In one complete volume, discover the five classic novels from Douglas Adams’s beloved series, celebrating the 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, soon to be a Hulu original series! In the first novel, just before Earth is destroyed for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is saved by Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised Guide, and they embark on a wild journey through time and space. The second installment finds Arthur and his companions in a peculiar predicament, searching for a place to eat just before facing annihilation at the hands of warmongers. In the third book, the inhabitants of Krikkit plan to destroy the universe, and only Arthur and his crew can prevent Armageddon. The fourth novel sees Arthur back on Earth, grappling with the reality of his past experiences as a gift-wrapped fishbowl brings him back to life. Finally, in the fifth book, just as Arthur begins to enjoy life, chaos ensues, and he must confront the potential obliteration of Earth, a hostile alien takeover of the Guide, and his daughter's struggles. This volume also includes the bonus story “Young Zaphod Plays It Safe.” With droll wit and sharp satire, Adams's work continues to resonate, making readers laugh until they cry.

However, instead of becoming disheartened, Arthur Dent makes the terrible mistake of starting to enjoy life a bit and immediately all hell breaks loose.

Detective Gently whizzes about the world, the universe, and time itself as a group of eccentric characters help him find an eccentric cat, solve a murder, and save the human race.
