Expeditionary Force by Craig Alanson Wiki


Dr. Mark Friedlander is a NASA Engineer (Rocket Scientist) on loan to and assigned by UNEF-Earth to the Science Team on the Flying Dutchman. He likes to tell jokes. He is infamous among the Pirates for getting the best of Skippy the Magnificent by asking him how you keep an idiot in suspense. He returned to Earth, but rejoined the Pirates for the Renegades mission.

Dr. Friedlander led the Science Team aboard the Valkyrie. He was perfectly suited to the position. Besides being extremely intelligent, he is personable and gets along with most everyone. He usually starts his meetings with a joke. By his own admission, he is a nerd, which helped a great deal when the native Maxolhx AI created worm was attacking Nagatha. His nerdiness allowed him to decode Nagatha's messages.

After spending some time helping set up the beta site on Avalon, he returned to Earth to be with his family.
