Synopsis A great architect on a far-off planet develops an idea for the universe's largest and most advanced spaceship, the Titanic. Given its name, it should come as no surprise that the whole thing is a massive disaster. When the ship takes off with only the architect and a journalist onboard, the two must contend with an assortment of cranky robot staff members and a ship's parrot with a mind of its own, among other distractions. And the three passengers that they pick up on Earth may just be the last straw.

Industry Reviews "There are a good many chuckles to be had before the end of 'Starship Titanic', with a few belly laughs tossed in for good measure." Washington Post Book World - Tim Sullivan (11/30/1997)
"While Jones successfully mimics Adams's antic style, everything else that made the Hitchhiker series memorable is missing; the perfect-pitch sendup of science fiction cliches, the good-natured wildness, the laugh-out-loud-funny stuff." New York Times Book Review - Gerald Jonas (12/21/1997)
"Both Jones and Adams possess impressive comic credentials, so there are some amusing moments--but otherwise it's pretty thin and familiar fare." Stern
