The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
One Thursday lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make
way for a new hyperspace express route. For Arthur Dent, who has only
just had his house demolished that morning, this seems already to be
rather a lot to cope with. Sadly, however, the weekend has only just
begun. The Galaxy may offer a mind-boggling variety of ways to be blown
up and/or insulted, but it's very hard to get a cup of tea.
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
When all questions of space, time, matter and the nature of being have
been resolved, only one question remains - 'Where shall we have
dinner?' The Restaurant at the End of the Universe provides the
ultimate gastronomic experience, and for once there is no morning after
to worry about.
Life, the Universe and Everything
Following a number of stunning catastrophes, Arthur Dent is surprised
to find himself living in a hideously miserable cave on prehistoric
Earth. However, just as he thinks that things cannot get possibly
worse, they suddenly do. An eddy in the space-time continuum lands him,
Ford Prefect, and their flying sofa in the middle of the cricket ground
at Lord's, just two days before the world is due to be destroyed by the
Vogons. Escaping the end of the world for a second time, Arthur, Ford,
and their old friend Slartibartfast embark (reluctantly) on a mission
to save the whole galaxy from fanatical robots. Not bad for a man in
his dressing gown.
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
There is a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw
yourself at the ground and miss. It's not an easy thing to do, and
Arthur Dent thinks he's the only human who's been able to master this
nifty little trick - until he meets Fenchurch, the woman of his dreams.
Fenchurch once realised how the world could be made a good and happy
place. Unfortunately, she's forgotten. Convinced that the secret lies
within God's Final Message to His Creation, they go in search of it.
And, in a dramatic break with tradition, actually find it . . .
Mostly Harmless
Arthur Dent has settled down on the small planet Lamuella and has
embraced his role as a Sandwich Maker. However, his plans for a quiet
life are thrown awry by the unexpected arrival of his daughter. There's
nothing worse than a frustrated teenager with a copy of the
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in their hands. When she runs away,
Arthur goes after her determined to save her from the horrors of the
universe. After all - he's encountered most of them before.
