When Andy Dahl is assigned to join the crew of the Universal Union Capital Ship, Intrepid, his excitement quickly turns to fear as he learns to avoid "Away Missions" at all costs. Low-ranking crew members' lives are lost on every trip, but not once is an officer killed by Borgovian Land Worms, Merovian Plagues or other treacherous alien beings. After comparing notes and discovering new, life-changing, world-shaking, brain-frying information, Andy and friends embark on a quest to an alternate universe and back again with amazing results and the addition of two surprising twists to the storyline. A hilarious romp that will especially entertain Star Trek fans, Redshirts is a truly enjoyable, fast-paced, escape. Not for sci-fi readers only!
Read-alikes include Emperor Mollusk Versus the Sinister Brain by A. Lee Martinez and Phule's Company by Robert Asprin.
