FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW
YORK—After many months of anticipation, Hasslein Books today
announced its latest science fiction publications: a two-volume Red Dwarf encyclopedia from author Paul
C. Giachetti. Both books are being simultaneously released, just in time for
the holidays.
Total Immersion: The Comprehensive Unauthorized Red Dwarf Encyclopedia, Volumes I and II, are available at Amazon.com, CreateSpace.com and BarnesandNoble.com, as
well as via retail store special-orders and wholesale. The character-driven British
sci-fi comedy, created
by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, has aired ten seasons to date since 1988, with an
eleventh season rumored to be on the horizon. But the mythos is much more than
just a television series.
The
quintessential reference guides to the whos, whats, whens and wheres of the
entire Red Dwarf universe, Total Immersion contains thousands of
entries from episodes, novels, websites, games, comics and more, meticulously
compiled and all-inclusive. Every person, place, thing, event and reference is
alphabetically listed—from Androids
to Zargon warships, from Alphabetti Spaghetti to zero-gee football—to produce
this trivia buff's ultimate treasure trove of all things Dwarf.
This
two-book set includes:
• More than 5,500 entries culled from every Red Dwarf story and source material
• A detailed index breaking the entries down into seventy-five categories for easy browsing
•
A foreword by Jonathan Capps, a founding member of Ganymede and Titan, the
premier Red Dwarf fan site
•
More than sixty breathtaking interior sketches from artist Pat Carbajal,
produced exclusively for this set
•
A complete story guide to the television series, novels, comics and more
•
An overview of the many universes and timelines featured in Red Dwarf
Written
for both casual viewers and those who know the range of a C-180A Canary Rifle, Total Immersion is a fan's one-stop,
two-book guide to the entire Red Dwarf
franchise.
