Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

Lorsqu'un comptoir d'embarquement au terminal 2 de l'aéroport de Londres, un si joli petit aéroport pourtant, saute à travers le toit dans une boule de flammes orange, ce sont toujours les mêmes qui veulent revendiquer la responsabilité de l'événement.D'abord l'IRA, puis l'OLP, puis la Compagnie du gaz. Même le Commissariat à l'Énergie atomique s'empresse de publier un communiqué affirmant que la situation est parfaitement maîtrisée, qu'un pareil accident a une chance sur un million de se produire, qu'il n'y a pratiquement aucune fuite radioactive, que le site même de l'explosion ferait un charmant lieu de pique-nique pour les enfants des écoles, etc. avant d'être obligé de convenir qu'il n'y est pour rien.On ne peut trouver à la catastrophe aucune explication rationnelle : on y voit simplement la main de Dieu. Mais quel dieu ? se demande Dirk Gently, le détective holistique. Et pourquoi ? Que ferait donc un dieu au terminal 2 de l'aéroport de Londres à attendre le vol de 15 h 37 pour Oslo ?

THE RESTAURANT AT THE END OF THE UNIVERSE - THE HITCHHIKER''S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY 2

Comment garder tout son flegme quand on apprend dans la même journée : que sa maison va être abattue dans la minute pour laisser place à une déviation d'autoroute ; que la Terre va être détruite d'ici deux minutes, se trouvant, coïncidence malheureuse, sur le tracé d'une future voie express intergalactique ; que son meilleur ami, certes délicieusement décalé, est en fait un astrostoppeur natif de Bételgeuse et s'apprête à vous entraîner aux confins de la galaxie ? Pas de panique ! Car Arthur Dent, un Anglais extraordinairement moyen, pourra compter sur le fabuleux Guide du voyageur galactique pour l'accompagner dans ses extraordinaires dérapages spatiaux moyennement contrôlés. Avant d'être la série de SF humoristique la plus vendue au monde, H2G2 était un feuilleton radiophonique, douze épisodes de trente minutes, diffusé à la BBC en 1978 et 1980.

H2G2 L'intégrale de la trilogie en 5 volumes

* The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy* The Restaurant at the End of the Universe* Life, the Universe and Everything* So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish* Mostly HarmlessSuppose a good friend calmly told you over a round of drinks that the world was about to end? And suppose your friend went on to confess that he wasn't from around here at all, but rather from a small planet near Betelgeuse? And what if the world really did come to an end, but instead of being blown away, you found yourself hitching a ride on a spaceship with your buddy as a traveling companion?It happens to Arthur Dent.An ordinary guy from a small town in England, Arthur is one lucky sonofagun: his alien friend, Ford Prefect, is in fact a roving researcher for the universally bestselling Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ... and expert at seeing the cosmos on 30 Altairian dollars a day. Ford lives by the Guide's seminal bit of advice: Don't Panic. Which comes in handy when their first ride--on the very same vessel that demolished Earth to make way for a hyperspacial freeway--ends disastrously (they are booted out of an airlock). with 30 seconds of air in their lungs and the odd of being picked up by another ship 2^276,709 to 1 against, the pair are scooped up by the only ship in the universe powered by the Infinite Improbability Drive.But this (and the idea that Bogart movies and McDonald's hamburgers now exist only in his mind) is just the beginning of the weird things Arthur will have to get used to. For, on his travels, he'll encounter Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-President of the Galaxy; Trillian, a sexy spacecadet he once tried to pick up at a cocktail party, now Zaphod's girlfriend; Marvin, a chronically depressed robot; and Slartibartfast, the award-winning engineer who built the Earth and travels in a spaceship disguised as a bistro.Arthur's crazed wanderings will take him from the restaurant at the end of the Universe (where the main dish of the day introduces itself and the floor show is doomsday), to the planet Krikkit (locked in Slo-Time to punish its inhabitants for trying to end the Universe), to Earth (huh? wait! wasn't it destroyed?!) to the very offices of The Hitchhiker's Guide itself as he and his friends quest for the answer to the Question of Life, the Universe and Everything ... and search for a really good cup of tea.Ready or not, Arthur Dent is in for one hell of a ride!
