Publisher's Summary

Nominated for the Audiobook Download of the Year, 2008.

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.

A MUST for fans of the show

Chris Barrie's narration is positively brilliant. It was almost as if they actually had Craig Charles, Danny John-Jules and Robert Llewellyn in the studio with him for this recording. He absolutely NAILS their voices and character styles. As a fan of the show and a sucker for backstory, this purchase was inevitable for me, and I had high expectations for Mr. Barrie's narration going in...but he still exceeded it. If you are a fan of the show...don't even hesitate. You will not regret this purchase.

Chris Barrie is an amazing narrator.

I really loved Chris Barrie’s way of narrating the story and his impressions of the characters.

Really, really lost in space!

This is the first of the "Red Dwarf" novels. I've only seen a few episodes of the series, and they're all in this book.

I enjoyed it. All the characters are idiots, which is the whole point.

Nothing New here, decent series refresher

If you watched the TV Series Red Dwarf, this is mostly Season 1 and I guess some of Season 2. There are no new stories. It is done well and adheres to the series scripts. I guess I was hoping for stories I didn't know but with the Red Dwarf characters and humor. It is worth a listen if you haven't seen the series or if you want a trip down memory lane.

Amazing voice work.

The most impressive thing about this audio production is that Chris Barrie did every single voice and nailed them.

Unbesmeginleavable.

Chris Barrie nailed this performance. He does the character voices so well that it's almost like they're all reading this. I'll be listening to this again... and again... and again.

Surprisingly entertaining

I’ve seen and heard about Red Dwarf since I was a kid, but assumed it would be a very B rated Sci-fi, and perhaps the show is, haven’t seen it, but what I can say is the audio book was quite entertaining, well written, and very British! I’d say it’s more of a comedy set in a sci-fi world.
So if you like British humor and science fiction, you’ll definitely get a few good chuckles and a couple solid laughs out of this book. The characters are quite blah though, but I think that’s the point. Don’t set your hopes too high and you’ll enjoy it!
