Being a [[Dolled-Up Installment]], this book stands out from the rest of the series in two ways. The first is that it's largely self-contained, since it's got a distinct beginning, middle, and ending instead of being one big general mish-mash that hinted at larger things that may or may not come later, like most of the other books. The second is that it's more of a traditional [[Action Adventure|action-adventure]] [[Science Fiction|sci-fi]] [[Space Opera]] and less of a broad, brainy comedy (though it's still plenty brainy, and plenty funny). The plot has Slartibartfast, the elderly architect first spotted in ''The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy'', rescuing Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect from prehistoric Earth so they can help him stop the Krikkitmen, a ''very'' dangerous and ''very'' polite race of alien invaders with a grandiose scheme to [[Omnicidal Maniac|kill everything everywhere.]] The rest of the series' iconic [[Five-Man Band]], Galactic President Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian, and Marvin the robot, eventually get involved as well. |
