Series: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

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?

Includes the bonus story “Young Zaphod Plays It Safe”
