Deal Details
Various Retailers have Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency 2-Book Box Set (eBook) by Douglas Adams for $1.99.

Thanks to Deal Hunter powerfuldoppler for sharing this deal.

Available Retailers: Book Set Details:
  • Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
    • Douglas Adams, the "master of wacky words and even wackier tales" (Entertainment Weekly), once again boggles the mind with a completely unbelievable story of ghosts, time travel, eccentric computer geniuses, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the end of the world, and—of course—missing cats.
  • The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul
    • When a check-in desk at London's Heathrow Airport disappears in a ball of orange flame, the event is said to be an act of God. But which god, wonders holistic detective Dirk Gently. And how is this connected to Dirk's battle with his cleaning lady over his filthy refrigerator…or to the murder of his latest client? Or are these events just another stretch of coincidences in the life of the world's most off-kilter private investigator?

So this is the first two books in a trilogy? Seems like an odd boxed set, or am I missing something?

Congratulations! You have now discovered the sleezy truth of advertising. The term "collection" or "box set" technically means nothing, but *implies* completeness. And they bank on your ignorance.

Keep that in mind the next time you're looking at a DVD/Blu-ray box set that advertises itself as "The Complete Collection", and includes like five episodes.

It's two complete books. The third isn't really a part of it. It's more just a collection of essays and previously unpublished writings from Adams. Not exactly sure why they listed it as a trilogy.

The collection in the Salmon of Doubt includes some chapters from a potential third Dirk Gently novel, although Adams was also considering using those ideas for a new Hitchhiker's book. In no way would I consider the Dirk Gently stories to be a trilogy, what's in Salmon Of Doubt is interesting but it is not a third novel.

As others have said less succinctly, no.

These are two hilarious books, and while they're written in very much the same clever and whimsical style as the Hitchhiker series, they're a great change of pace. I first read them around 30 years ago, and they were worth re-reading several times, but it's been a decade or more. May have to do so again soon. Dirk's method of navigation has proved invaluable to me over the years.
