Book
Red Dwarf
by Grant Naylor
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.
Book
Better Than Life
by Grant Naylor
A wild and wacky SF series--based on the popular BBC-TV series--reminiscent of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Lister--who passed out drunk in London and awakened in a locker on a moon of Saturn--now finds himself trapped in a computer game that transports players to the perfect world of their imaginations--a game people are literally dying to play.
Book
Small Gods
by Terry Pratchett
Lost in the chill deeps of space between the galaxies, it sails on forever, a flat, circular world carried on the back of a giant turtle— Discworld —a land where the unexpected can be expected. Where the strangest things happen to the nicest people. Like Brutha, a simple lad who only wants to tend his melon patch. Until one day he hears the voice of a god calling his name. A small god, to be sure. But bossy as Hell.
