Comment garder tout son flegme quand on apprend dans la même journée : que sa maison va être abattue dans la minute pour laisser place à une déviation d'autoroute ; que la planète Terre va être détruite d'ici deux minutes, se trouvant, coïncidence malheureuse, sur le tracé d'une future voie express intergalactique ; que son meilleur ami, certes délicieusement décalé, est en fait un astrostoppeur natif de Bételgeuse, et s'apprête à vous entraîner aux confins de la galaxie ?

Pas de panique !

Car Arthur Accroc, un Anglais extraordinairement moyen, pourra compter sur le fabuleux Guide galactique pour l'accompagner dans ses extraordinaires dérapages spatiaux moyennement contrôlés.
