The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the first book in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy franchise.

Arthur Dent is your typical English Every Man. He lives in a sleepy English village on this Insignificant Little Blue Planet known as Earth. His life is so desperately ordinary that he could not possibly know his best friend, Ford Prefect, is not in fact, from Guildford, but is from a planet in the vicinity of Betelgeuse. As a roving researcher for The Hithhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Ford went to Earth to do some reasearch... and has been stuck here ever since.

And then, one dull Thursday Morning, Ford Shows up at Arthur's house, claiming the world will soon be demolished by strange creatures called Vogons. And it all just gets weirder from there.
