The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is the second book in Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Summary of the Book There’s nothing more important than a cup of tea. Arthur Dent knows this well, but this time, his presumption might have ruined his chances of escape. He has managed to crash the spaceship’s computer and this foils his attempts at escaping from a group of Vogons. Powered by sheer improbability, rib-tickling humour and a medley of characters as human as aliens could possibly be, this sequel to the bestselling Guide returns readers to the Galaxy like never before! Join Ford Prefect, a personal friend of Arthur Dent and expert contributor to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed and two-headed former-president of the galaxy, and Tricia McMillan, another Earth refugee who has renamed herself Trillian in an attempt to go native as they scuttle across the galaxy in a shuttle driven by fear, and assisted by a rather paranoid android called Marvin. Their destination is a famous place in the universe, where everyone goes to grab a bite to eat, the ultimate restaurant, in several manners of speaking, for it exists at the End of the Universe!
