So Long and Thanks for All the Fish (Hitchhiker's Guide Series #4) FROM THE PUBLISHER
Arthur Dent is out of his bathrobe, in love, and wondering why the dolphins said...So Long and Thanks for All the Fish. Was the earth really demolished? Why did all the dolphins disappear? What is God's final message to His creatures? Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, and the new voivoid gang are off (by commercial airline) on a wacked-out quest to answer these truly unimportant questions.
SYNOPSIS
The quest continues...
Against all odds, at the eleventh hour, and in the unlikeliest of places of all, Arthur Dent finds the girl of his dreams. After eight years and about 100,000 lightyears of intergalactic travel, he is looking a little down-at-the-heels himself, and she is heavily sedated because she thinks she is a hedgehog. She is also in the company of a brother that Arthur wouldn't wish on a Vogon. But they are both in search of God's Final Message to His Creation, and hey, this time, they might actually find it.
This is Volume Four in the Hitchhiker's Trilogy
