In one complete volume, here are the five classic novels from Douglas
Adams's beloved Hitchhiker series.
Now celebrating the pivotal 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy, soon to be a Hulu original series!
**The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Nominated as one of
America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read)
**Seconds before the Earth is demolished for a galactic freeway, Arthur
Dent is saved by Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised Guide.
Together they stick out their thumbs to the stars and begin a wild
journey through time and space.
***The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
***The moment before annihilation at the hands of warmongers is a
curious time to crave tea. It could only happen to the cosmically
displaced Arthur Dent and his comrades as they hurtle across the galaxy
in a desperate search for a place to eat.
***Life, the Universe and Everything
***The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the
night sky- so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only
five individuals can avert Armageddon: mild-mannered Arthur Dent and his
stalwart crew.
***So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
***Back on Earth, Arthur Dent is ready to believe that the past eight
years were all just a figment of his stressed-out imagination. But a
gift-wrapped fishbowl with a cryptic inscription thrusts him back to
reality. So to speak.
***Mostly Harmless
***Just when Arthur Dent makes the terrible mistake of starting to enjoy
life, all hell breaks loose. Can he save the Earth from total
obliteration? Can he save the Guide from a hostile alien takeover? Can
he save his daughter from herself?
