Redshirts Sometimes Survive

“A love letter to all of us in the Bridge Crew who found family in other Trek fans. Both funny and heartbreaking.” - Gail Anderson-Dargatz, bestselling author of The Almost Widow A neglected boy clings to an action figure like a lifeline. A trans man meets his childhood hero. An introvert finally finds her voice at a protest. Queer fans, lonely children, awkward convention-goers, and disillusioned adults seek out their favourite starships and captains for solace and strength. In these interconnected flash stories, the outcasts, the rebels, the bullied, and the weird find themselves, one other, and a place to call home. By turns moving, thoughtful, and wry, Redshirts Sometimes Survives offers connection and comfort. Being a redshirt doesn’t mean you’re doomed. Sometimes, it means you survive. “A must-have collection for geeks of all generations.” - Cait Gordon, award-winning author of Season One: Iris and the Crew Tear Through Space! "Hilarious, harrowing, and kind." - Michelle Butler Hallett, award-winning, disabled novelist and deep Trekkie, Constant Nobody
