Eoin Colfer to write sixth Hitchhiker’s Guide book

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.

Terrible idea, not needed.  Hitchhiker’s died with the sad passing of Douglas Adams – I’m a huge fan of Adams’ work and I won’t be buying into this money grabbing idea.  Penguin should be ashamed of themselves.
