Serenity novelization

I just read an exerpt from the Firefly novelization "Serenity" by Keith R. A. deCandido - it's a novelization of the movie, but the exerpt describes the Battle of Serenity Valley sequence that opened the two-part pilot of the show, "Serenity". And what can I say, the exerpt reads well.
I wasn't terribly eager to buy an official Firefly book since I have a low opinion of the Buffy tie-in line, but this one looks like I might buy it...
If you want to read fora yourself, follow the link, then go to the Browncoat site. The exerpt is listed under Browncoats blog, second item.

Squee!

Between yesterday and today I managed to write 2700 words. Which means that Four Fear is coming along nicely. Yay! I wrote the long chase, and I am currently writing the important drive home, and I'm really pleased with the results. Maybe the whole thing needed to mature that long?
One thing's for sure, I will try to keep at it until it's done. One more chunk to go directly before the piece I just wrote, and a chunk to bring everything to its conclusion. Wheee.

Thank you very much to everybody who helped me with my research, sharing knowledge and experience of county fairs and circuses. You've been a great help. For the first time in months I see light at the end of the tunnel. And then I can finally concentrate on my other two dozen WIPs. *faints*

Seriously? Once this fic is done I will line up three of my WIPs, poke them with a stick, and the first that shows signs of being alive, will get tackled. Yup!

I can't help wondering if doubling my St. John's wort dosage may have something to do with this sudden burst of crativity...
