Description

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.

Stars can’t do it justice

This book was actually very difficult to rate. The story itself was great. I thoroughly enjoyed the story itself. The performance was good. I like Wil Wheaton and I think he did an ok job with the material he was given. I rated these pretty high because I don’t want my next portion to diminish what was an entertaining (albeit poorly grammer’d) story.

I am, however dumping my disdain of the “he said, she said, they said” into the overall score as I’m not entirely sure where else to put it. There is a problem with the story when, in several sections, every third or fourth word was followed by “(insert character) said”

Once Again Thought Provoking. ..

disguised as lite entertainment. John Scalzi is a master story teller with a sense a humour. There was one point I was worried. Thought the story was heading in a reckless direction. Wrong. Just a necessary plot point to turn us in the right direction.

Mediocre

Heard good reviews about this book specifically and this author so I picked this up.

Pros
- The premise is interesting
- narrator excellent as usual

Cons
- story way too short
- writing quality is mediocre at best
- weird side-story at the end is just awful

Meh.

Meh. It was ok, but I completely lost interest and abandoned it during the coda(s). It was a neat idea, but the execution just wasn't there for me.

Listened to the audiobook version and Will Wheaton's narration, which I ordinarily love, got to me after a while. There were too many characters that had the same sounding "voice" both in acting and in actual dialogue. Scalzi is sometimes dialogue-heavy which I don't mind, but when there are a lot of characters throwing fits of sarcasm around it starts to feel same-y. You can't help but notice the dialogue tags after a while, ",said Dahl ... ,said Finn ... ,said Dahl ... " etc

Only ok, not bad but not great

I appreciated the premise but two things prevent this from being great
First is the constant use of “He said/She said”. Scalzi does a reasonable job giving his characters some personality but the constant use of He said/She said distracts from the narrative
The second is unfortunately Wil Wheaton himself. His narration is good but he does little to make the characters distinct such as accents and different vocal cues. It was impossible to tell the characters apart without being told so
Despite these flaws overall this was still a good listen

Not bad, but not as good as I had hoped

The premise was very interesting. I was expecting a quirky and humorous tale of what those miserable redshirts get up to when they realize what is being done to them in a sci-fi movie. The “captain Kirk” persona should have been a gold mine of laughs waiting to happen.

The author did end up breaking the fourth wall, but took it in a different direction. That’s perfectly fine even if it is light on humour, but for a story built on unfortunate supporting cast breaking the fourth wall on a spaceship in the future, it fell short. Think mundane struggles being discussed in a coffee shop in 2012. I would possibly still give it four stars as the story was enjoyable enough mostly and had some nice moral conclusions and thought-provoking dialogue if not for the overuse and unnecessary use of f-bombs; they add nothing to the narrative that couldn’t be done without and ruin the experience a bit.

The performance is very solid and well done, but I have listened to others that go above and beyond by changing the voice and/or bringing the role to life. This one was just well done.

Narrator reads flat mono tone, Dullsville.

This is second of John Scalzi's books that I haven't listened beyond chapter one. I had such a difficult time listening to the narrator, who read the words flat without adding any life.
it was like listening the someone reading the longest attendance list.
I am unable to comment on the story because I did not listen to enough to make a comment.

Too many "F" - bombs. WAY TOO MANY.!

I really enjoyed this story but I had to cringe too many times at the language. I would like to recommend it to family and friends but I can't. The good story is ruined by the vulgar language. Will Weaton of course does an excellent narrative.

good book but said reviewers

this story was excellent and Wheaton does a great job reading although he seemed to struggle with Scalzi's format in this one. I continued to listen but either through writing or reading the use of character "A" said character "B" said was a little maddening.

Enjoyable despite its Quirks

I can’t say I loved the story, but I enjoyed the performance, and the author did a great job with his character and world building to make this an enjoyable listen. Wil Wheaton’s narration was a big plus.

Lots of debate on the codas, so when I reached them, I was curious. It felt too early or abrupt for the story to end. But it was a very curious mechanism for the author to employ. Coda 2 was the one I had trouble with (at least at the start), because of the authors use of “you” to have me think I was that character. Not appreciated when describing horrible things that happened, or poor frames of mind - in fact, I consider that dangerous mentally (it’s very direct language, “you are this,” etc.) I did find the story behind it, and each of the codas interesting, and worthwhile in the end.

But the end, although perfect for coda 3, seemed lacking for the book overall. Feels like a return to the Intrepid itself would have felt more complete.

Interesting book. Won’t be on my recommendation list, but I wouldn’t dissuade folks from reading/listening to it, either.
