Product Description
Product Description
Lister gazed out of the porthole and catalogue the series of disasters that had led him to this point in space and time: the bad decisions, the poor career choices, the unreliable friendships that had led him here - on a prison ship bound for the most inhospitable penal colony in the outer cosmos... and all he'd ever wanted was to be a soft metal guitar icon. This is the beginning of the third and eagerly awaited red dwarf novel where Lister starts out by searching for his Doppelganger and ends up having the future of the human race on his shoulders.

First Sentence
Six million yean later, in a dilapidated class three transport ship, the last human being in the cosmos lay in the same foetal position as his long dead sister, murmuring remarks in the gibberish of Deep Sleep, until a poorly digested bowl of cabbage soup caused a noisy pocket of escaping air to flee his lower intestine and rouse him from his slumbers.

Not what you'd expect from a Red Dwarf Creation but..,
This review is from: Last Human (Red Dwarf) (Paperback)
The book does not really follow the pattern of the other Red Dwarf books where it's split up into linked sub-stories, where each sub-story expands on a certain Red Dwarf episode.It stands out on its own as a book and not just an expansion of a few Red Dwarf episodes (there's nothing wrong with this). There are a couple charaters brought in from the show (e.g. Kinotowowi from Emohawk) but nothing else directly. The story itself is excellent, well thought out, unpredictable and does not have that feel good factor of the TV show. It is dark and has a sinister element to it. It is definately worth getting as it gets a big tick in two boxes: for those who have a thirst for Red Dwarf and for those who want a good book with a strong story.

Great Book,
By intim8er@hotmail.com (Seattle, Washington, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Last Human (Red Dwarf) (Paperback)
You can't get this book in the states, I'd heard about it and wanted to find it; then tracked it down to here and I'm glad I did. This book was a blast to read. Couldn't give it 5 stars, cause some parts didn't quite mesh well with the other three books; but all in all, this was a great book. Lots of laughs, lots of adventure and the supreme sacrifice. I'm glad I found it.

The best Red Dwarf book at this time,
By A Customer
This review is from: Last Human (Red Dwarf) (Paperback)
I noticed a difference of styles between Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, and I feel that Doug Naylor just edges his old partner with this excellent third instalment of the Red Dwarf saga. Picking up at the end of Better than Life, the two writers diverged the story, and Doug's imaginative story made the book "un-put-down-able". A must buy for all Dwarfers out there, or any reader with an interest in Science Fiction books.
