Hugo Award winner John Scalzi's new work! Have you ever doubted that you are just a supporting character in a story... The universe, the last frontier of mankind. The Dauntless, the flagship of the Interstellar Alliance, is a famous heroic ship. It is performing great missions in the universe, exploring new worlds, looking for new civilizations, and bravely sailing into the wilds of the universe that no one has ever gone before. For all this, Dahl, a junior officer who had just been transferred to the ship, felt both glorious and excited... Until he discovered: (1) Every seemingly ordinary field mission inevitably encounters incredible dangers; (2) The ship's captain, chief scientific officer and handsome navigator always survive in dramatic ways; (3) Unfortunately, without exception, at least one crew member with a lower rank will die during the mission. In order to save himself and prevent the next field mission from being the end of his life, Dahl and his partners embarked on a crazy and thrilling adventure.
