Its a deconstructive parody of sci-fi, especially Star Trek, and to a lesser extent of the television industry. I was afraid it would just rehash Galaxy Quest, but instead it took things in a really interesting direction.

These old books have a seemingly interminable amount of build up describing the hero's life story before something interesting happens.

Sort of Sharpe in reverse, not as good as Sharpe, but hugely enjoyable. This time it's a Gentleman who for reasons of his own joins as an enlisted man and rises to the rank of Sergeant.

It took so long for anything remotely interesting to happen that I almost gave up on it more than once.
