The publisher approached Eoin Colfer with the idea of carrying on with Douglas Adams’ series in a new book to be called, And Another Thing. To his credit, Colfer was initially shocked at the invitation.

I admire Colfer’s work on the Artemis Fowl series, but didn’t the ending of Mostly Harmless* slam the door on “the continuing misadventures of Arthur Dent?
(*And what a downer that ending was. I read later on that Adams was particularly depressed when he wrote that one, and it shows. Oh, how it shows.)
I confess that I don’t know about Mostly Harmless, but I’m sure there are rational and irrational ways of extending Dent’s adventures. I got irritated at the blasphemy in Restaurant at the End of the Universe and stopped reading with that book. I keep thinking to go back to it, but I haven’t yet.
