Now celebrating the 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to
the Galaxy, soon to be a Hulu original series! “Wild satire . . .
The feckless protagonist, Arthur Dent, is reminiscent of Vonnegut
heroes.”—Chicago Tribune The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit
are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads—so they plan
to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand
between the killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total
annihilation. They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time
traveler who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the
ground and missing; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go
insane to see if he likes it; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vice
president of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered
by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed
ex-president of the galaxy; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is
torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox.
How will it all end? Will it end? Only this stalwart crew knows as
they try to avert “universal” Armageddon and save life as we know
it—and don’t know it! “Adams is one of those rare treasures: an
author who, one senses, has as much fun writing as one has
reading.”—Arizona Daily Star
