The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: Five Novels in One Outrageous Volume

Douglas Adams

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?

With droll wit, a keen eye for detail and heavy doses of insight … Adams makes us laugh until we cry. -San Diego Union-Tribune

Lively, sharply satirical, brilliantly written … ranks with the best set pieces in Mark Twain. -The Atlantic
