Grab your towels and stick out your thumb, because Arthur Dent’s going hitchhiking again and, this time, he’s got a new guide…
I was delighted to red that Artemis Fowl creator and all-round top bloke, Eoin Colfer, has been chosen to write a new installment in the Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy series – called ‘And Another Thing…’.
Eoin said:
“My first reaction was semi-outrage that anyone should be allowed to tamper with this incredible series.
“But on reflection I realised that this is a wonderful opportunity to work with characters I have loved since childhood and give them something of my own voice while holding on to the spirit of Douglas Adams.
“I feel more pressure to perform now than I ever have with my own books, and that is why I am bloody determined that this will be the best thing I have ever written.”
The book will be published in October 2009 and I, for one, can’t wait!
Tommy
