Charting the evolution of humanity from the alien Salaxalans who populated the earth in ancient times, right up to the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, it’s expansive plot stretches across the entire progress of the human race. Within all this though is Dirk Gently who must piece together the case at. Douglas Adams is the author of over 18 books across 5 series.
