Penguin has launched the cover for And Another Thing…, the new sequel to Douglas Adams‘ classic series Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
It was announced in September 2008 that Eoin Colfer, best-selling author of the Artemis Fowl novels, would pen the sixth Hitchhiker’s novel, to be published in October 2009.
Adams, whose final Hitchhiker’s novel was 1992′s Mostly Harmless, had said in interviews that he’d like to do a new Hitchhiker’s novel that would truly end the series.
‘I suspect at some point in the future I will write a sixth Hitchhiker book … I would love to finish Hitchhiker on a slightly more upbeat note. Five seems to be a wrong kind of number, six is a better kind of number.’
Adams died of heart failure in 2001 at age 49. It was his widow, Jane Belson, who sanctioned the new sequel, which will see the return of Arthur Dent, Zaphod Beeblebrox, and Marvin the robot.
