Book description
Arthur Dent's accidental association with that wholly remarkable book
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has not been entirely
without incident.
Arthur has travelled the length, breadth and depth of known, and
unknown, space. He has stumbled forwards and backwards through time.
He has been blown up, reassembled, cruelly imprisoned, horribly
released and colourfully insulted more than is strictly necessary.
And, of course, he has comprehensively failed to grasp the meaning of
life, the universe and everything.
Arthur has, though, finally made it home to Earth. But that does not
mean he has escaped his fate.
For Arthur's chances of getting his hands on a decent cuppa are
evaporating along with the world's oceans. Because no sooner has he
arrived than he finds out that Earth is about to be blown up . . . again.
Eoin (pronounced 'Owen') Colfer secured the largest ever advance for
a children's novel by an unknown author in October 2000. He cast a spell
on the publishing world with
Artemis Fowl
, and hasn't looked back since. Colfer lives in Wexford, Ireland, with
his wife, Jackie, and their two sons.
