[edit] Story Summary
- VERY BASIC SUMMARY***
WARNING, STORY PLOT SPOILED!
Arthur Dent finds himself on planet Lamuella, where people worship a man named Almighty Bob, as a sandwich maker. After a little while or so, Trillian comes to see him. Trillian presents Arthur's daughter, Random, to him.
After a month or two, Random runs away, taking with her a parcel mailed by Ford Prefect in care of Arthur. With the Guide Mark II's help Random steals a very nice spaceship from Ford Prefect who has come to Lamuella for his parcel. Random heads to Earth. Ford and Arthur find their way to a Bar and Grill where the buy a EP's spaceship and head to Earth.
Ford and Arthur get to Earth in time to discover Trillian and Tricia McMillan fighting over a psychotic Random. Random then kills a person that keeps Earth safe, and Earth is destroyed, once and for all, in all parallel time lines. Ford, Arthur, Trillian, Trilia, Random and every human are killed, and forever dead on Earth. Zaphod Beeblebox is apparently the only survivor of the group. It is unknown if Zaphod was on Earth with Trillian, or off on another world. It is also unknown is Marvin, who died of old age in the previous book, was repaired or is still dead.
Ford and Arthur, at the end of the book, are happy and relieved that "it" is over; Ford dies laughing wildly, and Arthur dies with relief. It is unknown how Tricia, Trillian and Random feel when they die. They are saved from death in the semi-offical Eoin Colfer novel And Another Thing....
