Redshirts: A Novel with Three Codas (MP3)

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.
