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
