Science fiction
Ensign Andrew Dahl has just been posted to the Intrepid,
the flagship of the Universal Union fleet. It's a prestigious post, but
when Dahl arrives on board, he finds that life aboard the Intrepid
is just a little... well, strange. To start off, it seems like the crew
avoids their senior officers. Those that don't tend to get assigned to
away teams, and those assigned to away teams... often end up dead. Then
there's the Box, a device of unknown provenance that consistently offers
solutions to insoluble problems just in the nick of time. Something
isn't right on the Intrepid, and Dahl and his friends are going to get to the bottom of it - even if it means their world will never be the same.
Scalzi
has written a fast-paced, entertaining narrative great for fans of Star
Trek and similar sci-fi shows as well as people who enjoy a healthy
dose of "meta" in their fiction.
