Agamedes' opinion: 6 out of 10
There on the cover is this book's big selling point: Rob Grant, co-creator of Red Dwarf. The cover picture -- on my copy! -- is of a head which looks a lot like Arnold Rimmer. A head with a sneer. A head in a bottle.Not sure if this is all positive or negative...
Arnold Rimmer is the best actor in Red Dwarf. He is quite a good character. One of the show's failings is that it too often leaves Rimmer as an idiotic loser with no saving graces.
Was Colony going to be a story of an idiotic loser with no redeeming graces? Yuk :-(
