Big Damn Hero by James Lovegrove

This is the first original novel tying into the critically acclaimed and much-missed Firefly series.

The book synopsis is as follows:

The Battle of Serenity Valley was the turning point that led the Independents to their defeat at the hands of the Alliance. Yet the Browncoats had held the valley for weeks against all odds, before being ordered to lay down their arms. Command stated they refused to send in airpower because the ground war was “too hot.” But the soldiers who were there insist that was not true…

While picking up a new cargo on Persephone, Captain Malcolm Reynolds is kidnapped by a bunch of embittered veteran Browncoats who suspect him of sabotaging the Independents during the war. As the rest of the crew struggle to locate him, Mal is placed on trial for his life, fighting compelling evidence that someone did indeed betray them to the Alliance all those years ago. As old comrades and old rivals crawl out of the woodwork, Mal must prove his innocence, but his captors are desperate and destitute, and will settle for nothing less than the culprit’s blood.

Marvel Avenger Gauntlet Lamp

This battery-operated, cordless Infinity Gauntlet lamp, based on the gauntlet as worn by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, features all six Infinity Stones, which jump to life with the press of the power button.
