The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

Dirk Gently #2 / 2
by Douglas Adams
The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul (Dirk Gently #2) by Douglas Adams
★ 6.72 / 123

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 people 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 catch the 15.37 to Oslo?

Funnier than Psycho... more chilling thanJeeves Takes Charge... shorter than War and Peace... the new Dirk Gently novel, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.

Adams was a keen technologist, writing about such topics as e-mail and Usenet before they became widely known. Adams was also known as an environmental activist and atheist. Toward the end of his life Adams was a sought-after lecturer on topics including technology and the environment. The biologist Richard Dawkins dedicated his book The God Delusion to Douglas Adams and in it described how Adams came to understand evolution.
