One of Serenity's greatest mysteries is finally revealed in The Shepherd's Tale, filling in the life of one of the show's most beloved characters - Shepherd Book! Who was Book before meeting Mal and the rest of the Serenity crew, how did he become one of their most trusted allies, and how did he find God in a bowl of soup? Answers to these and more questions about Book's past are uncovered in this original hardcover graphic novel by rising stars Zack Whedon (Dr. Horrible, Terminator, Fringe) and Chris Samnee (Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps, Daredevil) . A pivotal chapter in the ongoing Serenity saga, The Shepherd's Tale is also a rollicking, action-packed epic in its own right.

You know he has a story, and it is amazing!
The tale itself is fabulously written, but it is also greatly structured. The story is told backwards, starting with his demise, and ending with the beginning, his childhood. Each tale is told in a few pages, perfectly linked, like a series of flashback events.
I highly recommend it, and you do not need to have read the previous 2 volumes to read this one, so go right ahead and pick it up now.

Nice to see into Book's past, and as always, great to have more firefly based work, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too short. I could watch and read this stuff for days and be fine with it. It may not actually bee too short, but I am still sad it's gone...

Great book. I mean, yes, it's totally heart-wrenching, but a must-read for any Firefly/Serenity fans. Leaves you with rather more questions than you started with, but in the good way.

Questions finally answered
Shepherd Book was such a great character who very clearly had a past story that the show wanted to tell one day. Unfortunately the show never had the chance to do so. Read more

A concentration on Book and interestingly done.
It certainly took my concentration to follow this story and how it is told but it was so satisfying to get to the end of this series of flashbacks and tales and find my knowledge... Read more

Sort of disapointed
It explains books background, but that's all it does. There's no engaging plot, or new characters. I finished it in 20 minutes, and was slightly underwhelmed by it.

At Last!
Those of us fortunate enough to be a part of the Browncoat Cruise in 2007 have been waiting nearly 3 years for this book to finally come to fruition. Read more

A good addition to the Firefly universe
The Shepherd's Tale is a good addition to the Firefly universe, but it is not perfect. It is certainly head and shoulders above Those Left Behind, Better Days and Float Out,... Read more
