Published in the late 1970s, The Dwarf isn’t quite a novel in the conventional sense: it’s a series of 12 stories united by common characters—a lower middle-class midget and his family, his neighbors and a set of powerful chaebol leaders—that mixes vivid realism with occasional flights of fantasy.

Scientifically sound, but written with the student in mind, Asteroids, Comets, and Dwarf Planets is an excellent first step for researching the exciting scientific discoveries of the smallest celestial bodies in the solar system.

Dave Lister has finally found his way back to the planet Earth. Which is good. What's bad is that time isn't running in quite the right direction. And if he doesn't get off the planet soon, he's going to have to go through puberty again. Backwards. Still, his crew mates have come to rescue him. Which is good. What's bad is that they consist of a robot with a hyperactive guilt chip, a creature who evolved from cats, and a dead man. And if they fail, Lister will carry on growing younger until he becomes a baby, then an embryo...And finally, he'll meet a very sticky end indeed. Rejoin the intrepid band of space zeros from Red Dwarf and Better Than Life -- Lister, Rimmer, Kryten, Holly and the Cat -- as they continue their epic journey through frontal-lobe-knotting realities where none dare venture but the bravest of the brave, the boldest of the bold or the feeblest of the feeble-minded.
