The actor, who played Rimmer in the beloved sci-fi comedy, will be the voice of the new book, written by Red Dwarf co-creator Rob Grant and Andrew Marshall.
Marshall added: "I’m delighted that the portrayer of Arnold J Rimmer himself, the fabulous multi-voiced Chris Barrie will be reading the audiobook of Red Dwarf Titan, and I’m certain that Rob would be too. In fact we would be noisily competing as to whom was the most delighted. Currently that’s me."
Red Dwarf: Titan will serve as a prequel to the BBC sci-fi comedy, which followed Craig Charles's Dave Lister who wakes up after three million years to find he's the last living human - and is only accompanied by a hologram of his deceased bunkmate, Arnold Rimmer (Chris Barrie), and a humanoid creature evolved from his pet cat (Danny John-Jules).
"It's set one universe to the side, so we can have familiar characters but we can do different things with them, because the difficulty was writing something that was going to be original and fresh and using the same characters without breaking the canon."
Grant also assured us that Red Dwarf's signature silliness is back in full force, with the writer promising that fans will "laugh their little chippers off".
