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. Unsurprisingly, the savvier crew members belowdecks avoid Away Missions at all costs. 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. It's a prestige posting, with the chance to serve on "Away Missions" alongside the starship's famous senior officers.
