So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish is the fourth installment in
Douglas Adams' bestselling cult classic, the Hitchhiker's Guide to
the Galaxy 'trilogy'. 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 realized 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 . . . Follow Arthur
Dent's galactic (mis)adventures in the last of the 'trilogy of
five', Mostly Harmless.
Mostly Harmless is the fifth and final part in Douglas Adams'
much-loved cult classic series, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy. Arthur Dent hadn't had a day as bad as this since the Earth
had been blown up. After years of galactic wanderings, Arthur
finally settles on the small planet Lamuella and becomes a sandwich
maker. Looking forward to a quiet life, his plans 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 . . .
Following the smash-hit sci-fi comedy The Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is the second
part in Douglas Adams' multi-media phenomenon and cult classic
series. If you've done six impossible things this morning, why not
round it off with breakfast at Milliways, the Restaurant at the end
of the Universe? Which is exactly what Arthur Dent and the crew of
the Heart of Gold plan to do. There's just the small matter of
escaping the Vogons, avoiding being taken to the most totally evil
world in the Galaxy and teaching a space ship how to make a proper
cup of tea. And did anyone actually make a reservation? Follow
Arthur Dent's galactic (mis)adventures in the rest of the trilogy
with five parts: Life, the Universe and Everything, So Long, and
Thanks for All the Fish, and Mostly Harmless.
In Life, the Universe and Everything, the third title in Douglas
Adams' blockbusting sci-fi comedy series, The Hitchhiker's Guide to
the Galaxy, Arthur Dent finds himself enlisted to prevent a
galactic war. Following a number of stunning catastrophes, which
have involved him being alternately blown up and insulted in ever
stranger regions of the Galaxy, Arthur Dent is surprised to find
himself living in a 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 . . . Follow Arthur Dent's galactic
(mis)adventures in the rest of the trilogy with five parts: So
Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, and Mostly Harmless.
