Even British Nuclear Fuels got in on the act by rushing out a statement. But no rational explanation was found for the explosion, so it was designated an Act of God.

Book III of the completely mis-named Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. The inhabitants of planet Krikkit are perfectly happy until they experience a space ship crashing on their idyllic planet. So, they dismantle the wreckage, while singing little space ship stripping ditties and boldly venture into space. They decide they don't like the Universe and really - it has to go... so they plan to destroy it. Now only five individuals stand between the killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation. Arthur Dent, 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 and won an award for designing Norway; 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! Cover art by David Scutt. -
The fifth book in the ever-increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. It's very easy to get disheartened when your planet has been blown up, the woman you love has vanished in a misunderstanding about the nature of space/time and the spaceship you are on crashes in flames on a remote and Bob-fearing planet, and all you have to fall back on are a few simple sandwich-making skills. But instead of being disheartened, Arthur Dent makes the mistake of starting to enjoy life a bit and immediately all hell breaks loose. There is the usual Ford Prefect hell; a hellish new version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that behaves in a sinister, mysterious and airborne manner; and the unexpected hell of the arrival of a teenage girl who is Arthur's daughter - who he didn't know he had!

Dirk Gently's Holisitic Detective Agency: What do a dead cat, a computer whiz-kid, an Electric Monk who believes the world is pink, quantum mechanics, a 200-year-old Chronologist, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (poet) and pizza have in common? Apparently not much - until Dirk Gently, self-styled private investigator, sets out to prove the fundamental interconnectedness of all things by solving a mysterious murder, assisting a mysterious professor, unravelling a mysterious mystery and eating a lot of pizza - not to mention saving the human race from extinction along the way - at no extra charge. The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul: When a passenger check-in desk at Terminal Two, Heathrow Airport, suddenly explodes through the roof engulfed in flame, the usual people tried to claim responsibility - the IRA, the PLO and the Gas Board. Even British Nuclear Fuels rushed out a statement to the effect that the situation was under control, it was a one in a million chance, there was hardly any radioactive leakage and the explosion site would make a nice day out with the kids and a picnic - before finally admitting that it wasn't actually anything to do with them at all. There was no rational cause for the explosion - so it was designated an act of God. But, thinks Dirk Gently, which God? And why ? What God would be hanging around Heathrow's Terminal Two trying to catch the 15.37 to Oslo? Cover art by Chris Moore.

Book II of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a craving for tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his comrades-in-arms as they hurtle across space in a ship powered by pure improbability - and desperately in search of a place to eat. The gang's all here: Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who's gone native and changed her name to Trillian; and Marvin, the moody android who suffers nothing and no one very gladly. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food literally speaks for itself. If you've done six impossible things this morning, then why not round it off with breakfast, lunch or dinner at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe? With your host, Max Quordlepleen!
