This is a book about a book which reveals some very strange ideas about the planet Earth and everyone who inhabits it. The Guide has information about everything which exists in the Galaxy and is a must read for anyone who wants to hitch-hike round the Galaxy. We learn about the Guide from the adventures of an earth man called Arthur Dent, whose house is to be demolished so that a bypass can be built. Little does Arthur know that his friend, Ford Prefect, is not from Earth but from a planet called Betelgeuse and that the entire Earth is to be demolished for a hyperspace bypass. Nothing is as it seems in this great book. We meet the mice who run the Earth and the man who built the Earth as a huge computer experiment. We meet the President of the Galaxy, two headed Zaphod Beeblebrox and the spaceship he stole, the Heart of Gold with its improbability drive. This is the first of five books in the series. It is a classic science fiction book and a must read not only for hitch-hikers. As the Guide says on it's cover DON'T PANIC! By Ian Keir - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
