In a galaxy where absolutely everything (including space, time and alien anatomy) is uncertain, only one thing is guaranteed: at some point, you will need a decent meal.

Feeling a bit peckish following a long, unsettling journey across the universe, Arthur Dent finds himself on a mission that will end in death or dinner - or maybe both. And there's nowhere better for the ultimate meal than Milliways, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

The second book in Douglas Adams's brilliant, bestselling cult classic Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy, this is mind-bendingly, space-warpingly original and utterly hilarious. After all, what could be funnier than the end of time itself?
