Arthur Dent's accidental association with that wholly remarkable book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has not been entirely without incident.

Arthur has travelled the length, breadth and depth of known, and unknown, space. He has stumbled forwards and backwards through time. He has been blown up, reassembled, cruelly imprisoned, horribly released and colourfully insulted more than is strictly necessary. And, of course, he has comprehensively failed to grasp the meaning of life, the universe and everything.

Arthur has, though, finally made it home to Earth. But that does not mean he has escaped his fate.

For Arthur's chances of getting his hands on a decent cuppa are evaporating along with the world's oceans. Because no sooner has he arrived than he finds out that Earth is about to be blown up . . . again.

Review:

Douglas Adams is reborn in Eoin Colfer's masterful prose (Observer )

I haven't read anything in a long time that made me laugh as much (The Times )

From the Back Cover:

'A triumph, fabulous. Colfer has given us a delight' Observer

'I haven't read anything in a long time that made me laugh as much ...' The Times

Arthur Dent led a perfectly ordinary, uneventful life until the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy hurled him deep into outer space. Now he's convinced a cruelly indifferent universe is out to get him.

And who can blame him?

His life is about to collide with a pantheon of unemployed gods, a lovestruck green alien, a very irritating computer and at least one very large slab of cheese. If, that is, everyone's favourite renegade Galactic President can get him off planet Earth before it is destroyed . . . again.

'Chock-full of fanciful, inventive one-liners and asides, brimming with a burning sense of the ridiculousness of life.' Independent on Sunday

'The best post-mortem impersonation I have ever read' Mark Lawson, Guardian
