The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) | Chart listen

Ranked for listeners who want the whole story: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) in science fiction & fantasy, read by Martin Freeman.

“Douglas Adams is a terrific satirist.” ( The Washington Post Recording World ) Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons? Time for a cup of tea! Join the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his uncommon comrades in arms in their desperate search for a place to eat as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability.    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. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food speaks for itself (literally). “What’s such fun is how amusing the galaxy looks through Adams’s sardonically silly eyes.” ( Detroit Free Press ) Listen to the rest of Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy “trilogy.” Want to learn more about the new Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie?
