Who would have guessed that Book was actually...

So, has anyone read Serenity: The Shepherd's Tale? I suppose if Firefly had kept going, we might have learned all about Book's past as the show went on. Or maybe not. This is Joss after all. ;-) But now that I read The Shepherd's Tale, I kind of wish I hadn't. Leaving Book this super mysterious guy is more interesting than knowing, well...

Don't get me wrong, it's great to have new Firefly canon to play with, but I'm always hesitant when that canon adds something to a character's past. You never know what to expect. But I guess Joss has nothing else to lose when it comes to Firefly. So, does this mean we'll eventually get a story about Inara's past?
