Red dwarf : infinity welcomes careful dr… by Grant Naylor

The 'Red Dwarf Omnibus' includes 'Red Dwarf' and 'Better Than Life' in one volume, and for the purposes of this review, these will be considered lesser parts of one book - and given the cliffhanger at the end of 'Red Dwarf', this is hardly unfair.

Introductions aside, the most important question regarding this book is 'does it work?' Does a written SF situational comedy work?
