    • 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.

    • Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a craving for tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his comrades in arms as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability - and desperately in search of a place to eat. Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to the 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android who suffers nothing and no one very gladly. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food (literally) speaks for itself.

      Ovason argues that previous translations have got it wrong, because they failed to realise that Nostradamus was writing in an esoteric language called the 'green language'. Where previous translations have seemed to stretch a point to make a quotation fit an historical event, Ovason reveals the prophet's true prophecies regarding the American and French revolutions, the Franco-Prussian, First, Second and Third world wars, earthquakes, floods, the Antichrist and the end of the world. Properly seen, Ovason argues, Nostradamus is the greatest Western prophet to commit his prophecies to writing since the Old Testament.

    • Compiled from more than four hundred hours of channeling by Barbara Marciniak, Bringers of the Dawn imparts to us the wisdom of the Pleiadians, a group of enlightened beings who have come to Earth to help us discover how to reach a new stage of evolution. Master storytellers and humorists, they advise us to become media free, to work in teams, and to eliminate the words "should" and "try" from our vocabularies. We learn how to go beyond fear, how the original human was a magnificent being with twelve strands of DNA and twelve chakra centers, and who our "gods" are. Startling, intense, intelligent, and controversial, these teachings offer essential reading for anyone questioning their existence on this planet and the direction of our collective conscious--and unconscious. By remembering that we are Family of Light, that we share an ancient ancestry with the universe around us, we become "bringers of the dawn," consciously creating a new reality, a new Earth.
