I am listing to <a href='http://www.audible.com/pd?asin=B007SP2LPM' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Redshirts: A Novel with Three Codas</a> Narrated by Wil Wheaton. I am almost finish and so far its really good and funny.
"Ensign Andrew Dahl has just been assigned to the Universal Union Capital Ship Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union since the year 2456. ItÆs a prestige posting, and Andrew is thrilled all the more to be assigned to the shipÆs Xenobiology laboratory. Life couldnÆt be betteràuntil Andrew begins to pick up on the facts that (1) every Away Mission involves some kind of lethal confrontation with alien forces; (2) the shipÆs 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 colleaguesÆ understanding of what the starship Intrepid really isàand offers them a crazy, high-risk chance to save their own lives."
