In this fifth book of Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Series, Arthur Dent plans to sightsee across the Galaxy with his girlfriend Fenchurch, but she disappears during a hyperspace jump -- a result of being from an unstable sector of the Galaxy. Depressed, Arthur continues to travel the galaxy using semen donations to fund his travels, and encounters strange creatures and threats along the way.
