AI-generated Review of “Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency”:
Snippets and Summary:
This time there would be no witnesses.
Durch die Fähigkeit der Nacht, alles in die Länge zu ziehen, hatte sich der Alptraum über Matsch und Einsamkeit scheinbar über angsterregende, unvorstellbare Zeiten erstreckt und war erst mit dem Auftauchen schleimiger Wesen mit Beinen zu Ende gegangen, die aus dem schleimigen Meer gekrochen waren.
»Die Schwerkraft«, sagte Dirk mit einem leicht herablassenden Schulterzucken, »ja, die gab´s sicherlich auch noch. Obwohl das natürlich bloß eine Entdekcung war. Sie war schon da und mußte nur entdeckt werden.« Er nahm einen Penny aus seiner Tasche warf ihn nachlässig zu den Kieselsteinen hinüber, die an dem gepflasterten Weg lagen. »Siehst du?« sagter er. »Sie schalten sie auch am Wochenende nicht ab.[«]
Dem Elektrischen Mönch war ungeheuer wohl zumute, und er fiel in einen schwungvollen Galopp. Das heißt, er spornte sein Pferd schwungvoll zu einem Galopp an, und sein Pferd feil schwunglos in denselben.
"Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" Description:
The Open Library:
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is the first ever fully realised Ghost—Horror—Detective—Whodunit— Time—Travel—Romantic—Musical— Comedy Epic. Dirk Gently himself is a detective — well, a sort of detective.. There is a long and honourable tradition of great detectives and Dirk Gently does not belong to it. Sherlock Holmes observed that once you have eliminated the impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Dirk Gently, however, does not like to eliminate the impossible. He is far more interested in quantum mechanics, conjuring tricks and pizza than in fiddling around with fingerprint powder, and so his investigations tend to produce startling results. A simple search for a missing cat reveals two ghosts, a dodo, an Electric Monk, the devastating secret that lies behind the whole of human history and threatens to bring it to a premature close, and, finally, the utterly terrifying reason why Richard MacDuff has had a sofa stuck on his stairs for three weeks. Sadly, the cat dies. --front flap
