Star Trek: Red Shirts - Ghosts of the 21st Century
Solicitation: On the Federation's farthest frontier, red shirts don't just die--they're used. When conscripted security grunt Harry Deubert finds contraband hidden inside a fallen comrade's body, he uncovers Section Null--a secret Starfleet directorate turning disposable red shirts into assets in a sprawling criminal conspiracy. Teaming with Lyna Taval, an Andorian officer with her own covert agenda, Deubert digs too deep... and becomes a target. Someone inside Starfleet Security is selling out the Federation. And once Deubert and Taval learn what red shirts are really for, there's no going back.

Star Trek: Red Shirts - Ghosts of the 21st Century
Solicitation: Harry Deubert wasn't always an "upstanding" member of the Federation. Once upon a time, he was a thief. And a damn good one. Today, he's a haunted man, spiraling--and all it takes is one good drink and the ripped-open body of his buddy, stuffed with contraband, for him to decide his life as an indentured servant to Section Null is over. He's gonna blow whatever this cadaver conspiracy is wide open. Step one? Confronting Chief Officer Miller.

Star Trek: Red Shirts - Ghosts of the 21st Century
Solicitation: Section Null is capable of being anywhere and anyone. Not even the brass at the tippy top of Starfleet can be trusted. Andorian spy Lyna Taval and ex-bomber Harry Deubert only have each other to rely on, but both of them are wanted by their enemies... and by each other. And that complicates things. Chased to the edges of the quadrant, there's only one course of action left for them both: to take the fight to their greatest betrayer, the rat laundering latinum in reds shirts' corpses for a mysterious end game--Chip Miller. But the rot in Starfleet runs deeper than one man's involvement, and death flirts at the edge of every shadow.
