And Another Thing... is the sixth novel in the increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. Eight years after the death of its creator, Douglas Adams, widow Jane Belson sanctioned the project to be written by the international number-one bestselling children's writer Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl novels.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 school days, 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 of 'And Another Thing...' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Eoin Colfer effectively captures the sense of absurdity that made the Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy so much fun.

And Another Thing is not as good as the first two books in the series (and neither were Douglas Adams' later novels) but the characters feel familiar and the novel is packed with plenty of jokes and one-liners, some of which are genuinely laugh out loud funny.

This sixth book of the trilogy effectively captures the spirit of Douglas Adams' H2G2 novels and is a very welcome addition to the series.
