Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: Part Six of Three - And Another Thing… - And Another Thing... - Eoin Colfer
I hadn't even heard that this was in the works. Authorized by Adams' widow and estate. Adams himself seems to have planned to write another book -- he was reportedly dissatisfied with "everybody dies" as an ending -- but died himself before he could get to it. Adams left some notes about what he wanted to do, but Colfer didn't use them. For what it's worth, it seems to be getting fairly good reviews; the only specific complaint that I've seen is that it's too long. (That said, all of the reviews have more than a hint of "Oh, thank goodness, it's NOT AWFUL!" about them. I'm not at all sure that reviews should sound so relieved about the quality of a book, somehow.)
Don't know if I'll give it a try or not.
