Red Dwarf: Titan being developed into a Novel

[Dax101]

At Kocour Na Comic Con, Rob Grant has revealed that Red Dwarf: Titan will be developed into a novel. He doesn’t have a publication date yet but it is happening. 

He also revealed that the prequel will not solely be a Rimmer and Lister Story as The Cat and Kryten are also involved. A much ealier version of Kryten and the Cat being created through some DNA manipulation.

He talks about it at 7:44

So cheap that they could only afford one eyebrow for Rimmer.

And no H.

Cat looks like he’s the only one who has been aged rather than de-aged.

Remember it’s from before the accident and Cat and Kryten are their new genetic versions

Rimmer looks like if Seth MacFarlane was the manager at a company producing tetraethyl lead in the 1950s.

Is Kryten wearing a wedding ring?

Red Dwarf: Titan by Rob Grant is now available for pre-order! I’m not sure if the link will work. It’s probably some kind of premium link. I only managed to open it once.

intensions…

Looks like it’s been taken down if it was real.

It would be funny if Rob beat Doug to publishing a novel about Lister and Rimmer’s future selves coming back in time to appeal to their younger pre-accident selves to try and prevent the accident from happening.

Given the utm behind the url, it was a newsletter distribution. So it’s possible that the link was a one-time thing and when the owner used it – made an order, it became invalid. Anyway, at least we know the date :)

This link works – https://www.ivybridgebookshop.com/products/9781399636094?srsltid=AfmBOoo8jMaO6AovRnVfSUSCVGSUqo5Ol4IpJxp24lPdwTEa-sY0SEOS

It’ll probably actually be good, but the marketing speak trying to make it sound appealing is having the opposite effect, like when RTD said he wanted Doctor Who to be like Marvel or whatever.

“intensions”

[Rushy]

That Series X promotional photo of the crew XD

[sleepey]

Their intentions are in tension you see, it’s actually really clever 😑

Another thing that makes this exciting is it will (presumably) be the first time Rob has written/co-written a Red Dwarf novel without existing episodes being the framework for the plot, so it should pretty much be ALL new stuff for the first time.

(I think we’d all be a bit disappointed if it comes out and we discover it’s essentially a novelisation of ‘Stasis Leak’)

In the book version, instead of throwing paint over Hollister, Rimmer resorts to genital torture.

[loadoftottnumb]

Sorry to be that guy but we’ve been here before with definitely confirmed new Red Dwarf, is this officially official official? 

[Moonlight]

I feel like Craig going “yeah, all the guys wanna do it” is a little less concrete than getting online store listings with a synopsis and a specific publishing date. But it’s Red Dwarf, so who knows what could go wrong?

Like this one.
