The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams

$30.99

Douglas Adams' hilarious sci-fi sequel to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, now fully-illustrated by award winner Chris Riddell.

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?

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.

Douglas Adams created all the various and contradictory manifestations of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: radio, novels, TV, computer game, stage adaptations, comic book and bath towel. In addition to Hitchhiker's series, his aptly named trilogy-in-five-parts, he is also the author of the Dirk Gently novels: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul, and the unfinished The Salmon of Doubt. Douglas Adams was born in Cambridge and lived with his wife and daughter in London, England, before moving to California, where he died suddenly in 2001.
