The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy pt 6

[Majsju]

Douglas Adams's increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy is to be extended to six titles, after Adams's widow Jane Belson sanctioned a project which will see children's author Eoin Colfer taking up the story.

 

And Another Thing… by Colfer, whose involvement with the project was personally requested by Belson, will be published next October by Penguin. No information has yet emerged about the plot of the novel but Hitchhiker fans will be hoping for a resurrection of much-loved characters Arthur Dent, Trillian and Ford Prefect, who were all apparently blown to smithereens at the end of the fifth novel, Mostly Harmless.

Hmm, I call scepticism on this. But if he does pull it off, awesome. Question is, how much material did Adams leave behind for Colfer to play with?

I'm very very skeptical about this. I'd be quite content to let Adams legacy stay entirely his.
