The Restaurant at the End of the Universe The Complete Hammer’s Slammers Volume 3 Life, the Universe and Everything Without Warning So Long, and Thanks For all the Fish On Basilisk Station Mostly Harmless

Mostly Harmless
It turns out I was confused when I said that So Long and Thanks For All the Fish was the last Hitchhikers Guide book. There is one more, Mostly Harmless. This book wasn’t as good as the others to be honest, it felt disjointed and I ended up disappointed by the ending. Then again, it…
Free Baen ebooks
Bradley noted in the comments for my On Balisik Station post that Baen has been making free ebooks of a bunch of their stuff available. Specifically, http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/ seems to be the place to go. It seems legitimate to me too. Awesome. I still like dead tree, but this seems like a good excuse to give…
On Basilisk Station
I bought this book because it was cheap a while ago, and only just got around to reading it. Its a pretty standard science fiction story of one naval officer’s plight — incompetent seniors; inadequate equipment; and evil neighbors. The story revolves around a young naval officer named Honor Harrington, who the Internet tells me…
So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish
This is the final book in the Hitchhiker’s Guide trilogy, and to be honest I think this one is better than the third book. I enjoyed it, and I think the real strength of the book is that it doesn’t try to hard to be a sequel. Title: The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy…
Without Warning
LibraryThing, of which I am a member runs a program where members are shipped early copies of books for free, with the preference for them writing a review when they’re done reading the book. The books are shipped by the publisher directly to the reviewers. This isn’t that uncommon in the publishing industry — both…
Life, the Universe and Everything

Title: The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Author: Douglas Adams Genre: Fiction Publisher: Del Rey Release Date: April 30, 2002 Pages: 756 In one complete volume, here are the five classic novels from Douglas Adams’s beloved Hitchhiker series. Now…
The Complete Hammer’s Slammers Volume 3
This book consists of three paperbacks combined into one volume, and follows in from Volume 1 and Volume 2. I’ll cover each story separately: The sharp end: this story is a little different from the other Hammer’s Slammers stuff. To be honest, its a bit less grim. Normally the stories are about how war is…
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Another classic. This book is probably a little better than The Hichhiker’s Guide because it doesn’t have to spend so much time explaining the background to the story. It is a very fast read, just like the other book, and I enjoyed it. Title: The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Author: Douglas Adams Genre:…
