Backwards

A fun Red Dwarf book, especially so after just slogging through whatever #2 was called. The first third of this book is in a backwards universe where all of the characters' actions need to be interpreted backwards — for example, when they're looking to find their ship and discover it in the woods and need to dig it out a bit, in the normal direction of time they're hiding it. I had weird backwards dreams for a few days while my brain readjusted to thinking about time like this. It was neat.

Part two has fan favorite Ace Rimmer return, who is always a good romp.

And then it sorta falls apart in part three, which is a novelization of the weird western episode. It's fine I guess but is a rather unspectacular ending to an otherwise great book.
