About the Book Released to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the bestselling works The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Artemis Fowl, And Another Thing . . . continues the popular series started by the late Douglas Adams. Book Synopsis And Another Thing ... will be the sixth novel in the now improbably named Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. Eight years after the death of its creator, Douglas Adams, the authors widow, Jane Belson, has given her approval for the project to be continued by the international number one bestselling childrens writer, Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl novels. Douglas Adams himself once said, I suspect at some point in the future I will write a sixth Hitchhiker book. Five seems to be a wrong kind of number, six is a better kind of number. Belson said of Eoin Colfer, I love his books and could not think of a better person to transport Arthur, Zaphod and Marvin to pastures new. Colfer, a fan of Hitchhiker since his schooldays, said, Being given the chance to write this book is like suddenly being offered the superpower of your choice. For years I have been finishing this incredible story in my head and now I have the opportunity to do it in the real world. Prepare to be amazed... Review Quotes I would love to finish Hitchhiker on a slightly more upbeat note, so five seems to be a wrong kind of number, six is a better kind of number. -- Douglas Adams My first reaction was semi-outrage that anyone should be allowed to tamper with this incredible series. But on reflection I realised that this is a wonderful opportunity to work with characters I have loved since childhood and give them something of my own voice while holding onto the spirit of Douglas Adams and not laying a single finger on his five books. -- Eoin Colfer About the Author Eoin Colfer is the New York Times best-selling author of the Artemis Fowl series, Airman, Half Moon Investigations, The Supernaturalist, Eoin Colfers Legend of... books, The Wish List, Benny and Omar, and Benny and Babe.
