The book starts out with a sort of grunts by the water cooler feel. John Scalzi is the funniest writer out there and with Wil Wheaton they are the best duo to listen to. This is from the view of those thousands of crew members that do the actual work, that take the non-sensible orders from the higher ups and make the ship work. shows and all the movies, but you got to believe this is the real Star Trek.

Wheaton's you might be willing to forgive his shortcomings as a narrator, but I might still recommend the text version over the audiobook. The story itself is a fabulous farce, with really interesting philosophical implications. It doesn't help that some of the character names can be similar to, so you're struggling to catch who said what. And then you're just tired of hearing the word "said." There isn't even really a differentiation between the male characters and the one female character which can be incredibly confusing. You end up having to pay careful attention to the "he said she saids" at end of most of the lines. However his total lack of character voices make some of the dialogue heavy passages really challenging to follow. His delivery of some of the deadpan and laugh out loud lines in this book is excellent. I love Wil Wheaton reading this book read by a former actor on Star Trek is kind of amazing.
