand why two people were missing but... maybe that's fodder for the next book. Keep the ink flowing, Steven Brust!!!!
