Starship Titanic was inspired by Douglas Adams--the creator of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy--and forms the basis of a computer game which was launched in late 1997.
At the centre of the galaxy, a vast, unknown civilisation is preparing for an event of epic proportions--the launch of the greatest, most gorgeous, most technologically advanced spaceship ever built--the Starship Titanic. Leovinus, the galaxy's most renowned architect and designer of the craft, notices something is not quite right just before the ship is launched: poor workmanship, cybersystems out of control, and robots walking into doors. The maiden voyage goes horribly wrong as the Titanic veers off course and crashes towards Earth.

Obwohl die Story an vielen Stellen charakterliche Gemeinsamkeiten mit der berühmten (und einzigartig guten) Hitchhiker "Trilogie" pflegt, ist Terry Jones Schreibstil doch - nix für ungut - näher an der vogonischen Dichtkunst als an Adams' grandiosem Humor. Gerade für dedizierte Freunde des Letzteren ist dieses Buch sicherlich eine große Enttäuschung. Zwei Punkte gibt's nur, weil ich Adams prima finde (ein Punkt) und weil ich Terry Jones mag (noch ein Punkt). Wer den Hitchhiker hinter sich hat, sollte sich lieber Dirk Gently oder aber dem großartigen "Last Chance to See" zuwenden.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The cover was attractive. The misleading monicer 'Douglas Adams' Starship Titanic' was promising. Having Python troupe member Terry Jones' name on the byline piqued my interest. But this book is terrible. The Hitchhiker's Guide was founded on startling imagination, and priceless turns of phrases. Never before had a read an author who so joyously experimented with language as Adams did in his Hitchhiker series -- and I fear I may never again. Jones' weak novel might well have been imagined in one 15 minute seating: there are no memorable characters, no ingenuous planets, no hillarious creatures, no sparkling exchanges of dialogue. What little chuckles reside in this book are temporary: readers won't be recalling them throughout their life as hysterical social commentary, much like I still do with the Hitchhiker series. I will tell you the funniest part: there is a self-destruct mechanism which is accidentally set in motion, and the computer begins to count down the seconds to detonation. With no other idea of how to stop their doom, one of the drab characters (I don't even care who, anymore) goes down and talks to the computer to make it lose count. This the computer does, until it realizes it's being duped, and then it begins to count resentfully again, and again he is distracted... Not worth it, folks. Watch Life of Brian, or read Mostly Harmless. Or flog yourself with belts -- just don't read Starship Titanic.

I'm sure that was the title of a Blackadder the 3rd episode but it makes sense for this book. The characters are not flat, the plot is fast paced and highly enjoyable. I read it after completing the CD Rom adventure game of the same name. It really worked for me as a fan of both Monty Python and Douglas Adams and the humor is a really big hit with me! Read it and enjoy it, don't pick it to pieces, it wasn't written for that!

A good book
I liked this book I don't think it matches with The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galexy it had a lot of good jokes, but in the middle it had a little crumble in the plot.

Starship Titanic is a good book, but not compared to the books by Douglas Adams. Terry Jones' charactor development is not as good, and Adams did a better job of kepping his books... Lesen Sie weiter...

Wow, what a disappointment.
