The Salmon of Doubt

by Douglas Adams
$8.90
The Salmon of Doubt
The Salmon of Doubt

Final foray into Douglas Adams' whimsical universe.

If you've ever chuckled through Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series, "The Salmon of Doubt" is like catching up with an old friend for one last laugh. The book is a hodgepodge of Adams' works, from unfinished novels to essays, and it's all suffused with his trademark wit. Nostalgic, it's a treasure trove for fans and a sci-fi/comedy blend that could tickle your funny bone in unexpected ways.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The Salmon of Doubt comprises eleven chapters of the novel on which Douglas Adams was working at the time of his death, in which Dirk Gently is on the trail of half a cat and a mysteriously easy-to-track actor. Co-starring with the pizza-addicted detective are Thor, Norse God of Thunder, and a highly confused rhinoceros called Desmond. Alongside this is an astonishing collection of short stories and non-fiction pieces recovered from Adams's beloved Macintosh, including 'Young Zaphod Plays It Safe', featuring the intergalactic star of the Hitchhiker series; an earnest twelve-year-old Douglas's letter to Eagle magazine; and insights into a teenage mind full of adoration for the Beatles and loathing for short trousers. Also, there are lectures and articles on subjects as diverse as religion, the letter Y and Adams's love affair with two dogs in New Mexico.
