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.
