And Another Thing ... will be the sixth novel in the now improbably named Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. Eight years after the death of its creator, Douglas Adams, the author's widow, Jane Belson, has given her approval for the project to be continued by the international number one bestselling children's writer, Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl novels. Douglas Adams himself once said, 'I suspect at some point in the future I will write a sixth Hitchhiker book. Five seems to be a wrong kind of number, six is a better kind of number.' 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 schooldays, 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...


《啊，還有一件事……》是《銀河便車指南》系列的第六本書。本系列創始者道格拉斯‧亞當斯過世八年後，其遺孀簡‧貝爾森同意歐恩‧科弗繼續撰寫本系列續作，歐恩‧科弗為全球最暢銷的童書作家，著有《阿特米斯奇幻歷險》系列小說。道格拉斯‧亞當斯曾說：「我猜想，我在未來某個時候會寫下第六本《銀河便車指南》……五似乎是不太對勁的數字，六比較好。」簡對科弗有這樣的評價：「我非常喜歡科弗的作品，也想不出有誰更適合替亞瑟、柴法德、馬文寫出新生。」科弗自學生時期，就是本系列的書迷，他表示：「得到可以撰寫此系列續作的機會，就像突然得到自己想要的超能力，多年來，我在腦海中不斷構思這個系列的精采結局，而現在終於有機會可以付諸實現。」各位讀者，準備迎接書中的驚奇世界吧！
