This is a funny quick read with some interesting philosophical questions. I am not sure how to tell talk about the book without giving it away so here is what is I think is safe. Ensign Andrew Dahl is a new crew member onboard the Intrepid. At first there is excitement over being on a star class spa...
Ensign Andrew Dahl, recently assigned to the Universal Union's flagship Intrepid, is not entirely sure what is wrong with the ship. Traveling through space, in a far away galaxy, the Intrepid is a choice assignment with the change to explore and discover new civilizations. But the away missions rac...
A twisted tale of the poor Redshirt extras that all became so killed on that classic TV Show. What would happen if they were real, and if they figured out their odds of death ? Funny, smart, wickedly twisted and just fun.
Wow, this is the wrong morning to try to review a light-hearted book. I'm sleep deprived, stressed about family issues, and about to cry if someone so much as looks at me sideways. I contemplated putting this review to the side and writing it later. Fuck it. Let's see how it goes. It's almost too ba...
I am a sci-fi/fantasy nerd. I love the Stark Trek films (even though when you think about it half the things they do are not scientifically possible). And have watched everything from Doctor Who to Battlestar Gallatica. However, my secret shame is that I don't read a lot of sci-fi/fantasy novels wit...
This book accomplishes what very few other sci-fi books can do. It makes you laugh out loud. It's not the most original story, but it will make you laugh out loud because of the dialogue and situations, and you will be interested in the story's main arc.A perfect book for a car trip with a fellow li...
A Redshirt is a character who is ultimately pointless. They exist in a certain type of science fiction show (you know the ones I'm talking about) simply to provide a brief bit of drama when they die on screen, usually on an away mission, and generally their lives and deaths are forgotten by the view...
This book won the Hugo? For some reason, I expect books that win prizes like that to be something mindblowing. Guess what: this wasn't. Hannu Rajaniemi's book was, for example, even if I only understood half of it. So this was something of a funny adventure / metastory, somewhat likable characters...
Redshirts is the first book I’ve read by John Scalzi. In fact, it’s the first SF/Fantasy book for adults that I’ve read in a very long time. For various reasons, I tend to stick with YA for my SF/Fantasy reads. However, when I heard about the premise of Redshirts, I thought it sounded like a lot of ...
It didn't surprise me that I liked this book—it came to my attention through Patrick Rothfuss' high praise and the publisher's blurb piqued my interest. What surprised me was how much I liked it. I breezed through it in a couple days, often laughing but I'll cop to shedding a tear at the end. Given ...
