Beware human, for what you are holding in your hands is the answer. The answer to an ancient question, asked by races from all across the universe. What would happen if two aliens, government agents armed with magical crystals, three creepy dark floating things, a human that's failed at life and a rhinoceros having an identity crisis are packed into a dingy, Western Sydney suburb?
This book reminded me of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was very funny and very interesting to read. I don't want to spoil the story for anyone, so I won't say too much, but I'm pretty sure you'll like it if you're a fan of Douglas Adams.
