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.

Best discovery of my life

I'm not an audiobook person, but the original actor of my favourite, horrible character on my favourite show, reading the story? What a find! I love the little (and often huge) details the book adds to the half hour plots of the episodes. The story is (if possible) even more fun than the series, and voice impersonator Chris Barrie's performance here is only beaten by his own acting on the show - what a smegging guy!

Chris Barrie - a gifted narrator

Chris Barrie's narrator performance has set an incredibly high bar in this book. I have listened to many audiobooks but have never walked away feeling like I have had the benefit of a private theatrical performance.

I was completely drawn in - I can't wait to hear Chris's narration of the sequel.

Absolutely Brilliant!!

WOW. Now THIS is an Audiobook. Totally addictive and it brought back so many wonderful memories from the television series. Oh, I now have a new favourite narrator - Chris Barrie absolutely nailed it. His characterisations were a joy and astonishing to listen to. I am hooked on this series and can't wait to listen to the next one.

Perfection

Chris Barrie reproduces all the voices of the entire cast perfectly. What an amazing actor. Thoroughly enjoyed his expression and clarity as a narrator.
The writers are incredible. Everything was so easy to picture and full of so much fun and excitement.
I look forward to buying more of the audio book series if Chris Barrie has also narrated them. Very very glad this was made, and I was able to experience it. Thank you so much to all involved in making it a finished product.
Perfection.

Love this book so much

The narrator is incredible. He bought this book to life and sounded so much like the actors from the show.
