Ensign Andrew Dahl has just been assigned to the Universal Union Capital Ship Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union since the year 2456. It’s a prestige posting, and Andrew is thrilled all the more to be assigned to the ship’s Xenobiology laboratory. Life couldn’t be better…until Andrew begins to pick up on the facts that (1) every Away Mission involves some kind of lethal confrontation with alien forces; (2) the ship’s captain, its chief science officer, and the handsome Lieutenant Kerensky always survive these confrontations; and (3) at least one low-ranked crew member is, sadly, always killed.

Not surprisingly, a great deal of energy below decks is expended on avoiding, at all costs, being assigned to an Away Mission. Then Andrew stumbles on information that completely transforms his and his colleagues’ understanding of what the starship Intrepid really is…and offers them a crazy, high-risk chance to save their own lives.

At first things are not going well for the junior officers of the UUS Intrepid: they are trapped in a mad universe and programed to die as redshirts on away missions (being a ”Star Trek” insider is an essential perquisite to understand anything at all). The only advise they get is “Avoid the narrative!” something the author does too - hence a few hours of nothing but dialogs. The protagonist and the listener are on the verge of being completely annoyed and quitting, but then things change…

The story really takes of as soon as the redshirts take their fate into their own hand and the result is just great. John Scalzi tops it by adding three codas and thereby giving it an emotional depth one would not have expected at first. Add to that Wil Wheaton as narrator – after all Wesely Crusher was a redshirt too…

Avoiding the Narrative

enjoyable, well-crafted, fun narration.
True, the "X said" is noticeable, but it fades out eventually.

Nice little story

Ich finde den Sprecher (im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Rezensenten) super angenehm und das "he said" ist mir überhaupt nicht als störend aufgefallen. Die eigentliche Story ist eigentlich nach 2/3 durch und dann kommen Nachbrenner aus verschiedenen Perspektiven, die ich teilweise als etwas langatmig empfand, Der Happy-End-Schluss ist dann wieder kitschig-schön

Amüsante SciFi-Geschichte und toller Sprecher

I have yet to finish the book, but so far the story is rather amusing.

The concept is nice and something new, but the writing style is atrocious.
Not sure if it would be as noticeable in book form but when it is read it is garing.

The worst part so far has been when two of the main characters talk early on

x said....y said.....x said.....y said....x said....y said. Very rarely is there any differentiation from this pattern.
Had the narrator been able to adapt his voice enough to differentiate between characters (which I'm sure he could have) and had he been allowed to leave out all the superflous "x said y said" I would be able to talk more indepth about smaller traits of the book.

Overall this would make for a nice audioplay instead of a audiobook. Or a movie/black mirror episode

Würden Sie Redshirts noch mal anhören? Warum?

Yes. It's loads of fun.

Was mochten Sie an der Handlung am liebsten?

Scalzi makes everything fit together perfectly, in a way that still manages to surprise and delight.

Welche Figur hat Wil Wheaton Ihrer Meinung nach am besten interpretiert?

All of them.

Hätten Sie das Hörbuch am liebsten in einem Rutsch durchgehört?

No, that's too long for me.

Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?

It's not a book about Star Trek, but there are many references that are certainly funnier for people who are familiar with the series.

Loved it! A must for Star Trek fans!
