The first lesson Lister learned about space travel was you should never try it. But Lister didn’t have a choice. All he remembered was going on a birthday celebration pub crawl through London. When he came to his senses again, with nothing in his pockets but a passport in the name of Emily Berkenstein.

So he did the only thing he could. Amazed to discover they would actually hire him, he joined the space corps—-and found himself aboard Red Dwarf, a spaceship as big as a small city that, six or seven years from now, would get him back to Earth. What Lister couldn’t forsee was that he’d inadvertently signed up for a one–way jaunt three miillion years into the future—a future which would see him the last living member of the human race, with only a hologram crew mate and a highly evolved cat for company. Of course, that was before the ship broke the light barrier anf things began to get really weird………….

One of the funniest, most glorious science fiction experiences to come along since Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s series, Red Dwarf is a monumental British bestseller and the hilarious BBC-TV hit currently syndicated in 35 U.S. markets. After a pub crawl birthday celebration, Lister comes to his senses aboard a city-sized spaceship that’s headed back to Earth–three million years in the future. Previously published by Penguin UK.
