| Plot Summary of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe |
|---|
"More zany adventures with a wonderful cast of characters: Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Marvin the manically depressed robot, and more. With the stolen ship 'The Heart of Gold' the team seeks out 'the man that rules the universe' and the question that matches the answer to the meaning of the life, the universe and everything - which is 42 by the way."
Shane Tiernan, Resident Scholar
