Description
Somewhere along the line, he had made a mistake. Why else would he find himself on a prison ship bound for Cyberia, the most inhospitable penal colony in Deep Space, sentenced to eighteen years' hard thought?
Dave Lister is the last human. The future of the species is in the hands of one man. And all he has to help him are his wits, his cunning and . . . he's doomed. Will a hologram of his bunkmate, a descendent of his pet cat, and his ex-girlfriend be able to save him?
Rejoin the Red Dwarf's trepid band of space zeroes - Lister, Rimmer, Kochanski, Kryten, Holly and the Cat - as they continue their epic journey through frontal-lobe knotting realities where none dare venture but the bravest of the brave, the boldest of the bold, the feeblest of the feeble-minded.
