Read the sequel too. They're just good fun, well written and not heavy reading

You might like Red Shirts. A self aware poke at Star Trek.

Starter Villain by the same author (John Scalzi) is a fun read.

Oh, thank you. I'm going to read it!

Almost everything by that author is a good read. I have a few minor complaints, but his work is good entertainment.

I was introduced to him via the Old Man's War series, which I loved at the time.

I'll look for more of his stuff, thanks for the tip! I'm always looking for my next favorite book.
