The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Synopsis

‘Magical’ – Sunday Express


This 42nd Anniversary Edition includes exclusive bonus material from the Douglas Adams archives, and an introduction by Monty Python star and author of Douglas Adams's Starship Titanic, Terry Jones.

*****

Following the smash-hit sci-fi comedy The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is the second part in Douglas Adams' multi-media phenomenon and cult classic series.

If you've done six impossible things this morning, why not round it off with breakfast at Milliways, the Restaurant at the end of the Universe?

Which is exactly what Arthur Dent and the crew of the Heart of Gold plan to do. There's just the small matter of escaping the Vogons, avoiding being taken to the most totally evil world in the Galaxy and teaching a space ship how to make a proper cup of tea.

And did anyone actually make a reservation?

Follow Arthur Dent's galactic (mis)adventures in the rest of the trilogy with five parts: Life, the Universe and Everything, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish and Mostly Harmless.

Reviews

Dazzlingly inventiveCaitlin Moran
Fizzing with ideas . . . BrilliantCharlie Brooker, writer and creator of Black Mirror
It changed my whole life. It's literally out of this worldTom Baker
Hitchhiker’s is packed with that unique energy, all barmy and bristling and bold. This book can be witty, iconoclastic, godless, savage, sweet, surreal, but above all, it dares to be silly. Fiercely, beautifully sillyRussell T. Davies, writer and producer of Doctor Who
