Now in audiobook for the first time ever! Read by Simon Jones, the original "Arthur Dent," and written by #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman, Don't Panic is the definitive chronicle of all things Hitchhiker!

First published in 1986 and updated several times since, Don't Panic is in an in-depth exploration of Douglas Adams's cultural phenomenon The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy – from its beginnings as a UK radio series, to its expansion into a wildly popular book trilogy, and onto incarnations in various media including stage, records, film, computer games, and even, um, tea towels. Don't Panic was the first book by internationally bestselling author Neil Gaiman, written early in his writing career when he worked as a freelance journalist in his native England. Voiced by renowned actor Simon Jones – "Arthur Dent" himself – and with a new introduction written and read by Neil Gaiman, Don't Panic: Douglas Adams & The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy audio edition is the ultimate version of this beloved work.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

      If you're a superfan of Douglas Adams and THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, you've likely already encountered this book, first written in 1987 (and revised several times since) by young journalist Neil Gaiman. However, with the narration of Simon Jones--who starred in the original HITCHHIKER'S radio drama--this audio version offers something new. Jones shares the history of how Adams came to create the sci-fi cult favorite in an arch tone that matches the text, and he's occasionally obliged to speak about himself in the third person, such as, "As much as we all adore Simon Jones's portrayal of the hapless Arthur Dent, he's hardly the obvious romantic lead." But the real joy here is when Jones gets the chance to perform script excerpts from various incarnations of HITCHHIKER'S--and play all of the parts. J.M.D. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
