On 12 October 1979 the most remarkable book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor (and Earth) was made available to humanity ? The Hitchhiker?s Guide to the Galaxy. It?s an ordinary Thursday lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace bypass and his best friend has just announced that he?s an alien. At this moment, they?re hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and an innocuous-looking book inscribed with the big, friendly words: DON?T PANIC. The weekend has only just begun... Volume one in the trilogy of five.
