For mkv files, mkvmerge is excellent. It is part of package mkvtoolnix. 
To concatenate multiple mkv files:

mkvmerge -o Serenity_full.mkv Serenity_1.mkv +Serenity_2.mkv 
+Serenity_3.mkv

You can also use other types of input files and create an mkv file:

mkvmerge -o Serenity_full.mkv Serenity_1.mp4 +Serenity_2.mp4 
+Serenity_3.mp4

mkvmerge can also fix audio sync, repair mkv files and do lots more.  
mkvtoolnix is available in the default distribution, or you can download 
later versions from a private repo at http://www.bunkus.org
