Özet

Read by Bill Nighy.

From the minds of Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and Terry Jones (Monty Python) comes Starship Titanic, the hilarious novelization of the third-best adventure game of 1999.

Welcome on board the Starship Titanic.
The Ship that Cannot Possibly Go Wrong.

At the centre of the galaxy, a vast, unknown civilization is preparing for an event of epic proportions: the launch of the greatest, most gorgeous, most technologically advanced spaceship ever built – the Starship Titanic.

An Earthling would see the ship as something really, really big, but rather less provincial onlookers would recognize it as the design of Leovinus, the galaxy’s most renowned architect. Before the launch Leovinus is having one last little look round and begins to find that things just aren’t right: poor workmanship, cybersystems out of control, robots walking into doors. How could this have happened?

The following morning, while the galaxy’s media looks on, the fabulous ship eases away from the construction dock, picks up speed, sways a little, wobbles a bit, veers wildly and, just before it can do untold damage to everything around it, appears to undergo SMEF (Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure). In just ten seconds, the whole stupendous enterprise is over. And our story has just begun . . .

A fine tribute to two lost and much missed talents, Douglas Adams and Terry Jones, both gone well before their time. There are certain resemblances to Hitchhiker, a house destroyed by aliens, being trapped in a giant spaceship, and devices that perform like Babelfish come to mind, but there is enough there to hear the brilliant voice of Terry Jones, a voice sadly lost before his last tragic and ,particularly for someone who was as funny and Terry, lingering last illness. It is an excellent and undemanding listen of a perfect length to listen in one session . Finally the narration, Bill Nighy gives, as always, an excellent performance but just one criticism, the screaming, somewhat unpleasant and a bit too much of it.

A great listen.

I loved everything about this book, Terry Jones and Douglas Adams will be eating sandwiches in Heaven tickled beyond belief by how well all the components came together to make a scintillating listen.

Thank you to everyone involved, this got me through a difficult time. I recommend it to everyone (hopefully you’re not going through a difficult time, it’s not a requirement to enjoy this jewel of storytelling).

Superb story by Terry Jones and Bill Nighe is incredible!

Funny, Quirky, Weird, Raunchy and Sweet; Terry Jones is the author of this book, which is pretty good.

I lament that I didn't come across this sooner, as it is a fine extension to the HGTTG universe, and with a stellar performance by Bill Nighy, almost on par with the original radio plays.

I now wonder if Eoin Colfer had any contact with Terry Jones when he wrote 'And another thing' ... As from the rather flat tone of it, it seems he didn't ... oh well

The Hitchhikers guide story you didn't know you wanted

An idea by Douglas Adams, written by Terry Jones naked (Monty Python) and then read by Bill Night....It is a perfect combination as the book is amazing and the narrator is outstanding.

Written by a naked Terry Jones from an idea by Douglas Adams!

I was not sure what to expect when I realized this is not actually written by Douglas Adams but honestly, this book is so incredibly well written and it had me hooked. I was laughing and gasping and the very unexpected, more adult parts of the story were just the right amount of tantalizing.
I’m just in awe of the brilliant mind of Terry Jones to think up such a ridiculously fabulous story.

Brilliantly witty and exciting at every turn
