ROC
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, he was living in a locker on one of Saturn's moons, 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 foresee was that he'd inadvertently signed up for a one-way jaunt three million 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 and things began to get really weird.




Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers

ANNOTATION

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.
