STAR TREK: REDSHIRT'S LITTLE BOOK OF DOOM is Released

In the successful tradition of adult pop culture humor books like Stuck on Star Trek, A Very Klingon Christmas, and the author's own Fun with Kirk and Spock, Star Trek: Redshirt's Little Book of Doom casts a wry, satirical, and reverential eye on one of the most popular and well-loved television and film franchises of all time.

It's common knowledge that if a Star Trek character is wearing a red shirt, chances are he's going to die. But there are so many other ways red shirt-wearers can be humiliated. By mining the humorous depths of Star Trek's most popular in-jokes-that anyone wearing a red shirt is doomed-this book chronicles the many ways one Starfleet officer's day can be ruined.

Poor Red Shirt just can't catch a break. Whether he's dealing with real-life problems like accidentally mixing whites with colors, being stuck sitting behind a very tall Gorn in a movie theater, or trying out a standup comedy routine in front of an audience of unamused Vulcans, our hapless hero faces a universe-sized number of obstacles.

Under license by CBS Consumer Products, Star Trek: Redshirt's Little Book of Doom sees Kirk, Spock, Uhura, and the rest of the Enterprise crew embark on a hilariously strange new voyage through Redshirt's daily trials and Tribble-ations. Featuring hilarious illustrations and witty gags that both pop culture fans and Star Trek fans will adore, Star Trek: Redshirt's Little Book of Doom is a fresh new take on one of the most beloved sci-fi sagas of all time.
