As the writers create the plot, characters' free will temporarily ceases in order to progress “the Narrative” of the show.
Over the course of several away missions, various crew members suggest that the deaths are due to incompetence, superstition, or cosmic forces, requiring “sacrifices” of some crew members so that others will survive.Īfter several close calls, Dahl meets Jenkins, a crew member who offers a different theory: their reality and timeline are under periodic influence of a badly written television show from the past. In the prologue, several senior officers of the Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union, lament the unusually high number of casualties of low-ranking crew members during recent away missions and conclude that they will need more crewmen to replace them.ĭocking at a spaceport, the Intrepid takes on five new ensigns including Andrew Dahl, an expert in alien religions and xenobiology Dahl quickly discerns that the crew is extremely phobic of being near the senior officers and of going on away missions due to their unusually high fatality rate. The book won the 2013 Hugo Award for Best Novel and Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. The book was published by Tor Books in June 2012. The audiobook of the novel is narrated by Wil Wheaton.
