The sixth and final book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy is set to be released tomorrow, October 12th, 2009. Douglas Adams, who I'm sure you all know passed away several years ago, will not be the author, but rather Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl series and longtime fan of Adams' work. The title, "And Another Thing..." is based on this passage from the third book in the Hitchhiker's series:
I expect the book to be high-enough quality for me to buy it, but we'll see if Colfer can even approach the pure genius that was Douglas Adams.The storm had now definitely abated, and what thunder there was now grumbled over more distant hills, like a man saying "And another thing…" twenty minutes after admitting he's lost the argument.
