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.

Chris Barrie brings this classic comedy to life.

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

Slime comin' home.

What did you like best about this story?

Chis Barrie's narration.

What does Chris Barrie bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

If you're a Red Dwarf fan you will absolutely love how Chris Barrie brings each character's voice to life in the story. You might think that's Craig Charles stopping by to work with Chris, but it's all just a one man show. Incredibly entertaining and worthwhile.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Smegs in space. (It is a show.) :)

Any additional comments?

You won't regret buying this, even if you've already read the book.

Good if you don't remember shoe

This tells some of the tv show scripts without any changes. Original voices are a nice touch do you can recognise all the characters.

Chris Barrie's voices are spectacular.

I thought they'd gotten the cast together, he's that good. What about last human and backwards?

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!

wonderful representation of the series

Chris Barrie does a fantastic job with the narration and the novel does a great job of fleshing out the television series.
