If you've seen the TV series, this book (written by those same writers as the show) starts off with all the events leading up to what we know and love as Red Dwarf and takes us through much familiar territory without feeling like mere repetition of what we know, from the day a drunken Lister stumbles into the recruitment offices of the Jupiter Mining Corporation to the day he meets lovable android Kryten.

If you haven't seen the TV series, this is a wonderful sci-fi comedy about the last man in the universe, the metrosexual that evolved from his cat, and his dead bunkmate as they try to figure out what to do while stuck in the middle of nowhere.
