Review: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Secondary Phase

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Secondary Phase The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Secondary Phase by Douglas Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This science fiction comedy radio series written saw its broadcast in the United Kingdom by BBC Radio 4 in 1978. "The Primary Phase"adventures of Arthur Dent and his alien friend Ford Prefect, who writes for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, are the genesis of what Adams adapted into the best-selling novel in 1979 (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy). So, even with this later phases we are hearing the emergence of the core stories of the "trilogy". I had not known that radioplay beginnings of the popular books, until now. This edition packing the Phase as an audiobook includes an afterword interview with Adams looking back on the success of his writings as well as biographical details such as his school days and even working with Graham Chapman on the TV series Out of the Trees (1975), during the height of Chapman's alcoholism.
