That would be "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency". If the
translator
translated "holistic" to Turkish-for-"holy", then you might be better
off to
read the English language originals.

There is also "The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul", a sequel to DG'sHDA.
Until this moment I had been entirely unaware of "Starship Titanic".
I'll
have to start combing the local bookstores. Thanks.
I've observed (from asides and parenthetical remarks) that these groups
are populated by several Terry Pratchett fans. If you like Douglas
Adams,
chances are pretty good you'll like PTerry (who does to
Swords-and-Sorcery
what Adams did to Sci-Fi). (Check out alt.fan.pratchett.)
