People of Earth, your attention please. This is Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council. Plans for the development of the outlying regions of the galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system and regrettably your planet is scheduled for demolition. The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you. For Arthur Dent, Earthling, this severe case of planning blight is the start of a remarkable set of travels guided by an equally remarkable book...Cover art by Ian Wright. -
The classic sci-fi adventure...When the Earth is demolished by the Vogons to make way for a hyperspace bypass, earthling and homeowner Arthur Dent embarks unwillingly on a wild trip, accompanied by his friend Ford Prefect (who turned out NOT to be from Guildford after all, but who was in fact from a small planet in the vicinity of Betelgeuse) and with the whole of infinite space to choose from, he can't even get a decent cup of tea! -

When a passenger check-in desk at Terminal Two in Heathrow Airport shot up through the roof engulfed in a ball of orange flame, the usual people tried to claim responsibility. First the IRA, the the PLO and the Gas Board. Even British Nuclear Fuels rushed out a statement saying the situation was completely under control, that it was a one in a million chance, that there was hardly any radioactive leakage and the site would make a nice location for a day out with the kids and a picnic before finally admitting that it wasn't actually anything to do with them at all. So the explosion was designated an Act of God. But, thinks Dirk Gently - which God? And why? What God would be hanging around Terminal Two trying to catch the 15.37 to Oslo?

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. But, Dirk Gently wonders, which God? And why? What God would be hanging around Terminal Two of Heathrow Airport 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!

Dirk Gently is back, and on the trail of half a cat and an actor whose sudden appearance is not as random as it seems - and the pizza addicted detective is aided in his search by Thor (Norse God of Thunder), Dave of DaveLand and a highly confused rhinocerous called Desmond. There are also the tales of Young Zaphod Plays It Safe and The Private Life Of Genghis Khan, written with Graham Chapman. There are also non-fiction pieces which range from an earnest 12 year old Douglas's letter to Eagle magazine; insights into a teenage mind full of admiration for the Beatles and loathing for short trousers; lectures that reflect Adam's exceptional understanding of our natural, technological and philosophical worlds; and articles on religion, the 'little dongly things' making a mess of computers, the letter Y and Douglas's love affair with two dogs in New Mexico.
