Description

If your planet has been destroyed to make way for a new hyperspace bypass, your best friend turns out to be from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse (and not Guilford, as you'd thought), and you find yourself in the company of a two-headed man who also happens to be the president of the galaxy, and a beautiful girl you utterly failed to connect with at a party in a city that no longer exists... you probably shouldn't be surprised to find yourself having breakfast at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is a hilarious and mind-bending continuation of Douglas Adams' beloved series, filled with absurdity and clever wit, as our unlikely heroes embark on another unforgettable adventure across the cosmos.
