Douglas Adams. The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

Scanned and corrected by Dirk Gently.
Version 1.01, second, corrected release.



When a passenger check-in desk at Terminal Two, Heathrow
Airport, shot up through the roof engulfed in a ball of orange
flame the usual peaple tried to claim responsibility. First the
IRA, then the PLO and the Gas Board. Even British Nuclear Fuels
rushed out a statement to the effect that the situation was
completely under control, that it was a one in a million
chance, that there was hardly any radioactive leakage at all,
and that the site of the explosion would make a nice location
for a day out with the kids and a picnic, before finally having
to admit that it wasn't actually anything to do with them at
all.

No rational cause could be found for the explosion - it
was simply designated an act of god. But, thinks Dirk Gently,
which God? And why? What God would be hanging around Terminal
Two of Heathrow Airport trying to chatch the 15.37 to Oslo.

Funnier than Psycho... more chilling than Jeeves
Takes Charge... shorter than War and Peace... the
new Dirk Gently novel, The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul.
Douglas Adams is the best-selling author of the Hitch
Hiker books: The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the
Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Life,
the Universe and Everything, So Long, and Thanks for All
the Fish, and Mostly Harmless.
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has appeared in more
forms than one might reasonably expect, most of which flatly
contradict each other. It has appeared as a BBC radio series
(its original form), a BBC TV series, all sorts of different
records, cassettes, and CD's, a computer game, and also,
apotheotically, a bath towel. A series of graphic novels is
currently in preparation, and the motion-picture version is
confidently expected any decade now.
He is also the author of the Dirk Gently books, Dirk
Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long
Dark Tea-Time of the Soul. He is currently working
on another book in this series.
He has also written The Deeper Meaning of Liff with
John Lloyd and, most recently, the travel and wildlife book
Last Chance to See, with Mark Carwardine. He is
making more TV programmes these days and also frequently
lectures on computers and semi-extinct parrots.
He lives partly in Islington, London, partly in Provence,
