The third and my favourite Hitch Hikers novel reunites Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Marvin the Paranoid Android, Trillian and Zaphod Beeblebrox with Slartibartfast and finally explains why the galaxy allowed the Earth to be destroyed. It turned out that although allot of people had a vested interest in the destruction of the Earth it was our glorification of the Krikket wars by creating a game as insensitive as Cricket that no-one could stomach.

This would be fine except eddies in the space time continuum have allowed the Krikket robot warriors to free the Krikket Masters and allow them to wage war on the remainder of the Universe.

Can this collection of misfits struggling with lifestyle and personality issues save Life, the Universe and Everything? The evidence of two further books in the worlds most inappropriately named trilogy would suggest so but as with hyperdrives it's about the journey and not the destination.
