Summaries and Reviews
Summary
In the fifth 'Hitchhiker' adventure, Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, and their cohorts again ride to everywhere from New York City to the edge of the Universe. By the author of The Deeper Meaning of Liff. Reprint. 250,000 first printing. $100,000 ad/promo.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Itâs easy to get disheartened when your planet has been blown up, the woman you love has vanished due to a misunderstanding about space/time, the spaceship you are on crashes on a remote and Bob-fearing planet, and all you have to fall back on are a few simple sandwich-making skills. However, instead of being disheartened, Arthur Dent makes the terrible mistake of starting to enjoy life a bitâand immediately all hell breaks loose.
Hell takes a number of forms: thereâs the standard Ford Prefect version, in the shape of an all-new edition of The Hitchhikerâs Guide to the Galaxy, and a totally unexpected manifestation in the form of a teenage girl who startles Arthur Dent by being his daughter when he didnât even know he had one.
Can Arthur save the Earth from total multidimensional obliteration? Can he save the Guide from a hostile alien takeover? Can he save his daughter, Random, from herself? Of course not. He never works out exactly what is going on. Will you?
