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.
...
Colfer, who has been a fan of Hitchhiker since his schooldays, said being given the opportunity to continue the series was "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," he added. "It is a gift from the gods. So, thank you Thor and Odin."
