Publisher's summary

When Lister got drunk, he really got drunk!

After celebrating his birthday with a Monopoly-board pub crawl around London, he came to in a burger bar on one of Saturns moons, wearing a lady's pink crimplene hat and a pair of yellow fishing waders, with no money and a passport in the name of "Emily Berkenstein".

Joining the Space Corps seemed a good idea. Red Dwarf, a clapped out spaceship, was bound for Earth. It never made it, leaving Lister as the last remaining member of the human race, three million light years from Earth, with only a dead man, a senile computer, and a highly evolved cat for company.

They begin their journey home. On the way, they'll break the light barrier. They'll meet Einstein, Archimedes, God, and Norman Wisdom...and discover an alternative plane of reality.

I can't recommend this enough for fans.

If you could sum up Red Dwarf in three words, what would they be?

Fantastic voice impersonations.

Have you listened to any of Chris Barrie’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I've seen every episode of Red Dwarf the series. He gets the other characters and actors spot on. He's freakishly accurate.

Any additional comments?

A large portion of the book mirrors the series. I'd say the story is on par with the writing for the series. Fun to hear some of the characters' internal dialogue.

Expands on the TV series in a fun way.

This book includes a few retcons from the series but also includes some word for word scenes that makes it familiar but also fun to experience the story in a different way. And being narrated by a wonderful impressionist who does an impeccable job of bringing the whole cast to life is simply a bonus.

Chris Barrie is Amazing!

While I find the story a little too much frat boy at points, Chris Barrie is truly talented. I can only imagine he must have been pretty funny on the set back in the day doing dead on imitiations of all his co-stars. I had to check the credits 3 times to make sure the real, original actors weren't part of the production. Yup, it's all Chris Barrie. And bonus, they play the Red Dwarf theme song. (The music-only version.)

Overall i enjoyed the experience. Chris Barry did an amazing job with the voices - incredible. He is obviously very talented. Like with the show, its hilarious and very dark.

Faithful rendition of a classic SciFi TVshow

Funny, poignant, and over the top. A great story that is worth the time invested. And Chris Barrie's narration is exceptional! He imitates the voices of the original TV actors PERFECTLY. It is hard to believe that he nailed every voice. Enjoy this one!

Really funny book. Very close to the series.

Loved this book. Big fan of the TV series. The book is just different enough to keep you guessing. I heard myself laugh-snort many times while listening. Wishing there were more books available.

Love Red Dwarf!

This narration by Chris Barrie, who plays Rimmer on the TV show, is great. He does all the voices so it is like listening to the show. He even does several sound effects to immerse you in the story. Highly recommend!

Helped if you watched the TV series

My wife and I loved the Red Dwarf television series so this review is very biased. This audiobook's content actually filled in some of the gaps in the storyline of the TV series so I'm not sure how this book will appeal to anyone who is not already familiar with the series. The narrator actually played Rimmer in the series and voices the other characters impeccably like those on TV.
