Douglas Adams' Final 'Hitch Hiker's Guide' Found LONDON (Reuters) - The final unfinished novel by cult British author Douglas Adams is to be published next year on the anniversary of his death, his agent says. "A Salmon of a Doubt," the final and sixth part of his classic "The "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy,'' has been edited from files found on Adams's computer after he died suddenly in May, Ed Victor told the Sunday Telegraph. "We have pored over Douglas's hard drive. There were so many different versions of the novel. He would take it and then revise it repeatedly so there were many files," said Victor. "As soon as he wrote anything he would say, 'Oh God, that's terrible'. He was a very, very self-critical author," he added. Adams died from a heart attack at his California home aged 49. His "Hitch Hiker's Guide," about a group of galactic travelers who survive the demolition of Earth to build a space bypass, began life as a 1978 BBC Radio series. It was turned into a best-selling novel, a TV series, record album, computer game and adapted for stage. It made Adams a household name on both sides of the Atlantic. "A Salmon of a Doubt" will be published next May in a compendium of Adam's final works, including a film screenplay for the Hitch Hiker's Guide, Victor said.
Sweet! Although, I didn't like the last 2 books nearly as much as the original trilogy. Hopefully this one goes back to the old style.
