Douglas Adams, a legend of imaginative fiction, ushered in the advent of comedic science fiction with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The book developed into a hugely successful series of five novels. The Dirk Gently series--Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul--helped cement Adams as one of the most successful and beloved authors in science fiction.
``The British author of the Hitchhiker trilogy and other immensely popular lunacies, Adams permits no whiff of common sense to spoil his new novel, which combines fantasy, hilarity and creeping horrors,'' remarked PW . Here, sleuth Dirk Gently investigates a lawyer and an advertiser who possess the soul of the god Odin. ``The plot's ramifications are marvelous, bloody and irresistible.'' (Jan.)
