About this listen
An Englishman's continuing search through space and time for a decent cup of tea . . . Arthur Dent's accidental association with that wholly remarkable book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has not been entirely without incident. Arthur has travelled the length, breadth and depth of known, and unknown, space. He has stumbled forwards and backwards through time. He has been blown up, reassembled, cruelly imprisoned, horribly released and colourfully insulted more than is strictly necessary. And, of course, he has comprehensively failed to grasp the meaning of life, the universe and everything.
Arthur has, though, finally made it home to Earth. But that does not mean he has escaped his fate. For Arthur's chances of getting his hands on a decent cuppa are evaporating along with the world's oceans. Because no sooner has he arrived than he finds out that Earth is about to be blown up...again.
And Another Thing...by Eoin Colfer is the rather unexpected, but very welcome, sixth instalment of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. It features a pantheon of unemployed gods, everyone's favourite renegade Galactic President, a lovestruck green alien, an irritating computer and at least one very large slab of cheese.

And Another Thing: Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is written by Eoin Colfer and is Part Six of this best-selling sci-fi fantasy audiobook series narrated by captivating English actor Simon Jones. The woes of Arthur Dent continue as he endures his impossible search for a cup of tea. He’s tossed back and forth through space with only a terribly depressed alien for company. Dent’s wild adventures are coupled with an unending search for the meaning of life off Earth as the planet he longs for is destroyed, then replaced, then destroyed again. Available now from Audible.

Top quartileIf you’ve listened to books by Eoin Colfer before, how does this one compare?
First book I have listenedWhat about Simon Jones’s performance did you like?
Yes, he got the magic outIf you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
It's complicated, but still don't panic.Any additional comments?
I don't think anyone was asking for more Arthur Dent after Douglas Adams died. It could easily have been bad and embarassing. This book is good an uplifting. The jokes aren't quite so good and the story makes slightly less sense than in the Douglas Adams series. But that's hardly a criticism.Cleverer and better than we deserved it to be

Characters we know and loved were there, though I found Trillion quite unlike the Trillion of old. But we also had
the brilliant fleshing out of Random Dent, a cynical and hardened galactic president with a string of academic degrees and political savvy… inside a moody teenage girl. (The joy was how often the two personalities were in natural accord.)
If you want to like this book then you will. There’s more than enough to like. If you need to think is written by Adams in order to like it.. then do that. You will be pleased to spend time with his characters and find some new ones. And if you KNOW that this is NEVER going to be anything like as good as ADAMS .. well, why waste your time? You won’t let yourself like it. In which case save your money and by a different book.
A love letter (with jokes, doodles, and tea cup rings) to the originals
