Star Trek: Red Shirts--Ghost of the 21st Century

Someone inside Starfleet Security is selling out the Federation, and they’re using latinum-stuffed red shirt corpses to do it.

When conscripted security grunt Harry Deubert finds himself cleaning the torn-apart bodies of his comrades, he hits his breaking point. Teaming up with Lyna Taval, an Andorian officer with her own covert agenda, Deubert swears vengeance against Captain Miller, the head of the corrupt Section Null—a secret Starfleet directorate turning disposable red shirts into assets in a sprawling criminal conspiracy.

Risen from the ranks of expendable red shirts himself, Miller isn’t about to let two upstarts like Deubert and Taval expose his decades-long infiltration into the highest levels of Starfleet. With the might of Section Null behind him, he sets out to silence the two whistleblowers, who rapidly realize there’s nowhere for them to run.

In the sequel series to the critically acclaimed Star Trek: Red Shirts miniseries, Gerry Duggan (Deadpool) and Scott Buoncristiano (The Dark Room) bring this spy thriller to even bloodier heights than the first.
