Années 2460. Lenseigne Andrew Dahl vient dêtre affecté à bord de lIntrépide, le prestigieux vaisseau amiral de lUnion universelle. Génial ! Pas tout à fait. Les jeunes recrues de léquipage ne tardent pas à sen apercevoir, les sans-grade comme eux ont une fâcheuse propension à trouver une mort spectaculaire au cours des missions dexploration alors que leurs supérieurs – le commandant, le premier officier scientifique et lhéroïque lieutenant Kerensky – sen tirent toujours à bon compte. Il faut bien ladmettre : les « redshirts » sont éminemment périssables. Compris. Sils tiennent à survivre en dépit de la couleur de leur tenue, Andrew et ses compagnons sont condamnés à résoudre le mystère et à trouver une parade. "Une farce éblouissante à se tordre de rire. Croyez-men, jai réglé leur compte moi aussi à un certain nombre de Redshirts." Melinda Snodgrass, scénariste en chef de Star Trek : The Next Generation.- Author: John Scalzi

Redshirts
Sie sind immer die Ersten – tot oder lebendig ... Fähnrich Andy Dahl heuert als Redshirt auf der Intrepid, dem Flaggschiff der Universal Union, an. Damit geht für den jungen Mann scheinbar ein Traum in Erfüllung. Bis er feststellt: Die Sterblichkeitsrate unter seinen Kollegen mit der roten Oberbekleidung auf Außeneinsätzen ist erschreckend hoch - und steigert sich noch, wenn ein Führungsoffizier mit dabei ist.

Redshirts
Redshirts is John Scalzi’s Hugo Award-winning novel of the starship ensigns who were expendable...until they started comparing notes. Tor Essentials presents new editions of science fiction and fantasy titles of proven merit and lasting value, each volume introduced by an appropriate literary figure. 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, with the chance to serve on "Away Missions" alongside the starship’s famous senior officers. Life couldn’t be better...until Andrew begins to realize that (1) every Away Mission involves a lethal confrontation with alien forces, (2) the ship’s senior officers always survive these confrontations, and (3) sadly, at least one low-ranking crew member is invariably killed. Unsurprisingly, the savvier crew members belowdecks avoid Away Missions at all costs. Then Andrew stumbles on information that 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. With a new introduction by Mary Robinette Kowal, author of the Hugo-winning The Calculating Stars.

Redshirts (NE)
Nueva edición de esta emblemática novela, ganadora del Premio Hugo 2013. El alférez Andrew Dahl acaba de ser destinado al Intrepid, buque insignia de la Unión Universal desde 2456. Es un destino de prestigio, y Andrew está más emocionado si cabe por el hecho de que lo hayan asignado al laboratorio de xenobiología de a bordo, lo que le dará la oportunidad de servir en misiones de desembarco junto a los famosos oficiales de la nave. Sus perspectivas no podrían ser mejores... hasta que Andrew empieza a comprender que cada misión de desembarco implica algún tipo de enfrentamiento letal con fuerzas alienígenas, el capitán de la nave, su oficial científico jefe y el atractivo teniente Kerensky siempre sobreviven a estos enfrentamientos, y lamentablemente, al menos uno de los tripulantes de bajo rango siempre, siempre, muere. Por tanto no sorprende que los tripulantes de las cubiertas inferiores eviten como la peste las misiones de desembarco. Y cuando Andrew tropieza con una información que transforma completamente tanto su propia visión como la de sus compañeros de lo que realmente es el Intrepid, surgirá la arriesgada oportunidad de salvar sus propias vidas. Gracias a su característico sentido del humor, John Scalzi es un referente de la ciencia ficción a nivel mundial, uno de los estandartes contemporáneos del catálogo de Minotauro. «Redshirts es tan divertida que puedes mearte encima, tan original que te sentirás como si leyeras a Philip K. Dick, y absurdamente rica en ideas y emociones. John Scalzi se propone impresionar y da en el blanco. Buena lectura y próspera vida.» — JOE HILL, autor de El traje del muerto «Puedo decir con honestidad que no recuerdo otro libro que me haya hecho reír tanto.» —PATRICK ROTHFUSS, autor de El nombre del viento «Divertida a más no poder, una maravillosa comedia. Puedes creerme: he matado a un montón de redshirts.» —MELINDA SNODGRASS, guionista de Star Trek: La nueva generación «Scalzi desmonta el universo de Star Trek y lo monta de nuevo para que resulte más plausible... Y también más hilarante.» LEV GROSSMAN, autor de Los magos"- Author: John Scalzi
