Now celebrating the 42nd anniversary ofΒ The Hitchhikerβs Guide to the Galaxy,Β soon to be a Hulu original series!
βWild satire . . . The feckless protagonist, Arthur Dent, is reminiscent of Vonnegut heroes.ββChicago Tribune
The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their headsβso 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 βuniversalβ Armageddon and save life as we know itβand donβt know it!
βAdams is one of those rare treasures: an author who, one senses, has as much fun writing as one has reading.ββArizona Daily Star
