The Last Human (Red Dwarf)

Returning from an excursion in the Fourth Universe, the Red Dwarf crew stumble across a spaceship identical to their own. It soon transpires that Rimmer has made a minute error in the sub light-speed drive calculations -- forgetting to carry a two -- and as a consequence the Dwarfers have accidentally harnessed super string theory, punched a hole in the space time continuum and arrived in a parallel reality.

When the crew board the ship to investigate they discover their own dead bodies -- all, that is, except for Lister's. Who has killed them and why?

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 a two-page girdle section from a mail-order catalogue.

Last Human is the third of the hugely successful Red Dwarf novels based on the award-winning BBC series.
