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.

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 listedfrom Androids to Zargon warships, from Alphabetti Spaghetti to zero-gee footballto 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 & 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. (Red Dwarf and related characters and stories are copyright Grant Naylor Productions, with no infringement intended.)
