Science-fiction writer Douglas Adams strikes again with this amusing follow-up to his Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Restaurant at the End of the Universe. In this new three-issue series, we follow the continuing adventures of beleaguered Earthling Arthur Dent and his companion, Galactic Guide correspondent Ford Prefect.

As the story picks up, Ford and Arthur have been abandoned on prehistoric Earth along with a group of Golgafrinchan telephone sanitizers and assorted middle managers. Luckily, they escape certain doom with that survival skills-impaired group by clinging to a sofa which suddenly appeared before them, wafting on a series of time eddies. Riding it, they find themselves transported to twentieth-century Earth and plunked down in the midst of a match at Lords Cricket Ground. The next thing they know is that they are called upon to save the galaxy from a race of cricket-playing robots…
