I like that witness protection program idea. That's one I hadn't really thought about.
I've also heard the idea that Book is the general that crushed the Browncoats in Serenity Valley. I'm not too sure on that one - remember that Firefly is supposed to be about the little people that the grandeur of history kinda tramples on - so it's more likely he was Mal's equivalent, a sergeant or something like it who still felt responsible for what happened. Of course, that makes that whole episode with the Alliance cruiser in 'Safe' a little confusing, since they wouldn't be jumping around like that over a little ex-sergeant.
The whole 'Richard Wilkins' thing is probably a wee in-joke for the Buffy fans.
And whatever Book is, he's not undercover; a Shepherd doesn't know about guns and crime, and anyone who's pretending to be one wouldn't act like they knew that sort of stuff. We can already see Jayne's onto him, and everyone else wouldn't be too far behind. If Book is undercover, he's a crap undercover agent, because he's blowing his cover a little more with every episode. He'll be dead soon at this rate.

Interestingly, there is an author by the name of Richard Wilkens.
I wonder if God brought strawberries?
