A HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY 9

For further information, contact the author at: dickjudge@juno.com

A British export but a welcome sound. This twelve part series was so well received in Great Britain that it was repeated three times on British radio. It was turned into a best-selling book, a record album and a London stage show. We in the colonies were treated to this highly amusing series in the early 1980s, usually airing over NPR. This is the story that begins on Earth,"an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea." Our hero is Arthur Dent, the only survivor when Earth was demolished to make way for an inter-galactic bypass, which, as it turned out, wasn't needed after all. He embarks on a ramble through the universe with an ordinary looking neighbor who, it turns out, comes from another planet and is a "roving researcher" for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

NOTE: Both the six hour and ninety minute variations of the Hitchhiker's Guide are available and in circulation. For any further information or questions about this series please feel free to contact dickjudge@juno.com.

The Caves Of Steel

Set in the distant future, New Yorkers live in small apartments without windows; hence the title "caves of steel". Detective Elijah Baley is sent on a murder investigation by Commissioner Julius Enderby.

In Spacetown live people from the Outer Worlds, known as "Spacers". Dr Sarton, a man who had plans to get earthmen to welcome robots among them, is murdered. Most earthmen are anti-robots and resent the spacers. The spacers are convinced that the murder was carried out by a New Yorker. If the crime becomes public knowledge, it could lead the spacers to declare war on earth.

Elijah must solve the murder discretely. The spacers require him to work with a partner who is a robot.
