A mere two weeks ago, Red Dwarf: Titan was just a glimmer in Rob Grant's buttski, as far as we were aware. But now details are coming thick and fast. Following the novel first appearing on random booksellers' websites, quickly followed by Rob and Andy supplying a full synopsis, we can now exclusively reveal the book's cover art. Many thanks to The Orion Publishing Group, who seem to have accidentally mistaken us for a legitimate press organisation.

Following last week's unheralded appearance of Red Dwarf: Titan on various obscure booksellers' websites, some bloke called Rob has got in touch with us to clarify one or two things.

Hi G&Tians
A couple of bookshops seem to have misunderstood the publisher’s embargo, and made a premature pre-launch of the new RD novel, Titan. It’s not even been through the final copy edit yet.
They also announced a publication date in July, which is the first we’ve heard of it, and over which we have no control. It’s still not confirmed.
Likewise, the blurb we’d written for the cover wasn’t shown in full, presumably to accommodate a word count.
Now the Cat’s out of the baggy suit, here’s the full version.

Well then. Exactly five years to the day that Rob Grant told us that he wanted Red Dwarf flying out of our buttskis, it seems we're a little over six months away from the first scheduled flight. Thanks to our Czech mate barbucha in our forum for spotting that a novel called Red Dwarf: Titan is beginning to turn up in online listings, with a release date of July 16th.

An all-new prequel, and the first Red Dwarf novel in thirty years with Red Dwarf creator Rob Grant returning alongside Andy Marshall, creator of sitcom 2point4Children and Quanderhorn! Before the beginning. Before the accident that wipes out the crew, the mining ship Red Dwarf is in orbit around Titan, and the crew is heading down for shore leave, all with different intensions…

However, their objectives are scuppered somewhat unexpectedly when they receive a cryptic message. A message from the future. Two feuding crewmen are catapulted into a breakneck race to save not only this but every other Reality. So strap yourself in - the Dwarfers are taking on TITAN. This novel is the perfect reboot for those who have never seen the series but also full of wonderful Easter eggs for the fans.
