Don't Panic

While checking my e-mail this morning, Gmail provided me with some very exciting news via Reuters. Author Eoin Colfer (of Artemis Fowl fame) will be writing a new book in Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series! (Adams passed away in 2001 from a heart attack at age 49.)

The book, titled And Another Thing..., continues the story from the previous five books The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Life, the Universe, and Everything, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, and Mostly Harmless. And Another Thing... is scheduled for publication in October of 2009.

I can't speak for anyone else because I haven't been practicing my ventriloquism, but I'm terribly excited to get my hands on that book; so much so that I may even attempt to break in to Penguin's offices and "borrow" the manuscript. Keely, I'm expecting you to be my wingman ---wingwoman... no... partner in crime... hmmm, seems like a little much... teammate... yes--- teammate on this definitely illegal and potentially deadly mission. (On second thought, "teammate" sounds a little cheesy... ACCOMPLICE! Success.)
